Notes from call on the 3rd of December 2025
Several new people, I think. Also, I had computer trouble so I missed the beginning. Dear new people (if you read this), thanks for joining!
Website:
Lisa, Julia and Jan reported on the progess with the website:
- Going through github issues
- Creating a first webpage prototype
- Running jekyll, so one can try to create ones own prototype (or play with our current website)
- Comments:
- It would be potentially useful to have a search (@jdittrich agrees, it is probably difficult with a static site, except when using an external service)
- Current website has multiple calls of action; its good that the box in Lisas prototype serves as a call for action: Here is things to learn about… here…
- The website should have a “who we are”, to make sure it is not just seen as a "general explanation of design in FOSS). The current text on our site is not bad.
- The homepage should fulfil two needs: 1) Knowing what is this? (i.e. what OSD is) And 2) “go here to…” (learn, participate)
- Process being very slow, we should be more proactive. The worst thing would be rolling back a change
FOSSDEM
- Talk reviews in progress
- Canonical at FOSDEM
- Reminders: Review last month for FOSDEM needs (volunteers!) and other Conferences: FOSS Backstage, FOSSY, All things open
