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
