@AudMonte01 I am in Istanbul chapter. Can I be both in Ankara and Istanbul chapters? I want Ankara chapter to work closely with the Istanbul one.

[halil-bugol]

If Ali is added to the Ankara chapter, we, as Istanbul, can support Ankara both financially and in other ways. @AudMonte01

[AudMonte01]

Thank you for submitting this request @aliok , and offering support @halil-bugol - I am tagging the current organizer who was just enabled this year, and may need the help.

@sdtslmn - Introducing Ali and Halil. They are both organizers of KCD Istanbul, and the CNCF Istanbul chapter. I hope you will be able to collaborate with Ali on organizing meetups for Ankara.

[aliok]

Thanks for the intro @AudMonte01 @sdtslmn I see in your profile that you live in Dubai. Are you able to organize events/meetups/etc. in Ankara?

[halil-bugol]

@sdtslmn is not active. @AudMonte01 I think you can introduce us via e-mail.

[sdtslmn]

Thanks for the intro @AudMonte01 @sdtslmn I see in your profile that you live in Dubai. Are you able to organize events/meetups/etc. in Ankara?

Hello sorry, I was away because of a health issue. I frequently travel between Ankara and Dubai, but I spend most of the year in Ankara. I will check all the conversations this week

[AudMonte01]

Thank you for the response, @sdtslmn. Please schedule some time with Ali here, a CNCF Ambassador with community organization experience. It would be great for you to learn how you both can best collaborate.

@aliok - please let Sedat know your availability.

[aliok]

@sdtslmn Let's connect in the 2nd half of July? Would that work for you?

[AudMonte01]

Hi @aliok and @sdtslmn - were you both able to connect?

[aliok]

@AudMonte01 we weren't able to.

@sdtslmn what would work for you?

[AudMonte01]

Since @sdtslmn is not responsive, and the chapter activity has been 0 since we enabled him, I will remove @sdtslmn as an organizer and add @aliok if there is no response by the end of this week.

Kind regards, Audra

Hello Audra

My wife started cancer treatment. As of today, we had the last session. I was a little busy with her and had to deal with my daughter so that I couldn't pay much attention to the chapter up to know. However, I want to align with Ali within this month according to his availability and start activities as of the beginning of September as a chapter.

Thank you for the response and insight, @sdtslmn. I am glad to hear of her recovery.

We look forward to you and Ali's communication.

[AudMonte01]

Hello @aliok - can you confirm @sdtslmn has reached out?

[aliok]

Hi @AudMonte01

Unfortunately no. I wish him and his wife well. Family is obviously more important than work.

[AudMonte01]

100% agree

In the meantime, I am adding you as an interim organizer, and Sedat can always come back and participate when he is ready.

That said, you should have received an automated welcome email from me just now with further instructions.

This issue is closed for now.
