• http://twiki.osafoundation.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/TempCommunityDocs

Discussion

Big-picture things:

• What does success look like?
• What level of investment in community do we make?
• What are the risks to a particular plan?
• Process and results goals are different.

Community Working Group Goals

Proposed process goals:

• Get community docs in better shape and thoroughly discussed by OSAF staff. (Ducky, Mitchell)
• Outreach to Python community re repository in DC, Bay Area, and Seattle:
  • Host one SF area Chandler developers event (e.g. Sprint, developer day, etc). (Pieter)
  • Outreach to the Seattle area Python Users Group (Ted).
  • One person from OSAF to each of the Bay Area UGs at least once and evaluate them (usually Ducky).
  • One person from OSAF attending Baypiggies regularly (Ducky, maybe Katie, maybe others).

• Document legal process for contributing code. (Mitchell)
• Document technical process for committing code. (Ducky, Heikki?)
• Lead all-hands discussion about what "success" in the community means. (Mitchell, all)
• Lead working group discussions about what "success" means. (Mitchell, all)
• Process for granting CVS write access (might not be 0.4 timeframe).
• Assist other working groups in developing and implementing community goals

Proposed results goals:

• One or two people doing QA stuff.
• One or two people working on the repository.
• Tangible contribution from volunteers resulting from process goals.
• Develop nascent longer-term community plan (e.g. when do we need user testing?).

Note that some of the community group goals could easily be reassigned to be "Repository Group" goals.
