@Ellie Kicked us off with an extensive introduction to the MetaEthnography project here:

> Hi everyone! I am a researcher at RMIT University (Melbourne, Australia). I work across RMIT’s [Digital Ethnography Research Centre](https://digital-ethnography.com/) and the [Blockchain Innovation Hub](https://rmitblockchain.io/). I’ve been collaborating with Zargham, Josh, Kelsie, Primavera, Campbell and others to design and implement the ‘[Blockchain Governance Observatory](https://www.rmit.edu.au/research/centres-collaborations/derc/cooperation-through-code/crypto-governance-observatory)’, which is the tool for ethnographic research via Discord. We designed it as a means to do ethnographic research that is consent-driven and participatory. Really looking forward to working…

More to come! We’re looking forward to learning with you!
