### Event Overview
#### Target Audience
Anyone interested in building on Holochain that has already set up their Developer Environment.
#### Audience Requirement
They have already successfully installed the holochain dev environment available at: https://developer.holochain.org/quick-start/
Have read through the documentation in [Core Concepts](https://developer.holochain.org/concepts/1_the_basics/).
#### Pitch to Audience
Get support learning how to build Holochain applications (hApps) from some of the Holochain Core Team.
#### Goals
**Primary**: Eliminate the need for this online meeting! Get the feedback about where people get lost or hit a dead end. Iterating on all documentation, tools, videos etc, so that soon, more people can get started building without any in-person support.
**Secondary**: Hand hold people through getting familiar with Holochain so that they, as individuals, are prepared to either begin building on their own, or participate in an upcoming Holochain hApp Jam event.
**Tertiary**: Give new developers another easy entry point into getting started and getting to know others on the team and in the community. Some individuals may attend this event repeatedly.
#### Event Format
* 1 hour zoom call. (1.5 hours for hosts. Schedule hosts 15 min before until 15 min after)
* Frequency: Once a month (On Tuesday, starting mid-May)
* Tone: Not professional. Casual, but with an agenda.
#### Session support:
Two Holochain team members most capable of iterating on our tools and onboarding materials regarding building Holochain Apps. MAYBE: One facilitator or additional community member as well.
- Jost
- Gregory
- Matthew / Bear / DevRel / Invited Community Member (facilitator / trainee / backup)
#### Questions:
How does this interrelate with Community on Discord and Nathan (holding discord space)?
