Priorities for 2021
Paul - documentation
- GSOC - not sure if its worth it now, project sizes are cut in ½, will provide a proposal next board meeting

- for example: plone 6 release -> plone.org should on Plone 6 with Volto
first sprint for plone.org in Feb 2021,
- focus on migration to Plone 5.2 & Python 3
- fold plone.com into plone.org
- Erico - revive the Brazilian Plone community
- Jens - steering circle, community, Alpine sprint in the summer?
- ensure that zope.org domains continue to work
- keep community members talking about plone in conferences etc. we should publicize this initiative
- Victor - Plone 6 help coordinate teams
- Andy - improve contributor agreement
Plone Conference 2020 Report
- "It Went Well" - Plone Foundation President
- videos will be posted after 1 month
- speakers & trainers - gift? maybe set up plone store, give a credit maybe or discount codes
- python foundation wants some reports etc for their records, we need to invoice them
- near real-time recordings would be great for in person conference
Digital Ocean deploy button
- Erico talked with Kim about it - Plone foundation will pay for it for now
- Installer team sprint would likely supersede it, but board should facilitate it with the end goal being pip install plone and Docker containers
