Discussion

Barcamp

We did a review of the logistic progress regarding the BarCamp

Registration:

• We will accept any remote attendees who register for the event.
• Attendees need to register to have access to the Zoom link

Volunteer

• We will need someone to moderate the Zoom room and ensure that remote participants are heard.
• The list of volunteer roles is available on GitHub Prepare volunteer task descriptions and sign-up sheet · Issue #11 · OpenRefine/BarCamp2024 · GitHub

Logistic

We created a list of things we will need to get before the event. See Gather furniture / accessories required for sessions · Issue #12 · OpenRefine/BarCamp2024 · GitHub for more details

Antonin purchased a microphone and camera. See Prepare video set-up for remote attendance · Issue #6 · OpenRefine/BarCamp2024 · GitHub for more details

Session planning

After discussing, the group agreed that it would be easier to schedule the session as a group on Monday, June 17, before the event instead of preparing the schedule asynchronously beforehand. We think that having a live planning session (with both in-person and remote attendees) will allow for spontaneous proposals and help refine the scope of the suggested proposition.

Remote participation

Esther will propose something for remote attendees to also have a social activity.

Mission/Vision project

Bocoup is making progress doing contributor interviews.

Survey

Martin reopened the conversation on the forum

Drafting the 2024 User Survey

When I distributed the final survey for review to a limited group of people, I received feedback challenging its structure and purpose. I believe these concerns are valid, and I want to ensure the survey is useful. My goal is to create an actionable survey for all community members, whether developers, designers, or community managers. Therefore, I am reopening the discussion about the survey design based on the feedback received. I organized the feedback into four categories. Why are we do…

We still need to balance length vs what users do and want. Martin is scheduling a community call on Tuesday, May 28th.
