Finding the best platform for organizing online communities is not easy. After Circle and Discourse, I am moving The Engineering Book Club to Discord. Any advice?
You will need ICs to review the code, approve the PR, and this will go to the pipeline and eventually get released. So you won't avoid engineers having the context of this piece of work.
In my opinion, an EM should use these 10-15 minutes for any of the responsibilities that they have in their role.
I've heard this a few times already on Twitter, but wouldn't your time be better spent in other areas? even if it is 10 or 15 mins? I am having a hard time understanding this sentiment from SEM.

In my opinion, access to internet should always be behind a device controlled by an adult. And it should be this adult's responsibility to set appropriate restrictions for minors.
It's hard to keep people active for this kind of initiatives. I am also running an engineering book club and found the same challenges, especially with timezones. However, as soon as you find a group that can join every week at the same time over Zoom, it's the best way to build community and enjoy the discussions.

"Best practices" is a really good tool if you use it in the correct context.
