Conda Community website mockups

Outreach to invite more organizations to join this meeting

Place to store agenda: https://github.com/conda-incubator/governance/tree/master/meetings perhaps
Centralized help for the community?
- Stale and lock bot going to start being used. Manay of these details could be migrated to a FAQ for the community. Via Github discussions?
- Separating technical issues from user questions is important
- Choosing the appropriate umbrella organization is required. maybe conda?
- Jaime: dual strategy? Forum and more private chat app like slack
- discord?
- We need at least one way though... (for folks to reach the community group? mailing list?)
  - we have 6 people on this one: https://groups.google.com/g/conda
  - how is the community room on gitter being used?
Packaging con call for presentations is open: http://packaging-con.org/
Adding a tab for open conda positions on our pending community website would be nice.
