Mini intros round!
Briefly intro’d the core group: Open Source Design core team
Jobs
-
Eriol is now gonna close jobs that haven’t responded to the emails re. jobs being closed
-
The github bug is becoming more of a problem: Bug when inputting GitHub handle (?) · Issue #321 · opensourcedesign/opensourcedesign.github.io · GitHub can we pay to have it fixed?
-
Is there an easier way to create job requests? Posting jobs is a bit hard for people still - Can we spend money improving it and making it easier?
-
The pull request after submitting the form is pretty invisible to the job poster.
-
Is there an open source job board tool?
-
We like that it opens a discourse post on the forum to build community.
-
We want for Jobs:
- Structure of a form.
- x-post to the forum
- Easy way to see status of job for poster of job.
- Easy way to update for the poster of job.
- Review stage for the job so that abuse is avoided.
-
AP: Eriol will make a github issue for the jobs page ‘wants’ and also make a discourse post < DONE
We could spend money on this to be improved! > Add to the spending money discourse thread: Let's spend some money! 🤑️
Nextcloud for OSD
- Core team have been talking about setting up a Nextcloud instance for OSD group
- We now have this! provided by Portknox: https://cloud.opensourcedesign.net/ https://portknox.net/en
- No sysadmin for this (woohoo)
- Jan C proposed: Start with the core and regular folk in OSD to get access to nextcloud.
- Eriol added proposed: on request of access to NextCloud.
- Migrate the job feedback form there that was previously hosted on Bernards instance.

Website updates
- No big updates, people are working on the things in previous meeting notes
- Core group discussed Matomo and analytics and metrics: Some differences in thoughts, Mention of for non-tracked, anon info. 'We would like to know info like ‘we had 600 visitors in May 2021 etc.’
- So maybe an “investigation into how we can get basic (to be defined) analytics…with the possibility (if people agree) to put into place basic metrics”.
