## Where do I find "the community"?

The main place is the [Matrix community chat channels](/intro/contact/#matrix). You'll find a number of folks who are actively interested in the project and/or using `abra` and some of our recipes. Furthermore, Matrix has an excellent network of Cool People :tm: and in practice we've e-met a lot of groups who are interested in Co-op Cloud.

## Onboarding new project members

We still haven't worked this out. We're working on it.

## Gathering new case studies

We try to gather as many "case studies" as possible, stories & concrete examples of Co-op Cloud being used For Good :tm: See [coopcloud.tech](https://coopcloud.tech) for our existing examples. These studies help people identify what the purpose of the project is.

## Monthly updates

We have decided we'll try to do monthly progress updates. These will be published on the Co-op Cloud blog. It's a pretty loose format and we're basically just copy/pasta'ing things to a public pad during the month: ["This month in Co-op Cloud"](https://pad.autonomic.zone/YHKn4vHORmS6wjN1t2zi5A?both). Feel free to add your items to the monthly agenda and they will be included! All the previous posts can be seen [here](https://coopcloud.tech/blog/).
