## Around the Community

### Talking & Doc'ing

On last week's Talking & Doc'ing we launched the Monthly blog post and the new [e-commerce guide](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/ecommerce/)

You can always find Talking and Doc'ing in the Discord Events, or on the [Astro community calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=c_g6re3u5gkl0mug3ktn1dibqhfk%40group.calendar.google.com). We never know what we'll be doing week-to-week, so you'll just have to show up to find out! 

**And if you're on the Fediverse, you can follow the [Astro Docs Mastodon account](https://m.webtoo.ls/@astrodocs/) for weekly updates, fun and frolic!**
