Notes from 07/10/2020 OSD meeting at 17.00 GMT // 19.00 CEST

Mergin Repos

  • We probably still need to merge the talks repo into the main. Maybe we can merge the talks repos and presentation folder.
  • The others apart from jobs are not really connected.
  • Saptak will create an issue about it.
  • How do we want to maintain the fonts repo, etc. ? As a resource maybe.

FOSDEM 2021

  • Eriol: Sent an email to FOSDEM, they said to wait for now
  • Probably can still start planning about the talk proposals?
  • Will FOSDEM decide to have booths / exhibition? If so how do we do?
  • Do we do UX clinic? If so, how? Maybe assign one person to every projects which signup
  • Eriol: UX clinic in-person was also a bit difficult so we need to figure online
  • Eriol: We can ask people to send in ideas about what they want to talk and if they would be interested in an open source design track but if we don’t get room, then it’s a bit weird
  • Jan: We can probably wait to hear from FOSDEM, we have a checklist and we can act quickly.
  • Eriol: CFP happens very quickly when it’s virtual, so difficult to prepare in that short time.
  • Amit: Do we have pre-recorded talks or live talks? Do we have a preference?
  • A live Q&A makes things a lot more interactive.
  • We can check with speakers what they are comfortable with and maybe can do a mix?
  • Eriol: Can try to email back and ask generally what platforms they are considering.

Twitter

  • Amit should now have access to tweetdeck

Partnership in 2nd week of Feb for Interactive London Conference.

Somebody from Google has nominated OSD as a partner of sort in All Things Open. Eriol and Abigail are doing workshops on how to communicate with designers and also how to receive their first design contribution.
