Hi Anurag, thanks a lot for your interest, I really think this area of work can have a great impact. The next step is finding a coordinator that would be willing to start organizing regular meetings every 1 or 2 weeks. Other tasks of the coordinator are keeping the team member list updated, same with the team-wide TODO list, publishing the meeting minutes on the wiki and on the mailing list and making sure the team agrees on a mission statement that is put on their wiki page. We also need to ask the Wiki team to create a new instance of the team template, such as this: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Wiki_Team It would be awesome news if you would like to take the role of the coordinator and I look forward to attend your first meeting. If you have time to read about the theory, here are some references: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_of_practice http://www.artofcommunityonline.org/ Regards, Tomeu > Thanks, > Anurag > > On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 7:00 AM, Tomeu Vizoso <to...@tomeuvizoso.net> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> following the recent interest in discussing resourcing and the teams >> structure, I would like to mention again the need for a community team >> that takes ownership of this area. >> >> Right now this work is unowned and is carried in an uncoordinated >> manner by several members of our community, which is rather >> unfortunate because they have several other responsibilities to take >> care of and because a coordinated effort could be much more effective >> in making sure that SLs is a good environment for people to work >> together on furthering Sugar. >> >> Community management is a young discipline that is blooming strong >> these days and though still a bit wild, there's even literature on it >> and could be a very interesting career path.
