No, you don't need to register for every event, once you registered for one event, you will get notification by email for all future events.

Usually, there is no moderator for the chat, if there is, it will be announced in the beginning of the session and if there is no announcement, it means you should not expect reply in the chat window, but you may get reply from people attending.
We didn't disable the chat for anyone, most people have no issue, try to reconnect, if it's still not working, there is no option to do from our side.

You need to learn what does it means to be a contributor and I am trying to help everyone here. There are only 3 ways to do that…..
-
If you don’t’ like anything, you see an improvement or you have a suggestion, just fork and do it in your repo then raise a PR (Pull Request).
-
If you don’t want to do it, just raise an issue/enhancement/bug, etc. on GitHub
It it’s not accepted without any comments, it means you failed to provide any value, therefore always do a PR which has small changes and learn how to provide values. Just think if you can really provide a value, no one will reject that value even if it’s very small but if your PR has many changes and the feedback will take longer time than to do the task, probably you will not receive a feedback. E.g. if you correct a spelling mistake in few words or fix broken links and raise a PR, no one will reject that 😊 So, again, always do a small PR and learn from the feedback from your mistakes.
You need to learn the culture of the community, some of that as the following:
- Honest and transparent
- Contributor vs. Consumer
- Initiative and Proactive vs. Reactive
- Actions vs. suggestions
- Deep reading and attention to details
- Do your homework first before asking for help or for more info
- Willing to help before seeking recognition
- Quality of contribution
- Willing and looking for feedback even if it’s not very good :-)
- Community only opens the door, you have to walk through it
You are only allowed to ask related questions to the discussed topics but if there is any time at the end and no related questions, you can ask any question.
