3. **Look out for and accept invitations** to our Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, and GitHub. Note that to access our 2i2c JupyterHub, you'll need to provide your GitHub username and accept the GitHub Teams invitation.
4. **Carpentries Instructor Training** - We partner with [The Carpentries](https://carpentries.org/), a nonprofit that teaches introductory coding skills around the world. This remote training is not coding-specific, but it is a pedagogical approach to teaching technical topics, and has grown a common teaching approach for NASA Openscapes Mentors. Please sign up following the 2-step process below.

```{=html}

```

a. Register for the event of your choice on our [Instructor Training event calendar](https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/training_calendar#upcoming-instructor-training) with the code: **OUR-CODE-HERE**. New events are added to this calendar in December, March, June, and September.
b. Complete Carpentries [profile-creation form](https://amy.carpentries.org/forms/request_training/) using the same code. **Please note**: Registration secures their seat; profile creation enables us to record their attendance and track their progress toward certification.

After we create a new Google Group, Julie, as Google Workspace Administrator, must change the Group Access Type to Allow Members Outside Your Organization.

We chose not to include an email subject prefix e.g. \[nmfs-openscapes-mentors\] since email itself is sent from the sender to the group address, and email includes footer with group information.

![Email sent to Google Group from Julia](images/google-group-email.png)

We're also using GitHub Teams more, for 2i2c access and coordinating. Rather than a Google Group that is difficult to hand off in terms of managing, a GitHub Team might be the way to go. This will raise challenges for any private info (e.g. Carpentries code), but that could be handled in Slack.
