+Online meetings
+---------------
+We have decided to start a reoccurring meeting for all interested TESPy users
+and (potential) developers. You are invited to join us on every 3rd Monday of a
+month at 17:00 CE(S)T. The first meeting will be held at June, 20, 2022.
+
+The intent of this meeting is to establish a more active and well connected
+network of TESPy users and developers. Participants will have a space to present
+and discuss their models, get help and exchange experience with others, learn
+about new features or suggest improvements or new features.
+
+The preliminary schedule is as follows:
+
+* 17:00 – 17:05: Short intro
+* 17:05 – 17:50: User presentations and discussion
+* 17:50 – 18:00: Break
+* 18:00 – 18:40: New feature presentation/discussion, tutorial session
+* 18:40 – 18:45: Feedback
+
+.. note::
+
+    The meetings will thrive through active participation. If you have
+    suggestions for topics - **from beginner tutorial to suggestion or**
+    **discussion of specific new features** - please let us know your interest
+    when registering to the meeting. We appreciate your contribution!
+
+To get a better overview on the number of participants and to plan the agenda
+of each meeting accordingly, **please send an e-mail to**
+**francesco.witte(at)dlr.de for registration**.
