In addition to their names, we will encourage everyone to add a short response to an icebreaker question, that will help us learn something personal about them and their work. Here are a few suggestions of these questions: - what was your biggest achievement this week? - when was the last time you saw a rainbow? - what are you most excited about this year? - what is your favorite flavour in cake/ice-cream? *(Do you have another interesting question to ask others? Add it here!)* In the section "Conversation Starters", we encourage everyone to advertise their events or give an update from their community. These don't have to be Turing Way "branded"! *We want to know about all the cool things you're working on.* :sparkles: #### Breakout room proposals You can stay in the main room the whole time. This will look like a "shut up and write" style of doing pomodoro sprints. But if you'd like to chat with other community members - for example if you'd like a refresher on how to navigate GitHub, or if you want to discuss edits and reviews on a chapter - you can go into a "breakout room" for the pomodoro 20 minute slot. If you have an idea for a topic you'd like to discuss in a breakout room, please add it below and put your name next to it. If you like one of the topics that is already suggested, please add your name next to that one. Team work makes the dream work.
