View source for Drumbeat/projectproducing

== Scope ==
=== intake ===
* Helping users set up drumbeat projects on Batucade
* Alerting potential project creators as to our value proposition and how we can help

=== support ===
* Helping projects realize their potential by sharpening their focus, bringing in external resources and providing mentorship

=== enabling self service ===
* providing the "content" for Batacuda that will give project producers the tools they need to improve their projects on their own


== Recommendations ==
* focus less on intake, more on self service
    ** drumbeat in 2011 should still be about helping a thousand open web projects bloom.  We need this to be low touch

* Open up Matt's time to work on self service.  Currently he is too hands on with the 3 existing projects

* Henrik, Matt + Brett should focus on a small group of projects/areas of focus that they want to push forward for 2011, rather than service whatever moves through the cue/funnel
    ** Brett will focus on web made movies and its spinoffs till at least Q2 2011

* we should think in terms of 1/4s - given that Drumbeat is so new, we need to be agile

* use community calls better
    ** they should be training opportunities around how to work the "mozilla way", ie work with projects beforehand to narrow the scope of their asks, "file bugs" that have a greater chance of being responded to, creating roadmaps, fundraising ideas.  Rather than discussions, they should be focused sprints
