[Themaintainers] Re-launching Monthly Maintenance Sessions

[Camille E. Acey]

This sounds like a great plan. The one thing I would suggest is to use a website like Luma where people can either signup for one session OR subscribe to.the whole series.  The Zoom signup we were using before required us to register for the whole series IIRC.

Thanks for stepping up to take these on!

Yours in the end,
Camille

> Hi all— 
> 
> As some of you may know, the Maintainers’ _Monthly Maintenance Sessions[https://themaintainers.org/monthly-maintenance-sessions/]_ wound down at the end of 2025. With the blessing of past organizer Liliana and the Maintainers Steering Committee, a few of us would like to continue hosting these sessions, beginning in February. 
> 
> If you are not familiar with the sessions yet, there is a description from Liliana _here[https://themaintainers.org/monthly-maintenance-sessions/]_:
> 
> Monthly maintenance sessions are a free, virtual accountability space to support you in prioritizing your maintenance practice.
> 
> Think of these sessions as a casual collective study hall, where we set aside time together to dedicate to the often over-looked maintenance required to sustain in our individual, work, and community lives. Together we set aside dedicated time to maintain.
> 
> For those who have attended previously, we will do our best to continue to support the spirit of these sessions and the associated community. 
> 
> *!!! If you are interested in attending the monthly maintenance session in the future, please complete this *_*POLL[https://www.when2meet.com/?34705220-lAZPw]*_* to identify a time that is best for everyone. !!! *In the poll, the time zone might not adjust to your location automatically.
