We’re building on that idea with a plan to host twice-a-year **GraphQL All-Hands** sessions. These gatherings will celebrate progress, share strategic updates, and foster open discussion. The next one will take place at [GraphQLConf 2025](https://graphql.org/conf/2025/) this fall! + +### **📊 Community Survey Discussion** + +Several Board and community members are exploring a user survey to help shape technical priorities, improve documentation, and inform event content. The Board discussed options to help the effort start small and release iteratively—stay tuned! + +### **💸 Budget & Membership** + +We're exploring aligning our fiscal planning with GraphQLConf to better match our annual rhythm. We also celebrated progress on new community grants! 🎉 + +### **🎤 GraphQLConf 2025** + +We’re expanding community involvement in the CFP process by becoming a **Subject Matter Expert**—we’re looking for volunteers to help rank talks for the conference program. Also, we're proud to support an [ALS charity swim team](https://graphql.org/blog/graphql-stream-team/) happening before the conference. The CFP closed **May 12**.
