# Community Meetings Join the LinkML community for regular sessions featuring presentations on LinkML applications, best practices, and community projects. The community meeting is hosted on the third Thursday of the month 8:00 AM PT / 4:00 PM UTC. ## Organizers | Name | Affiliation | | -- | -- | |[Sarah Gehrke](https://tislab.org/members/sarah-gehrke.html)| University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill| |[Kevin Schaper](https://tislab.org/members/kevin-schaper.html)| University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill| |[Corey Cox](https://tislab.org/members/corey-cox.html)| University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill| |[Sierra Moxon](https://berkeleybop.org/people/sierra-moxon/)| Lawernce Berkeley National Laboratory| ## Guidelines for presenting at a Community meeting - All presenters, whether from academia, non-profit, or industry, share our **Open Science philosophy**. At a minimum, this means all LinkML models and documentation shown during a Community Call must be openly accessible for anyone to view e.g. in a public repository. - Slides will be shared and made publicly viewable unless there is an exception approved by the Core LinkML Developer team. - Community Meetings are recorded and uploaded to our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@LinkML-org). This is the default. If you don't want your presentation posted online, it is the responsibility of the presenter to communicate that to the meeting organizers before your presentation. **Interested in presenting?** Contact Sarah Gehrke on Slack and they can help get you on the schedule! ## Helpful links - **[Community Meeting Agenda](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MStpDyh9LOZYJTjLtnpOsNYc3HaeU-bz0CHAI9xOjfQ/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.6sqkx1xhumse)**: In this document you can find the Zoom link to join the monthly call along with other helpful content. - Community Meeting updates are often shared in the **#linkml-community Slack channel**.
