For the potluck, please choose a plant-based recipe with whole plant foods — whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Please, no animal-based foods, vegan processed foods, white flours, or added oils, and we ask you to minimize added sweeteners and salt. If this sounds intimidating, don't worry! Contact Enrica at [enrica.sacca@ppmny.org](mailto:enrica.sacca@ppmny.org) to discuss simple dish ideas or check out our recipes at: [ppmny.org/recipes](http://ppmny.org/recipes/). *It's a good rule of thumb to double a recipe you would make at home! Please bring a serving utensil for your dish.*

Forest Hills Gardens Tour On Halloween-Members Appreciation-Limited Space

Please actually read the description of the event extra carefully BEFORE you RSVP. I have led two tours of Forest Hills Gardens for the Guides Association of New York City. This event will be much better. This event will be strictly limited in size to around 15 members or so. No guests please. Unfortunately, I will NOT add any first timers who I do not know to this event. However I plan on doing another event in Queens in November where I will add first timers. I consider this a members appreciation event. We will NOT accept any monetary contributions on this one. I want to primarily reward those members who have supported this group in the recent past by attending at least one event and hopefully more with few cancellations. It helps if you are also a member of my other group called NYC Wanderers-those events have always no contribution events. See: https://www.meetup.com/nyc-wanderers/?eventOrigin=your_groups As always, the waitlist for this group does NOT operate in the conventional way. Those on the waitlist will NOT be moved automatically to the going list when a space becomes available. IF APPLICABLE, ALWAYS JOIN THE WAIT LIST WITH LOW PRIORITY WHICH IS FREE. IF THERE IS A WAITLIST, IT APPEARS MEETUP WILL ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO JOIN MEETUP + BUT IN SMALLER LETTERS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE YOU CAN CLICK CONTINUE WITH THE FREE PLAN. There is NEVER a need to pay extra to use Meetup's High Priority wait list classification for this group. Forest Hills Gardens is a beautiful private planned community that looks a lot like it did when it was first designed in 1909. Halloween is a BIG deal in the gardens and thousands of people flock there each year. In other words, it's a madhouse especially on one street. We will avoid that by visiting in the morning and early afternoon. It will be a special treat because there will be many really interesting Halloween displays in the Gardens on Halloween. The event should last about 3 hours or so and if people want, they can eat in the neighborhood afterwards or do whatever they wish. There may be an opportunity to view one no longer active member's unique art collection. You probably won't see a better collection of NYC street scenes anywhere. Unfortunately, this member, who will remain anonymous, has many rules pertaining to the visit. To say that this member is a high maintenance individual is an understatement! (And hopefully, they don't read this!) It will be easy to get to the meeting location by public transportation and the Long Island Railroad. AS ALWAYS, PLEASE POST NO COMMENTS/QUESTIONS PRE-EVENT. RAIN DATE WILL BE SUNDAY NOVEMBER 1-many Halloween displays will still be up. Hope you can make it.

A Case for Community: Open Source Events with GatherPress

Community is vital to any open source ecosystem. It jumpstarts projects and careers, gives us encouragement, and helps us keep pushing forward together. And in open source communities, shouldn't the events platform be open too? Mike Auteri decided to do something about it. He brought the idea to the WordPress community and spent years building GatherPress, while navigating the very real challenges of adoption across a global community. Along the way, GatherPress has found its way into communities well beyond WordPress. Now the WordPress Foundation is building its events platform on GatherPress, and that work is moving quickly. Mike will share the story of how we got here, what the team has learned, and where we go next. **Update**: Pizza and drinks will be provided. **6:00–6:45 PM — Snacks and mingling** Grab a bite, meet other folks in the community, and settle in. **6:45–8:00 PM — A Case for Open Community** Mike shares his story about building community in the open. *Please let us know beforehand if you need accommodations for accessibility or food allergies.*
