| 18 | <r054l13> Rosalie since we are only 2 of us let not make it long :). what do you think? |
| 19 | 6:11 PM |
| 20 | <mahveotm_> mahveotm Sure! |
| 21 | 6:12 PM |
| 22 | <r054l13> Rosalie Frist point on Agenda is AWMD updates. The main update is that we have 2 core members who left the core team and we are currently looking for someone to fit in this roles |
| 23 | 6:14 PM I am talking here of Samuel and Derick. Samuel has a role at the Fundation which is mutually exclusive with his role in the core team. reason he had to step from core team to a normal member |
| 24 | 6:14 PM Foundation* |
| 25 | 6:15 PM |
| 26 | <mahveotm_> mahveotm Hi Rosie, thanks for the update! |
| 27 | 6:15 PM |
| 28 | <r054l13> Rosalie Derick has been cut of by a number of things to that made him step back. The good news is it will give room for new people to jusp in and learn while posibly sharing kknowledge aswwel |
| 29 | 6:16 PM |
| 30 | <mahveotm_> mahveotm OK, wow, this sounds great! |
| 31 | 6:16 PM |
| 32 | <r054l13> Rosalie sorry for the typos. my keyboard is :/ |
| 33 | 6:16 PM mahveotm_: Yeah!! |
| 34 | 6:16 PM |
| 35 | <mahveotm_> mahveotm But just to be clear, Derrick is still a member of AWMD right, just stepping back to handle some stuffs as you said. |
| 36 | 6:17 PM No problem about the typo! |
| 37 | 6:17 PM |
| 38 | <r054l13> Rosalie mahveotm_: Actually he left the project completely but we hope to have him back soon. |
| 39 | 6:19 PM The next point is Future of AWMD IRC meetings |
| 40 | 6:19 PM For some time now the core team has been trying to evaluate the cost/benefit of the monthly IRC meetings. |
| 41 | 6:20 PM |
| 42 | <mahveotm_> mahveotm I'm really surprise to hear about that. I'd contact him privately after this. It's sure going to be a huge loss! |
| 43 | 6:21 PM |
| 44 | <r054l13> Rosalie mahveotm_: Indeed :( |
| 45 | 6:21 PM |
| 46 | <mahveotm_> mahveotm OK sure, let's discuss that, IRC meetings attendance has been at an all time low! |
| 47 | 6:21 PM |
| 48 | <r054l13> Rosalie exactly |
| 49 | 6:21 PM |
| 50 | <mahveotm_> mahveotm Ow, please go ahead! |
| 51 | 6:22 PM |
| 52 | <r054l13> Rosalie The original idea behind this meetings was to help volunteer devs solve their problems trying to fix tasks |
| 53 | 6:23 PM but we realised that having agenda point for a meeting that is suppose to be like a remote hackathon, finally absorbs time and we end up not sharing much tech knowledge but mostly updates |
| 54 | 6:25 PM So we are thinking of changing the meeting formats and sharing what ever information should be shared, on the mailing list and not on meetings dedicated to debugging. |
| 55 | 6:25 PM mahveotm_: We made this survey. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSefxxpiyrMfqCRzfLyCyAmP6O3yDRTeuOBxampGNNpzL8gTmQ/viewform?usp=sf_link |
| 56 | 6:26 PM please feel it and share it with other AWMD members you know. The results of that survey will be very useful for our next moves |
| 57 | 6:27 PM |
| 58 | <mahveotm_> mahveotm Ok, I understand now, we intend to actually phase out meetings from this channel and dedicate it only to bug fixes, the rest should be done on the mailing list right? |
| 59 | 6:27 PM |
| 60 | <r054l13> Rosalie It takes less than 5 minutes to feel it as most questions are MCQs. Thanks |
| 61 | 6:27 PM |
| 62 | <mahveotm_> mahveotm Sure, would share with my team members! |
| 63 | 6:27 PM |
| 64 | <r054l13> Rosalie mahveotm_: exactly |
| 65 | 6:28 PM The last point on the agenda is Some opportunity anouncement |
| 66 | 6:30 PM Wikimedia DE is looking for a full stack developers. Since we are a community of devs. I thought this offer might interest someone here |
| 67 | 6:30 PM a developer* |
