We made no attempt to make the initial categories in the tekTavern forum all inclusive. We focus on those areas that we related to and anticipated popular interest. It is assumed that those working in medicine, particle physics, rocket science, chemistry, or microbiology would not be the first to sign up and there is the highest probably they already have more professional venues for collaboration.
It is perfectly feasible that tech subcommunities such as those in nursing, laboratories, biomed, communications, firefighting, police work, childcare, education, business, marketing, or a host of other professions could be the next to request a category and we will gladly accommodate them. We also did not make categories of particular industries such as automotive, automotive servicing, pest control, or landscaping though, again, we would not hesitate to create one if there was anyone who would request it.
When we choose to open this forum to ‘all tech’, we did so with intention. It is about honoring the way that we all serve one another. To honor what we all do.
