Proposal for the Note taker role changes

To become a note taker, we propose a rule that requires participation in the Training Team Guide Program. This will ensure proper guidance for note takers and help reduce errors when publishing meeting notes. Additionally, we suggest setting the following limits:

  • You may apply as a note taker only once a month.
  • You can serve as a note taker a maximum of five times.

This will ensure new contributors to participate and experienced contributors to focus on other form of contributions like translation, providing feedback and content creation.

What are your thoughts on this proposal?

Proposal for old content translation issues

We will mark content translation issues created six months ago as “unplanned.” These issues will be closed, but if you’re still interested in working on them, you can reopen the issue and continue from where you left off.

What are your thoughts on this proposal?

Looking for volunteers

  • We’ve made significant progress on the thumbnail generator project, with most thumbnails successfully updated. However, a few content thumbnails still use outdated designs or don’t comply with our thumbnail generator guidelines. If you’re interested in volunteering for this task, simply leave a comment, and we’ll provide the necessary instructions to get started.

Updates from last week’s Triage Squad session

  • No meeting last week.

Other news

  • Based on community discussion, we have set a fixed time for coffee hour and it’s 13:00UTC every Saturday. Come and join us!
  • Remember, the Coffee Hour is just informal meeting. We are all there to make friends and talk about anything you like. You don’t need to prepare 🙂

  • @tacoverdo Yesterday, I learned that all speakers at Linux Foundation conference are required to take a short training about the importance of inclusivity. The course briefly touches on the most important topics related to inclusivity, such as unconscious bias and prejudices (link: https://training.linuxfoundation.org/training/inclusive-speaker-orientation/)
