Mini intros round!  
Briefly, into the core group: [Open Source Design core team](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/open-source-design-core-team/888)

### Finished and updates on AP’s from the last meeting:

- Sapatak is still working on a few PR’s and issues re repo merging and also redesign work.

- **Eriol:** Will set up an anon poll so everyone can choose what they would like to see funded and we can reconvene next month to see whether we are content with a majority vote or not! \< **DONE**

- **AP: Eriol** will look at the issues that already exist about web page design, job page improvements and then start to build a collaborative brief. **DONE**

### How to spend money

- Some votes on the poll and there was some clarification on the options that Eriol made edits to
- How long to keep it up? We loosely agreed another month and a half and review in August’s community call and September’s call can be the final one.
- There are a couple of spending options that are ‘time sensitive’ e.g. collaborating with outreach on a fellowship/internship but they do two rounds per year so we won’t miss out, just have more time to prep.
- Our money won’t disappear or be wasted if we don’t spend in a particular time frame so we can wait.
- Eriol fixed the poll link in Nextcloud (sorry it was not public!) [Vote on the poll by clicking here please!](https://cloud.opensourcedesign.net/apps/polls/s/D8mVWIz6qMXllkkw)  
**- AP: Eriol will create a discourse post for just the poll to vote on money spend and we could decide to tweet it too?**

### Repo stuff

- Eriol cleaned up some issues, closed some old ones, commented on some, added a couple of new issues, responded to comments and request to pick up issues and started creating epics for collections of issues (using Zenhub extension)
- lots of people want to pick up issues which is great! but we need more folks to lead on certain issues and tasks to guide and approve and review.
- Should we look at ‘recruiting’ more code-related helpers to review PR’s and other things that are more code based?

### Articles

- Eriol has written 3 articles so far which you can read here:
- Article wrap up from FOSS Backstage in [PR form here](https://github.com/opensourcedesign/opensourcedesign.github.io/pull/344) and the first on the [riseup document here](https://pad.riseup.net/p/Articles_for_OSD-keep)
- Mozfest 2021 UX Clinic wrap up second on the [riseup document here](https://pad.riseup.net/p/Articles_for_OSD-keep) (scroll down)
- An article about the history of open-source design in response to this issue (also on the riseup document)
- An outline of 'How to create a successful job on Open Source Design and get healthy contributions\*\*

### Jobs update

- Eriol has messaged ALL JOBS! this is all people that have ever posted a job on [opensourcedesign.net](http://opensourcedesign.net)
- See the google [spreadsheet here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HfSzHHVys3MTOrSMiqHCpVba0ojqVbHvs1dLaKwRLyI/edit?usp=sharing)
- All jobs authors that have not responded by _Saturday the 11th of July will be closed!_
- Eriol is working on the Jobs page epic [here](https://github.com/opensourcedesign/opensourcedesign.github.io/issues/323) via a Figma file [here](https://www.figma.com/file/Epo7gdfwJCDAVknWnpvfn1/Open-Source-Design?node-id=107%3A264) (which will eventually be migrated to our penpot.app open source design team).  
**- AP: Someone needs to check the [jobs repo listing that are ‘closed’](https://github.com/opensourcedesign/jobs/tree/master/jobs) match those [listed on our jobs page live.](https://opensourcedesign.net/jobs/)**  
**- AP: Eriol will migrate this google spreadsheet to the open-source design nextcloud account at some point soon.**
