We did an ad-hoc flexi meeting between 19.30 CEST and 20.30 CEST
People that were there at some point during that time frame were:
- evalica
- Jan C
- amit.lzkpa
- erioldoesdesign
- ei8fdb
Here are the notes I took as we went 
Open Source Design 6/04/2020
Website needs
-
Moving events repo has been merged
-
New design mock-ups via Elio < Are these anywhere on the forum?
- (Not a huge re-design, proposed a colour and fixing the spacing etc.)
-
Manifesto should go immediately on the front page - not in a sub page, too many already and too complex.
- Mray - still waiting for them to add their comments in the pull request version of the manifesto.
- It’s in a sub-page but not a very prominent link.
- Goals page is kind of a duplicate of manifesto
- We could do generally with a content audit, different pieces written by different people at different times. Things are disjointed and very hard to connect up.
- Manifesto is most up to date so make that front and centre and work in the older content from goals and how we achieve.
- Eva: At least the 8 points, not before articles + job because they are more dynamic and change
- Blender homepage, first-timer and a community member differences.
- Jobs could be more call to action-y need help or contribute help.
- Articles: Collecting a whole bunch of articles about design + OSS. How do I format this bibliography. Article writing is a lot of work and there is more about OSS+Design than ‘us as OSD’ lets push other content. Let’s not have it look stale. Sort by date or source. Articles look like events!
-
Clone the git protocol instead of the https < setup script needs update. We could update it. We can do this/make this better. Permissions need reviewing.
-
Terminology conversations are a bit bike-sheddy and we have them semi-regularly but shrug, it’ll just happen so we roll with it yo.
-
AP: Eriol to create a new forum thread for conversations around what to merge/change/reorder

OSD Summit
- Depending on what we do could it happen in October!? Especially if it piggy backs content from Openup.global
- Need volunteers to help run rooms/talks etc.
- Not huge amounts of people attended (12 in Berlin, 40ish in Tirana)
- Funding do we need it? Are we there yet? Have this as a goal fo the further future
- Amit’s company could open up licensing 3D in browser. < Digital swag bag.
Sponsorship re. Open Collective re. Casinos
- No reply yet better to put into their repo via a GitHub issue and/or their twitter.
- Not a big problem because they’re making money but it’ll look poor if they don’t at least try to solve it.
