Community Office/Meetings/Brainstorming 12-7-10

Revision as of 18:28, 2 December 2010

Reminder: Community Office Goals for 2011

• Get more people actively contributing to the MeeGo Community (code, application developers, documentation, community facilitation, other participation - technical and non-technical) - more details
• Better marketing and promotion of MeeGo - more details

How can we make the community office meetings more productive / useful?

• So far, I don't think we're really accomplishing much in these meetings. How do we use this meeting to accomplish our goals (see above)? --Dawnfoster 16:42, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
• Due to conflicts with my day job, I have only been able to attend 2 meetings but want to attend more. I would like to see a unique approach taken to meetings, where they could possibly run 24 hours with handoff of moderation between coordinators in different timezones. This could be challenging but still possible I think.--Texrat 18:28, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
• We need to focus more on root cause issues during meetings so has to have greater impact. Too often it's easy to get bogged down on symptoms rather than causes. One specific example relevant to the marketing bullet point: many of us have asked for clarification on branding/identity issues with no response and/or no resolution. We need the owners of activities to be present so that root cause issues can be properly addressed, resolved and communicated. --Texrat 18:28, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Community Office task lists - what works / what doesn't?

• The idea behind creating proposed / committed task lists was to avoid duplication (multiple people working separately on the same projects) and get more people working on tasks that we needed to complete, but it seems to have just created a barrier to participation. I was hoping that the task lists would give people tangible things to work on, but other people aren't really volunteering to take on new tasks. Should we scrap this whole idea and do something completely different? Should we take what we have and make some changes? --Dawnfoster 16:42, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

How can we get more people contributing to the MeeGo project?

• We have a Contributing to MeeGo document and the CO task list but they don't seem to be helping much. What else can we do to get more people involved? Do we need better incentives (what kind)? --Dawnfoster 16:42, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
