Reviving a Dormant Community

Communities can go dormant for multiple reasons; the organizer may move or burn out, the venue may no longer be available, a global pandemic makes it impossible for us to meet.

  • How long ago was the last event?
  • Why did events stop happening?
  • Are there pre-existing resources (internet domain names? Email server?)? Can you get access to them?
