== Notes ==
=== Engagement hackefest ===
* Reviewing Engagement hackfest proposal for GUADEC
* People (?) are interested in workshop for their first code contribution, so they can use it for their own workshops
* Contribute to existing apps? Build new apps? Learn flatpak packaging?
* Maybe just pick one for now
* Maybe a few people could give a few different workshops
* ACTION: Nuritzi to add coding workshop content to the Engagement hackfest as a separate session: TODO
* Carlos, Bastian, Matthias, Philip Chimento, Rob Maqueen, Christian Hergert
* ACTION: Nuritzi to ask the above people if they could put together content for a hackfest: TODO
=== Press at conferences ===
* At GNOME Asia, somebody offered to write articles promoting it in India, but they would need travel sponsorship to attend
* We haven't sponsored a lot of press, but have done so sometimes in the past
* Should we try to make this a bigger, more official and documented, program?
* Have we measured impact of these past sponsorships?
* We don't normally measure impact, just monitor what they write
* This should probably be separate from the travel committee
* Requests would come from event organizers as a marketing resource
* Should be part of an event's budget request
* ACTION: [?] Request that conference organizers include press travel requests in their budget request: TODO
* ACTION: Nuritzi to ping David asking about he existing press travel request cases: TODO
=== GNOME Wiki project goals ===
* Proposing structural and design changes in our wiki
* It is currently difficult to get involved contributing here
* Create "portal" pages for each major section of the wiki
* What is the purpose of our wiki?
* Fedora's wiki isn't meant for user-facing documentation
* Is it just for us to collaborate, or is it for making content available to others?
* Judging by the content, it's user-facing documentation
* Should redefine what tools we have for user documentation
* We have the website which is specifically user facing
* If the website is easy now to contribute to, should use it instead of the wiki
* ACTION: Claudio to start filling out the project brief with specific goals and stakeholders: TODO
* Will check in again on this next week
=== Social media ===
* We should make sure that non-native English speakers use some process to help with copyediting posts
* It's been great to have the GNOME account retweet and like more posts, see more activity -- Oliver has been doing a great job at this
=== Engagement blog ===
* Has Gstreamer Hackfest post now
* Engagement blog should have more shorter updates and people-focused content
* Give perspective from people who attended events
* Should we promote hackfests in "official sounding" engagement blog posts?
=== Policy regarding news items ===
* Does it make sense to have author attribution on official news items?
* Other blogs with official news items make the author visible
* Not sure if this makes sense for the news blog, but this is already the case for the engagement blog
=== Possible upcoming interviews ===
* Sebastian about GStreamer Hackfest
* Oliver wants to interview a local contributor about THE GNOME Shell hackfest
* Link made a list of people we want to interview
* Want to remain focused on diversity in who we interview (it's been patreon-heavy recently)
=== GNOME Asia 2018 summit note ===
* Should issue #20 remain on the Social Media & PR section, or move it to GNOME Asia board?
* Keep it as is
