+=====================
+Contributor community
+=====================
+
+pandas is a community-driven open source project developed by a large group
+of `contributors <https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/graphs/contributors>`_
+and a smaller group of `maintainers <https://pandas.pydata.org/about/team.html>`_.
+The pandas leadership has made a strong commitment to creating an open,
+inclusive, and positive community. Please read the pandas `Code of Conduct
+<https://pandas.pydata.org/community/coc.html>`_ for guidance on how to
+interact with others in a way that makes the community thrive.
+
+We offer several meetings and communication channels to share knowledge and
+connect with others within the pandas community.
+
+Community meeting
+-----------------
+
+The pandas Community Meeting is a regular sync meeting for the project's
+maintainers which is open to the community. Everyone is welcome to attend and
+contribute to conversations.
+
+The meetings take place on the second Wednesday of each month at 18:00 UTC.
+
+The minutes of past meetings are available in `this Google Document <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tGbTiYORHiSPgVMXawiweGJlBw5dOkVJLY-licoBmBU/edit?usp=sharing>`__.
+
+
+New contributor meeting
+-----------------------
+
+On the third Wednesday of the month, we hold meetings to welcome and support
+new contributors in our community.
+
+| 👋 you all are invited
+| 💬 everyone can present (add yourself to the hackMD agenda)
+| 👀 anyone can sit in and listen
+
+Attendees are new and experienced contributors, as well as a few maintainers.
+We aim to answer questions about getting started, or help with work in
+progress when possible, as well as get to know each other and share our
+learnings and experiences.
+
+The agenda for the next meeting and minutes of past meetings are available in
+`this HackMD <https://hackmd.io/@pandas-dev/HJgQt1Tei>`__.
+
+Calendar
+--------
+
+This calendar shows all the community meetings. Our community meetings are
+ideal for anyone wanting to contribute to pandas, or just curious to know how
+current development is going.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The pandas contributor community conducts conversations mainly via this channel.
+Any community member can open issues to:
+
+- Report bugs, e.g. "I noticed the behavior of a certain function is
+  incorrect. Please fix it."
+  between versions. Is this expected?"
+- Request features, e.g. "I would like this error message to be more readable"
+- Request documentation improvements, e.g. "I found this section unclear"
+- Ask questions, e.g. "I noticed the behavior of a certain function
+  changed".
+
+    Ideally your questions should be related to how pandas work rather
+    than how you use pandas. `StackOverflow <https://stackoverflow.com/>`_ is
+    better suited for answering usage questions, and we ask that all usage
+    questions are first asked on StackOverflow. Thank you for respecting are
+    time and wishes. 🙇
+
+Maintainers and frequent contributors might also open issues to discuss the
+ongoing development of the project. For example:
+
+- Report issues with the CI, GitHub Actions, or the performance of pandas
+- Open issues relating to the internals
+- Start roadmap discussion aligning on proposals what to do in future
+  releases or changes to the API.
+- Open issues relating to the project's website, logo, or governance
+
+The developer mailing list
+--------------------------
+
+The pandas mailing list `[email protected] <mailto://pandas-dev@python
+.org>`_ is used for long form
+conversations and to engages people in the wider community who might not
+be active on the issue tracker but we would like to include in discussions.
+
+Community slack
+---------------
+
+We have a chat platform for contributors, maintainers and potential
+contributors. This is not a space for user questions, rather for questions about
+contributing to pandas. The slack is a private space, specifically meant for
+people who are hesitant to bring up their questions or ideas on a large public
+mailing list or GitHub.
+
+If this sounds like the right place for you, you are welcome to join! email us
+at `[email protected] <mailto://[email protected]>`_ and let us
+know that you read and agree to our `Code of Conduct <https://pandas.pydata.org/community/coc.html>`_
+😉 to get an invite. And please remember the slack is not meant to replace the
+mailing list or issue tracker - all important announcements and conversations
+should still happen there.
