 ## Meetings
 
-* Coming soon: macroexpand-communities - a gathering where representatives of Clojure communities (local and online) will share their experiences and future hopes, and initiate some work on common resources
+* Coming soon: macroexpand-3 - a gathering where representatives of Clojure communities (local and online) will share their experiences and future hopes, and initiate some work on common resources
+
+* Coming soon: macroexpand-2 - connecting Clojure data practitioners, startups, consultancies, and academics
 
 * May 17th 2025 - [macroexpand-1](https://scicloj.github.io/scinoj-light-1/sessions.html#macroexpand-1) (:movie_camera: [video]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TY6cJ8YiwU)) - part of the [SciNoj Light #1](https://scicloj.github.io/scinoj-light-1/) conference
 
 ## Background
 
 For the past few years, Scicloj has focused inward - building tools and libraries while growing our community through our [mentoring program](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/open-source-mentoring/) and other small group meetings.
 
-Now in 2025, we are also looking outward, seeking to bring Clojure to new fields and users. We have been busy creating [beginner-friendly tools](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDz1x2d65C0), running [workshops](https://bobkonf.de/2025/howe.html), organizing [meetings](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/events/) at the various [study groups](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/), writing [tutorials](https://scicloj.github.io/clojure-data-tutorials/), building a [starter toolkit](https://scicloj.github.io/noj/), and launching [a conference](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/scinoj-light/) for new data use cases.

-While Scicloj focuses on data science, we believe that growing Clojure as a whole helps everyone. Getting there will require looking and reflecting both inward and outward, and forming new collaborations around new ideas.
