This page provides guidance to people aiming to produce the most useful Monday meeting update from their area of the project.
Meeting Goals
The Monday meeting has 3 primary goals:
- Showcase the breadth of what happens in the project
- Focus community attention on specific things which need feedback or help
- Answer questions raised by the community
Secondarily, we also hope to:
- Increase community cohesion and cross-project awareness
- Ensuring openness and transparency
- Hand out whuffie
Therefore, please consider the following:
Do you need to give an update? It's OK if a particular area does not have an update on some or even most weeks. We still believe you are working hard :-)
What you plan to say should be one or more of the following:
- Encouraging
- Informative
- Motivating
Encouraging: tell people about cool stuff that has happened. Use this category sparingly.
Informative: answer questions you know the community has about what is going on in your area of the project.
Motivating: ask people to do things.
