Re: Improving Onboarding Experiences
Wow, summer has been busy in $real-life... Shane Curcuru wrote on 7/12/23 11:47 AM: ...snip... https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/Proposal%3A+Improving+Onboarding+Experiences I've finally finished the PMC Chair onboarding update. It feels like another important onboarding improvement would be the process around how new PMC *members* are invited. Currently, the notification process for new PMC members is purely up to each project, so there's no standardization - and no cross-ASF way to ensure new PMC members get at least a little background information. Without unduly burdening PMCs, how can we improve this? If ComDev builds a template email, how many PMCs would use it? Alternately, if we can build a Whimsy tool that provided some onboarding information to new PMC members when the roster is updated, how would that get used? I think the key needs for new PMC members are: - Ensure any newly appointed PMC member sees - and is encouraged to read! - the core "what a PMC does" docs: https://apache.org/dev/pmc#policy (the obvious PMC policy guide) https://apache.org/foundation/marks/responsibility (a key guide to ensuring PMCs are at least aware of our trademark policies) - Editing each of the above for clarity and completeness. - Including any "why" or rationale documentation, like: https://community.apache.org/contributor-ladder.html#pmc-member Anyone else got brainstorming ideas or time to help? -- - Shane Member The Apache Software Foundation - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
Re: Skill based groups at the ASF
I’d love to see this idea implemented. It will make it easier for new
volunteers to find the things that interest them. Anything that makes new
volunteers feel like they belong is something we should try, even if it’s a
heavy pull to implement.
What can be done to make this easier to implement?
Once new guilds are identified and fleshed out, the website could have
“Guilds” on the banner. Click on it, and there’s a description that warmly
explains what the guilds are (a way to contribute using your personal
skills and interests), and how to join. Then there could be a list of
guilds with a short (one sentence) description. Each guild name could be a
link to click on, which could lead the new volunteer to a page that
celebrates the guild and has a “Join this Guild” button.
My only concern is getting too many guilds that become too specific.
Having too many guilds may make for convoluted communication, so we should
try to identify best ways to group guilds to avoid having too many.
“Writers and Editors, Community and Mentors, Business and Marketing, Our
Code Wizards, Planners and Organizers” are what pop in my head, though I’m
sure there’s more.
Also consider allowing these spaces to be for socializing as well as work.
We have plenty of channels dedicated to just work, but Guild could be a
safe place to grow community and get to know each other via shared
interests. This is something that could go a long way to making all
volunteers, not just newcomers, feel more welcome and at home.
Just brainstorming here, but I think the idea has merit.
