Tomeu,<div><br></div><div>I read up a little bit about this and am willing to give it a shot. I will post later about specific questions I have regarding what my duties would be as the coordinator. I will, however, be in India all summer (June-Aug) working on a SoaS deployment. Consequently, I do not see myself having a lot of time for this position until the fall. However, if we set up a preliminary meeting on IRC sometime during the next several weeks, I can work towards some of the objectives on my own time table throughout the summer and continue weekly/biweekly meetings come fall. What are you thoughts?</div> <div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Anurag </div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 5:41 AM, Tomeu Vizoso <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tomeu@tomeuvizoso.net">tomeu@tomeuvizoso.net</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div class="im">On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 02:34, Anurag Goel <<a href="mailto:agoel23@gmail.com">agoel23@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> > This is definitely a great idea and will facilitate involvement in Sugar<br> > Labs for new members/volunteers - ultimately allowing for further growth of<br> > the organization as a whole. Let me know how I can help out with this.<br> <br> </div>Hi Anurag, thanks a lot for your interest, I really think this area of<br> work can have a great impact.<br> <br> The next step is finding a coordinator that would be willing to start<br> organizing regular meetings every 1 or 2 weeks. Other tasks of the<br> coordinator are keeping the team member list updated, same with the<br> team-wide TODO list, publishing the meeting minutes on the wiki and on<br> the mailing list and making sure the team agrees on a mission<br> statement that is put on their wiki page.<br> <br> We also need to ask the Wiki team to create a new instance of the team<br> template, such as this: <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Wiki_Team" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Wiki_Team</a><br> <br> It would be awesome news if you would like to take the role of the<br> coordinator and I look forward to attend your first meeting.<br> <br> If you have time to read about the theory, here are some references:<br> <br> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_of_practice" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_of_practice</a><br> <a href="http://www.artofcommunityonline.org/" target="_blank">http://www.artofcommunityonline.org/</a><br> <br> Regards,<br> <font color="#888888"><br> Tomeu<br> </font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br> <br> > Thanks,<br> > Anurag<br> ><br> > On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 7:00 AM, Tomeu Vizoso <<a href="mailto:tomeu@tomeuvizoso.net">tomeu@tomeuvizoso.net</a>> wrote:<br> >><br> >> Hi,<br> >><br> >> following the recent interest in discussing resourcing and the teams<br> >> structure, I would like to mention again the need for a community team<br> >> that takes ownership of this area.<br> >><br> >> Right now this work is unowned and is carried in an uncoordinated<br> >> manner by several members of our community, which is rather<br> >> unfortunate because they have several other responsibilities to take<br> >> care of and because a coordinated effort could be much more effective<br> >> in making sure that SLs is a good environment for people to work<br> >> together on furthering Sugar.<br> >><br> >> Community management is a young discipline that is blooming strong<br> >> these days and though still a bit wild, there's even literature on it<br> >> and could be a very interesting career path.
