Notes

  • Community contribution process: how to improve it, share the responsibility of it, and feel good about it, all in the hopes of avoiding avoiding burnout (@Heather Greer Klein) -- the conversation continues

    • See last weeks notes for more context

    • Draft Working Group charter: Hyrax Development Support & Engagement Working Group (working title)

      • attempt to address 4 main issues listed in the draft charter

      • Heather is offering to facilitate, not as a matter of course on working groups, but since she's relatively impartial and it will be a good way for her to familiarize herself more with working groups.

      • This draft is well-received.

      • Can we shorten the timeline?

        • Let's adjust the timeline on a per-deliverable basis; some can definitely happen faster

      • The evaluation / recommendations deliverables will likely examine structure contributors to these issues

      • Group members should probably look at the white paper about hyrax (proposing new formal roles) where some of these issues were highlighted (TODO: add link)

      • May need more info re: how often the group will meet / how much time a participant would be expected to contribute in order to assess ability to participate.

        • The group may be able to organize a lot of the work asynchronously and rely on monthly meetings after ramping up

      • Next steps: Heather will revise timeline, meetings, ask for input from Jeremy and tamsin, and then post to the list ASAP to solicit members.

    • Do we have any updates from the Hyrax maintenance working group that relate to this topic?

      • In an organization phase; there are a lot of outstanding issues

      • Working on testing, setups can be challenging

  • Next time:

    • Moderator: @Lynette Rayle

    • Notetaker: @Jeremy Friesen

  • Help requests
