I want to encourage people around me to use it, but lack of localization is an issue. Is it on your roadmap? The service also looks like something the GNOME Foundation could more actively support.

I already expressed this concern earlier when this was discussed amongst the board and was told this would be taken into account, but I see this hasn’t been addressed so I’m raising it again. The amount of $50 can be a good indication of what organizers should aim for, but having already organized a number of small events I can tell this doesn’t work that well. Let’s take an example to illustrate this: I’m organizing a hackfest next month so I’m looking at having a social event for attendees. The page suggests buying pizzas and drinks, which sounds like a good plan. How far along can $50 get me? A look at menus show me that it’ll be over $10 per person. I expect something between 8 and 15 attendees, so this allocation will not be enough. Even taking a less ambitious goal with a past example of a release party, I paid a round of drinks but that wasn’t enough to cover all of it. So the threshold probably should be tied to the number of attendees. -- Alexandre Franke GNOME Hacker & Foundation Director ___ engagement-list mailing list engagement-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list

It was good because: * it was once a week, that’s often enough to keep informed but not too much so one manages to keep up with the amount of info * it was a one line summary for what could be several bug reports closed, or a huge amount of commits * that summary was high level and human readable The work involved reading commits-list, picking interesting bits manually and writing a good summary.

Engagement/TargetedEvents
Hello! This is a bit of a rant[^1] but more importantly a call to fix a problem that appeared recently. Let me start by commending the engagement team for the work that’s been done with the targeted events initiative. It is awesome to see coordination happening around that and how we can be more effective by making such strategic decisions. However, İ'm a bit sad about the wiki situation which is a bit of a mess. The main issue is that we already had the Events namespace and it is not being updated as part of the initiative. Whenever we do attend an event listed on the TargetedEvent main page, it should be added to the Events web page. * Engagement/TargetedEvents is difficult to get to by browsing links from the home page (and that is fine). It is a work document and not something we necessarily need to expose to the outside world more than it currently is. * Events is really easy to find (linked to from the Home page) and serves as our public archive. We should aim to make it comprehensive and accurate. It serves many purposes, like showing off how active we were, documenting what we actually did (handy when you write things such as the annual report) and have a reference for organizing other events later. Some time ago there was a huge amount of work to make the wiki tidy and this reorganization (led by Allan if memory serves me well) resulted amongst other things in the current form of the Home page. Let’s try and keep the wiki in a good shape! We need people to step up and volunteer with the following action items: ACTION: go through the list of events at https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TargetedEvents/2017 and make sure the status (attended, didn’t attend) is accurate ACTION: go through the list of events at https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TargetedEvents/2017 and make sure the ones e attended are reported back to https://wiki.gnome.org/Events ACTION: for each event of https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TargetedEvents/2017 that has a subpage in the TargetedEvents namespace (e.g. https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TargetedEvents/2017/OpenSourceBridge), move the page to the Events namespace if appropriate (with wiki redirection directive) This isn’t terribly complicated and mostly requires time to do it. Don’t let things like “I don’t know how to create a redirection” stop you, people can help you on the engagement channel.

New initiative proposal: October is the month we squash bugs
Hi, I've been meaning to push this for a while, but now seems to be the right time. # Why October? First of all because I thought it would be appropriate to *squash* things on halloween season. Apart from it making me giggle, I see a marketing opportunity here. [0] But more importantly the fact that it's right after the release actually makes it a good time to test stuff. With a fresh version out the door it's the best moment to check if old bug reports are still relevant, and doing it at the beginning of a development cycle ensures maintainers get a clearer picture of what needs to be done. # What is it? A two part event with the goal of cleaning up our bug tracker. ## Online The GNOME community tries to focus on bug triaging for a month. We can organize several sessions at specific time and dates to do it together for a few hours, but we can also do it individually on our own time. Of course we welcome newcomers and help them get involved. ## In real life We organize gatherings or workshops (known as bug squashing parties) where local free software community members are taught how to triage bugs. # Feedback welcome What do you people say? Do you think we should do it?

I've been a huge proponent of static site generators and the likes for the last ten years, but you may want to think twice about doing such a migration. Editing with Wordpress is quite easy: you log in to a Web interface, get a text area to write in, and then you click a button to publish. Many of the static engines require more technical knowledge and setup, often requiring cloning and pushing to a git clone. That probably will have an impact if you want to get newcomers to contribute. Wordpress also has an ACL implementation that allows roles to be attributed and permission to be more granular than just can or cannot publish stuff. Currently if you have access to one of our git repositories, you have access to all of them. Then there's the question of the migration path. Many engines have import machinery so that should be alright. We need to make sure it works though. We also need to pay attention to existing URL so that we don't break anything. > Obviously these are just random ideas and need a lot more thought. Maybe > they're interesting though?!

What can I do for GNOME?
Hi, During last GUADEC I spent some time chatting with Lasse Schuirmann about outreach and onboarding. Late at night on a couch we were looking at "whatcanido" websites and I bought whatcanidoforgnome.org where Lasse deployed a customized instance of the engine that's been created for Fedora [0]. Now the website works, but as far as I'm aware it's not been pushed as part of our outreach effort. Renewal time for the domain is soon coming so I have a simple question with two possible choices: what do I do with it? * We don't care, let it expire. * We want to keep it, offer to transfer it to the foundation (and then the board has to vote if they actually want to take it).
