Mission
The Community Office (CO) defines and implements the strategy for community collaboration and project promotion.
The work of the CO is organized at the meego-community mailing list.
Structure
Coordination
The goals of the Community Office coordination are:
- Overall guidance on tasks and priorities.
- Decision-making, when needed.
- Appointments within the Community Office.
- Connection with the MeeGo Technical Steering Group (TSG).
The coordinators are appointed by the TSG:
- Dawn Foster, since March 24, 2010. MeeGo community manager employed by Intel.
- Quim Gil, since March 24, 2010. MeeGo advocate, employed by Nokia.
Community Management and Collaboration
Coordinated by Dawn Foster
Focus for 2011
2011 Objective: Get more people actively contributing to the MeeGo Community (code, documentation, other).
- Measured by increases in active community members (see Metrics)
- Programs and Plans to support this objective:
- Community device program - provide devices to people who will use them to build something amazing.
- Events - focus on MeeGo conference events with ample collaboration activities (marketing team will likely focus on other events to raise project visibility)
- Collaboration improvements - build on the wave of collaboration and contribution improvements over the past couple of months to figure out how we can help encourage more people to actively contribute to MeeGo.
- Automated Metrics - dashboard to provide additional visibility into individual contributions to MeeGo and make it easier to gather monthly metrics.
Project Marketing and Promotion
Coordinated by Quim Gil
- meego.com content - homepage, announcements, background info, media kit.
- Promotion - merchandising, grassroots campaigns, open source advocacy.
- Events - sponsoring events, supporting speakers and more.
More at Marketing
Neighborhood
Related areas outside of the Community Office:
- Web infrastructure
- Trademark - definition, legal aspects, abuse. Ibrahim Haddad.
- Brand - Logotype, guidelines, characters. Claire Alexandre.
- Compliance - OS & application compliance program. Mark Skarpness.
Process
Meetings
Logistics for bi-weekly Community Office meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. This meeting is open to anyone who wants to attend and contribute.
The purpose of this meeting is to coordinate tasks by moving proposed tasks to committed tasks with clear owners and prioritization. We hope that this meeting will make it easier for us to get more organized about how we accomplish work in the CO, and avoid the duplicated / wasted effort that we have been seeing at least in these early days of the project while we merge the two communities.
Tasks
Work and tasks will be broken down into Committed Tasks and Proposed Tasks.
Committed tasks will have a clear owner and have been approved in a Community Office meeting. The list of committed tasks may also include prioritization to make sure that we are working actively on the most important tasks.
Proposed tasks include all other work that we would someday like to do, but that has not yet been approved by the CO. Anyone can add a proposed task to this page. If you have a proposed topic that you are ready to start working on, please put together a proposal and request a spot on an upcoming Community Office meeting agenda.
Regular Ongoing Tasks
Committed Tasks
Our backlog. Every task must point to a bug report and/or a wiki page describing the task, where to help and the progress. One coordinator is assigned to each task but more people might be involved (check the link).

Basic rule of prioritization: every coordinator gets one task prioritized before a second task from a same coordinator.
Examples:
- CORRECT: 1 Mary - 2 John - 3 Mary
- WRONG: 1 Mary - 2 Mary - 3 John
Proposed Tasks: not committed yet

Tasks completed
- registration and proposal submission should be live first week of August
Tasks dropped
- 2010-05-04 - MeeGo presentations, processes and other internal materials published. Quim Gil
- Chasing the TSG but it's a slow task since it requires discussion from the future roles and the people actually assuming the software development responsibilities. I feel this is going well over my head. I am pushing, but I'm not the actual re3spoble. The TSG is. Proposing to drop this task from my list.--Qgil 13:00, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- 2010-06-15 - Ask Nokia to modify licence on Maemo documentation to CC BY 3.0 + BSD for code samples, to allow reuse of relevant parts in MeeGo documentation
- Quim says "if something is 100% produced by Nokia and useful to MeeGo, copy it over." The general opinion (Quim, Tero) is that not much Maemo documentation is useful for MeeGo.
- MeeGo Compliance Program - Mark Skarpness
