I don't think the fedora will use another form for meeting - whenisgood.net Try also to see the: https://apps.fedoraproject.org//calendar and promote your issue with fedora team design. First start at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_triage_design_team_tickets then take a look also at: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org to understaning how it's works. About badges this page will help you: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Open_Badges.
I hope my answer correctly guided you towards what you should know. This will greatly help in communication with the team fedora.
