# Conversa PUG: Open Call Overview
:link: [link.g0v.network`/pug`](https://link.g0v.network/pug)
This pad is for keeping running notes for any open calls, and sharing details on getting involved.
:::spoiler **Conversa is an unofficial Polis User Group (PUG).**

:::
We are a community of users and fans of the Polis software project, and the processes in which it has been embedded (e.g. vTaiwan). Users include anyone eager to explore the tool/processes, including prospective conversation moderators & participants, as well as self-hosted server administrators.
