G’day! A group of us based in Australia (@dougiesquire @DamienIrving @Thomas_Moore) are interested in starting up semi-regular Pangeo meetings at an Antipodean (Australian/New Zealand) friendly time zone.

Question for the Pangeo forum managers (@rabernat and others?): would it be possible/make sense for us to get a category tag on this discourse forum to announce our upcoming meetings/events and post Antipodean-related content?

Thanks @rabernat! Perhaps “AU/NZ”?

I’m thinking **“Oceania”**! (says the oceanographer) 👼  
Thanks @rabernat

@rabernat - we’ve settled on “Pangeo Oceania”. Not to add to your list of todo’s but if we could get a **Pangeo Oceania** category setup (or the permissions to do so) that would be fabulous.

Great! Your category is [Oceania - Pangeo](https://discourse.pangeo.io/c/regions/oceania/21)

Unfortunately our account doesn’t allow us to add more admins without upgrading and paying a lot more. But hopefully you can do what you need from “user space”. If this becomes an issue we can revisit it.
