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
