Hi Mirko, Well, I remember that when we started training, we had quite some momentum, but when we put up too many rules, that killed the buzz. So, we moved to the total opposite (giving anyone with Apache commit rights in any project, to also have commit rights here). Unfortuantely we never managed to get the drive back. So not 100% sure, if we concentrated on OKRs, still someone would have to do the work. So not quite sure how OKRs would help here?
Thing is, we need to get the community engaged again ... but community building is hard work (harder than coding) ... guess we’d need people willing to put in the effort.

Since I am not sure if this is a way how ASF projects typically work I decided to give it a try. At least on my personal level it makes things easier, so I thought, for others it could work as well. I added my first OKR draft to this email. Please let me know what you think. Cheers, Mirko O1 We improve community participation to get ready for continuous colaboration on training material. KR1 We conducted a monthly session (30 min, recorded) to clarify issues and prep next steps. KR2 We have selected an approach to manage community related events. KR3 We have documented and used a slim process for content contribution. O2 We work continuously on our strategy. KR1 Each contributor has shared its own vision document which describes how he envisions the future of Apache Training and his personal contributions. KR2 We have conducted a brain-storming session using MIRO to create a project vision board. KR3 We have integrated all contributions regarding the project's vision and its future strategy and updated the webpage accordingly. O3 We actively integrate our activities with other Apache projects. KR1 We have a standardized interview sheet for collecting information about other projects and how they see Apache Training. KR2 We have interviewed members of 5 ASF projects. KR3 We extracted our learnings about next collaboration steps from interview results. KR4 We have published our findings in a blog. O4 We provide a standardized approach for training artefact creation. KR1 We have a template for presentations. KR2 We have a template for tutorials / workshop sessions
