There are several [//hangouts.google.com '''Google Hangouts'''] for NY. Any editor is welcome at any of these. Their purpose is not to exclude, rather to make discussion easier to follow. Click the links below to join the respective Hangout using your Google account.
We used to use Google Hangouts heavily in this region for real time communication. We have since transitioned to the Discord platform discussed above due to its many more features, and technical limitations of the Google Hangouts platform.


Statewide Hangouts:
