Welcome to the first Steemit Community Discussions Podcast!
This episode will be hosted and moderated by @krnel and @sirlunchthehost.
To learn more about what we are doing, please read below.
Purpose
I will take my description from Steemit Community Discussion 1 (2016-11-20) and add it here, as this podcast is a continuation of that goal in text format.
SCD is a place to share questions, concerns, issues, ideas and visions for where we each want to go on Steemit, and were we want Steemit to go. This will promote more clarity and cooperation through common understanding, helping us to see where we are all headed on Steemit, both individually and as a community. We can envision more ideas for the community and the platform going into the future.
There are two general categories of how to look at Steemit: Platform and Community.
Steemit Platform - The coding functionality that we are automatically functioning by.
Ideas for questions and discussion regarding functionality that's part of the code:
what works well, what doesn't work well, what would be good to change, why something should change, why something can't change, etc.
Steemit Community - The behavior of individuals and the overall community on Steemit.
Ideas for questions and discussion regarding how we make use of the functionality:
what we post, what we curate, what are we creating, what are we developing, where are we taking the community and platform, what direction are we headed
The previous questions could also apply here: what works well, what doesn't work well, what would be good to change, why something should change, why something can't change, etc.
Format
Anyone can come by to listen and/or join in the discussion. Valid objections and arguments are welcome, so long as they move things forward in understanding, not sideways or backwards. As such, trolls and abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
Questions and statements can be given to provide topics of discussion. Each topics can be discussed for a certain amount of time if there are more people who want to ask questions or talk about a subject. If a question or statement takes up too much time and prevents other people from engaging, moderators/hosts will move the conversation along to others. If no one else has anything to say, then the previous conversation can continue until someone does.
Don't mistake this for a "newbie hangout", if you are new to Steemit. We won't be guiding people through all the facets of Steemit.

It's unclear if this will be weekly, or more or less frequently at this point. Please engage with us, and provide us with feedback so we can improve what we are doing :) Additional hosts that we judge to align with our goals, can be added to hosting panels or replace other hosts who are busy.
Thanks for reading and providing us with your attention. Maybe this entices your attention enough to keep you paying attention to this podcast later, in which case we will "see" you there ;)
Peace.
