Community Management and Collaboration

Coordinated by Dawn Foster.

• Processes - community communication channels, contributions and collaboration.
• Events - MeeGo Conference 2010, community involvement and more. Coordination: Amy Leeland.
• Metrics - data gathering and analysis, measurements of community health. Coordination: Dawn Foster. Volunteers: Randall Arnold/Texrat, Dave Neary/dneary, Henri Bergius/Bergie.

Goals and Focus Areas

2011 Objective: Get more people actively contributing to the MeeGo Community (code, application developers, documentation, community facilitation, other participation - technical and non-technical).

• 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.

Get Involved

Starting Points:

• Contributing to MeeGo
• Contribute code
• Community Office task list

Specific areas where we need help:

• MeeGo FAQ - We have a main FAQ and FAQs for specific topics, but they need a lot of work:
  • MeeGo FAQ - Add more details and additional questions
  • MeeGo Netbook FAQ - Needs a major overhaul after 1.1 release: updates and new questions. You can find many of the new questions by browsing the netbook forum and looking for popular threads (many views) and threads with many replies.
  • ARM FAQ - This FAQ is mostly empty and needs a lot of love now.
  • What else? What other FAQs do we need? - Please feel free to create other FAQ documents.
• Technical task lists - could we do something like this LibreOffice Easy Hacks page?
