-- Contribute your ideas and favorite resources to **Better Scientific Software ([BSSw.io](https://bssw.io))**---a community-driven website with both original content and pointers to external resources focused on software development, productivity, and sustainability.  Contributions are welcome, and are as easy as a GitHub pull request!
+## Participate
 
-- Attend and collaborate to organize events, including the **[Best Practices for HPC Software Developers](https://ideas-productivity.org/events/hpc-best-practices-webinars/)** webinar series, and **[tutorials, minisymposia, poster sessions, and birds-of-a-feather sessions](https://ideas-productivity.org/events/)** at a wide range of conferences and other events, with many different ways to get involved. Email us to suggest a topic for the HPC Best Practices webinars or volunteer to give a webinar or partner with us in a tutorial.
+- Attend [events organized by the IDEAS team](/resources/events/#upcoming-events), including the **[Best Practices for HPC Software Developers](/resources/series/hpc-best-practices-webinars)** webinar series, **[Better Scientific Software tutorials](/resources/series/bssw-tutorials)**, or the other **[minisymposia, poster sessions, and birds-of-a-feather sessions](/resources/series/technical-sessions-and-meetings)** we organize at various conferences.
 
-- Consider partnering with a software community---either joining an existing Software Development Kit (SDK) or starting another SDK in an area of interest to you. 
+## Contribute
+
+- **Share your ideas and favorite resources for scientific software development, productivity, and sustainability** with Better Scientific Software ([BSSw.io](https://bssw.io)).  Its as easy as a GitHub pull request!
+
+- **Suggest a topic or a speaker (maybe yourself)** for the [Best Practices for HPC Software Developers](/resources/series/hpc-best-practices-webinars/) webinar series by sending us an [email](mailto:IDEASProductivity@gmail.com?subject=HPC-BP webinar suggestion).
+
+- We're always looking for collaborators to **co-organize [technical sessions](/resources/series/technical-sessions-and-meetings)** with. [Email us](mailto:IDEASProductivity@gmail.com?subject=technical session suggestion) if you're interested.
+
+- Apply to become a **[Better Scientific Software Fellow](https://bssw.io/pages/bssw-fellowship-program)** to foster and promote practices, processes, and tools to improve developer productivity and software sustainability of scientific codes.
+
+- Consider **partnering with a software community**---either joining an existing Software Development Kit (SDK) or starting another SDK in an area of interest to you. 
     - The **[Extreme-scale Scientific Software Development Kit (xSDK)](https://xsdk.info)** is a spin-off of the IDEAS project. Members of the xSDK community are working toward a community software ecosystem, including packages developed by diverse, independent teams.  If you develop a numerical software package, consider contributing.  Or have a look at the **[community policies](https://xsdk.info/policies/)** and consider starting another SDK in an area of interest to you.

-## How to participate throughout the community:
+Many communities are part of the effort to change the culture of scientific software development. Here are a few of the communities IDEAS has collaborated with over the years...
 
-- Get involved with the growing international community of **Research Software Engineers (RSEs)**, including [US-RSE](https://us-rse.org), the [Society of Research Software Engineering](https://society-rse.org), [DE-RSE](https://de-rse.org), and others. These groups are raising awareness of software’s vital role in research and advancing advocacy and resources for those who regularly use expertise in programming to advance research. 
+- Get involved with the growing number of professional associations for **research software engineers (RSEs)**. These groups are raising awareness of software’s vital role in research and advancing advocacy and resources for those who regularly use expertise in programming to advance research. If you're based in the U.S., check out [US-RSE](https://us-rse.org).  For RSE organizations in other countries, check out [Research Software Engineers International](https://researchsoftware.org/).
 
-- Check out resources and activities of the UK **[Software Sustainability Institute](https://www.software.ac.uk)**---an international leader in advancing software practices.
+- Check out resources and activities of the UK **[Software Sustainability Institute](https://www.software.ac.uk) (SSI)**---an international leader in advancing software practices.
 
 - Learn from and teach for **[The Carpentries](https://carpentries.org)**---organizers of **[Software Carpentry](https://software-carpentry.org)**, **[Data Carpentry](https://datacarpentry.org)**, **[Library Carpentry](https://librarycarpentry.org)**, and the inspiration for **[HPC Carpentry](http://www.hpc-carpentry.org)**. The Carpentries teach foundational coding and data science skills to researchers worldwide.
-
-- Read and contribute to **[Computational Science Stack Exchange](https://scicomp.stackexchange.com)**---a Q&A service that tends to be more towards methods than software per se, but many interested in IDEAS use the site and contribute.
 
-- Explore content at **[BSSw.io](https://bssw.io)**, which includes pointers to many other places to get involved in the community!
+- Participate in events such as the **[Collegeville Workshop Series on Scientific Software](https://collegeville.github.io/Workshops)**, the **[Software Engineering for Computational Science (SE4Science) Workshop Series](http://se4science.org/workshops/)**, the **[US-RSE Conference](https://us-rse.org/usrse23/)**, or the SSI's **[Collaborations Workshop](https://www.software.ac.uk/events-workshops-hub)** or other events.
