• Populate Roadmaps Alignment document
• Community Manager onboarding and facilitation
• Codify PO process
• New Valkyrie PO
• Code Reclamation Project advancement

• 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

• The email has not gone out yet
• Order of operations:
  • Send out the email
  • Check in with Richard
  • Do the name changes on the wiki
• Rob will send out the email ASAP
