Agenda & notes¶

• Caught Lahari up on our first initiative, Welcome Mat

• What is the welcome mat?

  • Probably the website

  • April thinks it’s specifically the content on https://jupyter.org/community, because that page’s job is to be the place where community members go to connect and learn

  • Jason points out that it’s not 100% clear what the entire jupyter.org website’s job is

  • Should we propose fixing some low-hanging fruit around the entire website and/or volunteering to own the entire website? :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

  • Lahari suggests we design the community page around a few Welcome Mat use cases or personas, then recommend to the EC or foundation

  • One thing we might also want to change is the experience of the jupyter.org front page for people who want to contribute or to contribute more (not total newcomers to Jupyter)

• Start on the website by focusing on the community page: https://jupyter.org/community

  • There’s also more content on community here: https://docs.jupyter.org/en/latest/community/content-community.html :cry: (what is the docs website’s job?)

  • This page is for people who are or who want to be contributors in the Jupyter community.

    • Audience has some familiarity with at least some parts of Jupyter

  • That could include a clear, central landing place for new contributors like a New Contributors Zulip channel

  • Questions that should be easy to find answers to:

    • What are things I could contribute to?

    • How do I go somewhere and raise my hand and ask if I can help?

    • Where are events happening? Regular meetings and conferences?

    • How do I connect with others in the community?

    • Are there monthly meetings happening?

    • How many sub- projects are in Jupyter? How do I contribute to them? Who should I reach out to If I want to talk to people related to these sub projects?

    • What are other contributor success stories?

    • What are ways I can contribute other than code?

• Example: https://antennapod.org/contribute/

  • Lots of easy quick handles on avenues for contributing
