# March 03 2021

Mini intros round! for new people 🙂

**Jobs page update**

- Eriol has been doing some ‘clean up’ of the jobs postings. Emailing people from the most recent years to the older years.
- [Saptak’s fix for the margins and views was merged!](https://github.com/opensourcedesign/opensourcedesign.github.io/pull/320)
- [Juhan’s opened a new issue re. github submission error.](https://github.com/opensourcedesign/opensourcedesign.github.io/issues/321)
- Figma: [Figma](https://www.figma.com/file/Epo7gdfwJCDAVknWnpvfn1/Open-Source-Design?node-id=107%3A263) Started a jobs page layout design file jump in and help design the jobs page!

**Some ideas for the jobs page improvements:**

- 
  1. Many projects give emails or issue links/repos but plenty of designers still reply to forum threads wanting to contribute. We need a clear and single way for designers to start the job process and it needs to be super clear for the job poster that they need to engage in X way with designers.

- 
  1. We could encourage a discourse forum post immediately after the job post PR is accepted to get better responses.

- 
  1. Deadlines are really useful for our own admin purposes. Some job posts have them included but I think it’d be good to ask job posters for an idea of deadline.

- 
  1. We could also be: Keep for X weeks or so. Does not need to be called deadline

- 
  1. Or “Receiving submissions/applications until”

- 
  1. Categories for the jobs posting form and forum

- 
  1. Support to write your design needs via a call @scottjenson suggested this.

- 
  1. ‘I’m a designer that can do X,Y and Z. Contact me to ask for help’. Create a profile from scratch? do we help designers make a github profile.

- Could we pay someone to do some of what we want to happen across [OSD.net](http://OSD.net) and the jobs page?

~~AP: Eriol to start a new thread on forum to gather jobs page ideas and work.~~ DONE

**Questions?**

- How do we deal with deadlines that have past?
- Is the job board successful?
- Shall we do an article for the successful jobs postings from over the years?
- How can we push forward @Kai 's showcase design for homepage?
- AP: Eriol can start to collect the successful projects and doing writing.
- Closed successfully or closed unsuccessfully?
- Do we want to assign metrics/analytics?
- Do we want to think about matomo? Hosting and privacy investigation needed.
- Sorting the job forum posts via views most?
- Why are visuals/logos etc ‘easier’ to fill? or filled more?
- Collect opinions of designers that have contributed and ones that haven’t.

## Conferences

**FOSDEM 2021**

- Open Action: Someone can do a round-up article/page of FOSDEM 2021
- AP Eriol: Check videos are all online and approved
