DrupalCon New Orleans May 9 - 13, 2016
Still is looking for a new Sprint and Mentoring Lead:
https://twitter.com/yesct/status/603624443403964417
finalize the Mentoring Coordinator doc that describes what this person should do
Documentation
No Recent improvements, unfortunately.
What still needs improving:
@todo ryan How to become a mentor (https://www.drupal.org/node/2465619)
make a google doc (if not already), already listed on the issue
Proposed changes to MAINTAINERS.txt (https://www.drupal.org/node/2522716)
assigned to Dries
IRC check-in
July Wednesdays were slower than June (DrupalCon LA effect fading out, everyone on vacation)
We try to put more efforts on major triage, this works less effectively (less people) than the novice issue
but have 2 people (who use drupal professionally) to do major issue triage
We should continue to recruit people for major triage and do it during office hours
For novice issues, we can expand suggested tasks with Drupal 7 tasks that will help optimize d.o. for our needs.
Task for mentors: triage novice issues if core mentoring hours go slowly
Task for criticals: cooperate with @larowlan/@webchick
Spread the word
@todo kgoel will reach out to local sprints/camps
Common agreement: physical (better) or onlne presence component maintainers / core committers makes sprints much more effective.
We should try and reach to wider audiences (non-Drupal events)
* OSBridge
* Community Leadership Summit
* Cathy going to PHPWorld
other communities are interested in mentoring talks, talks about the mentoring process, organization, values, best practices
