Marketing Team
Current Status
We recently had a meeting after not having one for quiet some time. Minutes located here. With the recent departure of @garbas as team lead and a lack of meetings in the past several months we are resetting. We are going to determine ownership and roles. We did not come to hard decisions on roles and ownership in the past meeting; I am hopeful that we can next week.
People
- @avocadoom has been doing an amazing job maintaining the website in the interim.
- I know many other people have contributed the website. I’ve seen the PRs. Thank you!
- @idabzo had been handling the socials but had to step away for personal reasons months ago. However, she may be able to return soon.
Blockers or Challenges
Other than what was mentioned in the status we need to refresh the contribution guide for the website. We need a good path for people to contribute successfully but also a painless way for maintainers to say “no” gracefully to suggestions or PRs that are out of or beyond the scope of what the team has planned. We have ideas. More updates to come soon.
Upcoming Topics or Projects
Will have a better idea after the next 1 or 2 meetings.
Budget Issues
We have well-established members of the marketing team that have been finding it more and more difficult to devote substantial amounts of time and have been experiencing burn out. It would be beneficial to the ongoing efforts of the team if we could fund 1-1.5 persons. I don’t have solid estimate of what that looks like in Euros but hopefully will have a good number after the next 1 to 2 meetings.
Other
Can we get a private matrix room for the marketing team?
