+# [Panel] Improving the Emacs Community: Onboarding, Participation, and Growth
+
+Participants
+
+ **Panel members are being finalized**
+
+[[!inline pages="internal(2026/info/community-before)" raw="yes"]]
+
+The discussion idea was born from perpetual Sacha's interest in
+making Emacs community a better place.
+
+GNU Emacs and the community around it has no shortage of history.
+However, different groups of Emacs users prefer using different media
+to communicate - between the traditional mailing lists to newer
+international platforms like YouTube, or country-specific forums.
+Here, we would like to bring Emacs users representing various
+sub-communities together, so that we can learn from each other and
+hopefully come up with new ideas.
+
+Questions:
+
+1. What made you start using Emacs, and what kept you using it?
+
+2. What took you from using Emacs to actively contributing to the
+   community - participating in forums, writing Elisp, organizing
+   meetups, answering questions?
+
+3. How does Emacs show up for you in real life - colleagues, meetups,
+   friends? How did those connections form?
+
+4. If you know other software communities, what's one thing Emacs could
+   learn from them?
+
+5. What's one concrete thing you wish existed in the Emacs community a
+   year from now?
+
+**Note that you can ask other questions not limited to the above
+during public Q&A session after the panel discussion**
