# May 5th 2021

Mini intros round!  
Briefly intro’d the core group: [Open Source Design core team](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/open-source-design-core-team/888)

## 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](https://github.com/opensourcedesign/opensourcedesign.github.io/issues/321) 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:**

- 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! 🤑️](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/lets-spend-some-money/2479)

## 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://cloud.opensourcedesign.net/) [Portknox - Nextcloud Hosting](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.
- For Nextcloud learnings: [Nextcloud latest user manual introduction — Nextcloud latest User Manual latest documentation](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/21/user_manual/en/) and [https://help.nextcloud.com/](https://help.nextcloud.com/)

## 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”.
- [Sign in to GitHub · GitHub](https://github.com/opensourcedesign/opensourcedesign.github.io/graphs/traffic)

- AP Eriol: Open up a dedicated forum thread about this analytics conversation. **\< DONE**
