Review goals for 2020

• Populate Roadmaps Alignment document

• Community Manager onboarding and facilitation

• Codify PO process

Kate

• Keep populating the roadmaps alignment document

  • Getting Heather's help—how can we reach out to community, make sure everyone knows where to look for information and how to present their own information

• Onboarding facilitation

  • Anything we can provide to Heather

• Codifying the new PO process

• New Valkyrie PO

• Code Reclamation Project

  • Trying to solve 2 essential problems

    • Many devs who have trouble interacting with the stack

      • But once your get your first PR approved, then the scond comes easy

    • Applications in the wild will fully-formed features that are functioning that everyone wants and can't get, for whatever reason

      • There's a group in the community that are contributing back and being upfront, others have realities such as time, budget etc. and don't contribute code and features back

  • Taking those two problems, and try to make a solution that tackles both of them

  • Get mentors, look for people who want to contribute cross-institution, pair them up together, and have them go bring in features from another application

  • This will distribute the load

    • DOI implementations as a great example—lots of them out there

    • Next time someone needs DOI, do this and make it a gem for the community — that's the goal

  • You need a first follower for things to get traction

  • Need to get a sign-up form out, and do it very low-key initially

  • Rob: we need a logo, and then we do t-shirts for people who sign up

  • There's a document somewhere about this that Rob can find and provide
