New Business
Selection criteria for Plone teams
- Constraints on numbers, despite the framework page saying that everyone is invited
- [Executive Session]
Selection criteria is not listed
- Documentation needs
- Team leads need to update pages with selection criteria/process
ClassicUI/Volto/Framework teams - how are these coordinated?
- communication lines need to be defined
Steering Circle is an appropriate forum for this
- Board should only be called in if community is deadlocked
- Membership criteria for teams needs to be formalized
Priorities for 2022
- Work async and confer next meeting
- 6-7 bullet points to be developed
Sprint Classification
Current levels:
- Community - $300
- Small - $1500
- Large - $4000, needs approval from a team
- Board can work with sprint organizers
Board needs to update criteria - online vs in-person
- online sprints may not need the same level of support as say a small sprint
- do we incentivize online sprints in these times of COVID?
- small vs large should be revisited
- big sprints, Beethoven/Sorrento sized sprints need special consideration
new level for "Mega"
- num people * num days for determining dollar amount
- criteria: how is the money spent
- we can ask for a budget
- case by case basis
- typically, these are strategic sprints
- 1 - 2 per year usually
- difference between "mega" and "large"
- Revive the t-shirt economy to incentivize sprints
- Community - anyone can ask
- Small/Large needs to come from a team
- encourage non teams, eg Zope community, to form teams
Budget for 2022
- Paul volunteered to help Erico
- Due by first meeting of 2022
- [Executive Session]
- sprint estimations will be included
