# Getting Involved

\-          How do I get Involved?

There are different paths to engage and get involved. We encourage participation on the Working Groups as a way to foster collaboration. You can join an Orientation Call or ask for a 1-1 to get assistance.

\-          When is the Orientation Call?

The orientation call is hosted on discord every Thursday at 7PM CET/ 1PM EST, in our Community Voice Channel.

\-          I missed the Orientation Call, what should I do?

You can book a 1-1 with a member if your agenda is tight for joining a normal orientation call. Every Orientation call is very similar, what usually changes is the attendance and the questions that get answered. Also, you can find the recorded calls on our YouTube channel

\-          Where can I make a proposal?

We encourage people to get involved with the working group of their interest. Having a discussion with their members about your proposal is the first step.

\-          What kind of projects can apply to funding?

The TEC has opened funding proposal submissions for token engineering and related open-source projects focused on TE public goods. The projects that are most likely to qualify fall into three categories: open-source tools and research, education and token engineering narratives and outreach.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://token-engineering-commons.gitbook.io/tec-handbook/hatch-101/faq/getting-involved.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
