This meeting will be taking place on Wednesday of this week.
The draft agenda is:
Discuss onboarding and supporting new developers
Friendly Space / Code of Conduct
Volunteer roles
More ideas for encouraging developer retention by in-person action?
Any volunteers (2 ideally!) to help take notes during the opening session of what was pitched so that we can put it on the wiki straight away?
Q&A
Blog post
Spreadsheet of newcomers names / notes / said hi

We had this meeting on May 10th. It went well :)

People who have volunteered to help take notes during the opening and closing: @CKoerner_WMF, @Aklapper, @Trizek-WMF & @Quiddity

@srishakatux, @CKoerner_WMF & @MelodyKramer will help with blog posts

@Trizek-WMF, @srishakatux & @CKoerner_WMF will make social media posts in collaboration with WMAT throughout the event

Everyone will make a big effort to support and help newcomers to the event. I am keeping this task open for now

Hey, just pointing out the obvious, so that the info is right at hand here, too:

The first part of the Mentoring Program (which is one of the new approaches we're trying out this year) will be an introductory session, where all newcomers can meet their mentors for the weekend, and where mentors pitch their project ideas. If all goes according to plan, we will have all newcomers in one place (Friday 11.30-13.30 in room Wiaschtl)
So far we have Claudia and me from WMAT and Jean-Fred as a volunteer in the team to lead the session. It would be very valuable in our opinion to have some faces from the WMF there, too! We think this would be a great opportunity. Thinking especially of @Quiddity here :)
