The OPEA Community Working Group aims to create an active, diverse, and self-sustaining community to support the growth of the OPEA project.
The OPEA community is just starting to form; the Community Working Group needs to build awareness of the project and set up the infrastructure to support and empower the burgeoning community.
The OPEA Community Working Group’s priority is to develop an online and in-person communication and event structure in which to allow the community to thrive.

- Social media channel growth and management
- Standup addition channels as needed
- Mailing list growth and management
- OPEA.dev development and upkeep
- The OPEA Wiki development and upkeep
- OPEA community event creation, management, and advertisement
- OPEA partner participation in community initiatives
