Evolving Webmaker Community Calls (Matt) (10 mins)
TLDR: these Webmaker Community calls are growing and evolving.
How do we scale up for success?
Need your ideas for optimizing these calls in 2013 --
in terms of audience, infrastructure and content- 1) AUDIENCE. Who are Webmaker community calls for?
- Webmaker has three core audiences:
- 1) MAKERS
- 2) MENTORS
- 3) BUILDERS (the community building Webmaker)
- These calls are primarily intended for BUILDERS and MENTORS
- There are lots of individual *team* calls for builders (product team, badges, engagement & comms, etc.) Listed here: <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmakers/Project_Community_Calls">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmakers/Project_Community_Calls</a>
- But this is the only *60 min* each week where we're *all* together
- Q: What do BUILDERS need more of from these calls?
- e.g., Co-ordinating. Working open. Sharing best practises. Making sure the most important stuff is on everyone's radar.
- Q: What do MENTORS want from these calls?
- Webmaker has three core audiences:
- INFRASTRUCTURE
- What are the TOOLS we need to make these calls run smoothly?
- 1) Reliable audio. Must-have. Killer functionality: mute all lines.
- 2) Interactive agenda + easy chat.
- Back in the day, switching from wiki to etherpad made HUGE difference in these calls
- BUT: current etherpad set-up doesn't scale. How do we make it more stable?
- Important context:
- According to @dascher: Mozilla is looking at implementing an etherpad replacement (based on etherpadlite). Timelines for this? Next steps?
- Should MoFo run and maintain *our own* instance of Etherpad Lite? Would that help?
- What other tools exist? What are examples of how other calls do it?
- Q: short term: what are our immediate next steps on making Etherpad more stable?
- Q: long term: can Etherpad scale to meet our needs for 75+ / 100+ 200+ / people? What other set-ups should we consider?
- Q: short term: what are our immediate next steps on making Etherpad more stable?
- Important context:
- 3) Screen sharing. Not essential, but nice to have. Want to show off killer DEMOS and prototypes.
- Dirty little secret: 90% of the time we have issues with screen sharing, it's because people *don't show up early!*
- The Geneva Convention for Humane Treatment of AV Personnel applies: no early, no demo.
- Q: right now we're using WebEx, because it integrates easily with our audio. Are there other tools we should look at?
- CONTENT
- Focused on doing better in Q1: better documentation and sharing coming *out* of these calls. e.g.,
- Mini documentation sprints. After each call, we turn these notes into tweets, status updates and blog posts. e.g., <a href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Tweets">https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Tweets</a>
- Weekly Summaries. e.g., Webmaker TLDR: <a href="http://openmatt.org/2013/01/17/tldr/">http://openmatt.org/2013/01/17/tldr/</a>
- Mozilla Monday All Hands. <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/WeeklyUpdates">https://wiki.mozilla.org/WeeklyUpdates</a>
- Getting your best stuff in front of all Mozillians.
- What this means for you: these calls are a great way to get your news into key channels.
- Q. What kinds of *content* do you want to see more of in these calls in Q1 / Q2?
- e.g.,
- Demos. I love having at lease one awesome demo in each call.
- Board slides. I like how these lay out strategy and planning.
- Regularly scheduled team updates. The agenda is 100% ad hoc right now -- might be good to have regularly scheduled presentations from key teams?
- Focused on doing better in Q1: better documentation and sharing coming *out* of these calls. e.g.,
- What are the TOOLS we need to make these calls run smoothly?
- GENERAL QUESTIONS / SUGGESTIONS?
- How to Get Involved:
- Next steps:
- publish your feedback as a blog post
- Add it to a new Webmaker Community call roadmap
- Report back on next week's call
- Want to get involved? Get in touch with @OpenMatt. Or stick around after this call.
