Notes

Engagement hackefest

  • Reviewing Engagement hackfest proposal for GUADEC
    • People (?) are interested in workshop for their first code contribution, so they can use it for their own workshops
      • Contribute to existing apps? Build new apps? Learn flatpak packaging?
        • Maybe just pick one for now
        • Maybe a few people could give a few different workshops
        • ACTION: Nuritzi to add coding workshop content to the Engagement hackfest as a separate session: TODO

          • Carlos, Bastian, Matthias, Philip Chimento, Rob Maqueen, Christian Hergert
          • ACTION: @Nuritzi to ask the above people if they could put together content for a hackfest: TODO

Press at conferences

  • At GNOME Asia, somebody offered to write articles promoting it in India, but they would need travel sponsorship to attend
    • We haven't sponsored a lot of press, but have done so sometimes in the past
    • Should we try to make this a bigger, more official and documented, program?
    • Have we measured impact of these past sponsorships?
    • We don't normally measure impact, just monitor what they write
    • This should probably be separate from the travel committee
      • Requests would come from event organizers as a marketing resource
      • Should be part of an event's budget request
    • ACTION: [?] Request that conference organizers include press travel requests in their budget request: TODO

    • ACTION: @Nuritzi to ping David asking about he existing press travel request cases: TODO

GNOME Wiki project goals

  • Proposing structural and design changes in our wiki
  • It is currently difficult to get involved contributing here
  • Create "portal" pages for each major section of the wiki
  • Claudio and Nuritzi started a project brief https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HF1U_XUdjz8Ade3wAEfNrR7IgDqsZYIQiKiOCcIBoSE/edit

  • What is the purpose of our wiki?
    • Fedora's wiki isn't meant for user-facing documentation
    • Is it just for us to collaborate, or is it for making content available to others?
      • Judging by the content, it's user-facing documentation
  • Should redefine what tools we have for user documentation
    • We have the website which is specifically user facing
    • If the website is easy now to contribute to, should use it instead of the wiki
  • ACTION: @Claudio to start filling out the project brief with specific goals and stakeholders: TODO

  • Will check in again on this next week

Social media

  • We should make sure that non-native English speakers use some process to help with copyediting posts
  • It's been great to have the GNOME account retweet and like more posts, see more activity -- Oliver has been doing a great job at this

Engagement blog

  • Has GStreamer Hackfest post now
  • Engagement blog should have more shorter updates and people-focused content
    • Give perspective from people who attended events
  • Should we promote hackfests in "official sounding" engagement blog posts?

Policy regarding news items

  • Does it make sense to have author attribution on official news items?
  • Other blogs with official news items make the author visible
  • Not sure if this makes sense for the news blog, but this is already the case for the engagement blog

Possible upcoming interviews

  • Sebastian about GStreamer Hackfest
  • Oliver wants to interview a local contributor about THE GNOME Shell hackfest
  • Link made a list of people we want to interview
    • Want to remain focused on diversity in who we interview (it's been patreon-heavy recently)

GNOME Asia 2018 summit note

  • Should issue #20 remain on the Social Media & PR section, or move it to GNOME Asia board?

  • Keep it as is
