| 30min | Roadmap Discussion | Ildiko, Lucas | - As the Contributor Guide is coming together it is time to look beyond and identify further activities to plan with
- Community entry points
- How to make the technical documentation more available for non-developers?
- Ildiko got feedback about the deployment docs that they seem to be very developer focused and it makes them hard to follow on occasion
- Entry points to the community and starting points for someone who is not a developer are hard to find
- Attracting new contributors and increase retention
- Contributor attribution related ideas
- Badging system
- ie: Badge for the first PR
- Reward system?
- Giving out swag items like stickers or t-shirts
- Metrics
- Need to decide what metrics to keep in mind and monitor, if any
- Look into pain points and difficulties that contributors face to make improvements
- Contributor groups
- Developers and non-developers
- What entry points they might be looking into and what obstacles they face
- → Need to look into the processes and make sure that they are documented
- Where to start to contribute?
- Increase contributor base
- Universities have programs for students to work on open source projects
- Look into other telecom related
- Documentation!!
- How to help the community to ensure to have documentation beyond developer resources
- War stories as examples of challenges and how to overcome them
- (More) Content on the blog
- → Need to ensure that the process to contribute blog posts is clear and well documented!
- Can provide content ideas in the guidelines as well, ie: a new release should get a new blog post on the Magma blog
- How to help authors with reviews, polishing out the text, etc?
- Guidelines should contain information about what topics to cover and what topics do not fit on the blog
- Look for volunteers who would help authors with less experience in writing to reduce the barrier for this kind of contribution
- Additional help could include: Interview kind of setup can also work, if someone has an idea, but has difficulties to write it down
- Sync with Kader to see what he's been learning from the 5G intro session series that he's been organizing
