Thanks for starting this thread @wouter I also feel the same about this. I also hope we can agree on being more open communicating financials and labour. @osb and I will be talking about that at our DigLife talk 
I think we shouldn’t expect user members to dig thru our Nextcloud as it contains in-transit stuff that’s hard to parse without full context. It’s the job of Operational Members to translate our internal work to clear public messages that reflect status and plans. The roadmap that our new member @georgiamoon helped us develop at yesterday’s design session is a good start and we will sharing that here.
How do ppl feel about Operational Members being more proactive putting out messages like:
So User Members get more digestable updates about what to expect? If User Members want to be more involved, they can then come to our All Hands meetings to dive deeper.
I think this is a really good idea, and I wonder how we can best facilitate the formation of this group, as a Circle or otherwise. I think this group should have input on roadmap, and some user member support and social events can be in the domain of this group to organize.
