[READ BEFFORE POSTING] About the SoFA Members Discussion category

This category provides a hall for general discussion around needs particular to the SoFA Network.

Please note, discussions in this particular category (but not necessarily its sub-categories) are visible to everyone on the internet, but only SoFA Network Members can participate (so it functions as a sort of stage, where we want our work to be fully transparent (although hopefully not wholly performative)). There are also currently two related, private categories:

  • the Staff Member office, a place for Staff Members to have focused discussion about the needs of the SoFA non-profit
  • [the private Network Member discussion] category, a place for any Network Members to have discussions only with those members.

If you are a SoFA Network Member, you can request to be added to the group. This will allow you to post!

Some conversations you might have here include:

  • Reflect about your circle work;
  • Get feedback from SoFA members on wider discussions
  • Invite participation from SoFA Members!
  • Network - find other people from the SoFA network who are working on similar questions or with similar clients.

Is there any part of the forum that is not visible to everyone on the internet? If so, how do I find it?

Hey @Andrew.Grant, currently the SoFA IT Support category and the Admin & Moderation section are completely private.

You can view all sections by navigating to the forum’s root:
https://forums.sociocracyforall.org/

You’ll probably notice the SoFA IT Support section has a lock on it to indicate that it’s private. Private sections which are visible to you should show up with a lock on them.

I also added a Private Discussion sub-category as well in case folks are wanting that. The curation of the Membership forums are in Membership Circle’s domain, so that’s where more discussion can happen.

Btw, the SoFA IT Support or SoFA IT Help are great places to learn about the forums and how it works :slight_smile:
