Blurb: Add it in the issue (AAA)
In 2024, we are commencing a series of open [INSERT NAME HERE] that bring together any member of *The Turing Way* community - including people who have not yet contributed to the project!
Modelled off a political [town hall event](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_hall_meeting) these online sessions are an opportunity to better understand activities across the project and how decisions are made.
Our aim is to leverage the expertise across our community and we explicitly invite you to review our processes and recommend improvements.
We expect that the calls will be a mix of celebration, feedback, and opportunities to build connections with other organisations and initiatives around the world. 

Currently, this call is hosted in English. This call will be recorded for use by participants, and will use Zoom's automatic captioning. This call may also involve live discussion, screen-sharing, and other interactive activities that may be internet bandwidth-intensive. Slides will be shared after the call. A shared document will be used for collaborative note-taking, capturing feedback and learning. 

Notes:
- Keep the top issue regularly up-to-dated / Include this discussion on the Community name
- [AAA] Open a new issue to review the title of the Community Call (link the new issue to the planning steps https://github.com/the-turing-way/the-turing-way/issues/3528) -
