 # crates-io-team
 the home of the crates io team
+
+The crates.io team is a set of people who help direct and focus the
+development and maintenance of crates.io as a service.
+
+## Meetings
+
+All are welcome to join the team's weekly open meetings that happen in the
+#infra/crates.io channel on Discord on Thursdays at 4pm UTC/8pm ET. You can
+get specific details on a meeting by looking at issues tagged [`agenda`] on
+this repo's issue tracker.
+
+At the end of each meeting, the notetaker will post notes as a comment on the
+issue and close it.
+
+[`agenda`]: https://github.com/rust-lang/crates-io-team/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aagenda 
+
+Occasionally, (~monthly) the team will have a video call to discuss topics that
+require deeper conversation. Participation requires an invite, but don't hesistate
+to ask for one. These meetings will be recorded and posted to YouTube, if all
