  <h4>Thank you so much for your support and being part of our community!</h4>

### What are the next steps?

Please help us figure out what happened so we can fix it!

1. Your post will be checked by one of our moderators. This will only take a few hours -- maybe less!
2. Then your post will be public and everyone can see and interact with it.
3. Now everything is done and you can be a real part of the great Public Lab community.

### Be a part of the community!

Here are a few ideas to be a part of these great community:

* **Join Open Call**<br />If you're interested in talking to others and brainstorming how to start a project or where to plug in on something ongoing, this is a great place to start. There is one every Tuesday at 7pm GMT.
* **Post an Issue Brief**<br />Is there an environmental issue you and your group are already thinking about locally? Posting an Issue Brief is a good way to get started sharing and engaging others on that issue.
* **Post a question**<br />Already have something in mind you'd like to ask and explore with others? The Q&A is a great easy way to get started sharing.
