       Have you been laid off? Me too. What if instead of just finding another job we all team up and build something together? At least we could act as accountability partners and help each other through this phase in our careers.It doesn't have to be too formal, we could just take turns talking about our next steps and checking in on progress.If you're interested in this reply with the days and times that you would be available for a regularly repeating "standup" video/voice call.#fedihire

       I'm serious about this, I see way too many brilliant people losing their jobs right now, and I've been out of work for like two years and it doesn't look like that's going to change any time soon. I want to keep my skills sharp, and the only way for me to stay motivated is to have people to keep me accountable. We can keep the standups brief and self-focused, and have breakout rooms for people who want to team up to work on projects. Low expectations, I just want to build things again!

       And if a voice/video call sounds too intense, maybe we could just do it here in toots or something? I don't want to force it or try to be in control of anything. I just have a lot of free time and it seems like some of y'all might too, and I think we could collaborate. Let's hear ideas!

       I'm getting some feedback that voice/video might be a tough for some people, and scheduling will probably be too much of a challenge since we're all over the world. One option is a Signal group chat which a lot of people here probably already have.Another is a Matrix/Element chatroom, which is a kind of decentralized Discord/Slack.I've already set up the later so sign up and connect if you can and let's see if it works. https://matrix.to/#/#fedihire-funemployment-club:matrix.org#fedihire #fedihireFunemploymentClub

       Also, better ideas for a name are welcome too. I suck at naming things.
