* Facilitator: Martin A.
* Present: Chagai, Laura, Loberto, Mariano, Martin A., Matt, Mikael, Shawn, Paula

== Agenda ==
* Hellos and checkin
* Update on Volunteer Advocate development /Martin A.
** A new role of people who welcome new volunteers joining, explains them Trustroots and different volunteering tasks, helps them to connect.
** New volunteers needed for the role!
** Current volunteering documentation: https://team.trustroots.org/
** First things:
*** Structure and create introductionary docs around volunteering advocate, and other 
*** Create document for welcoming protocol: https://codi.kanthaus.online/ahoyparty?both
*** Slack channel link: https://trustroots.slack.com/archives/C0150LWAHCP
** Would be great if there would be group of people who Welcome new volunteers; make them feel like they're part of something, engage them. Little things like that help people commit better in long run. 
* Need to change video chat link, perhaps also time? /Martin A.
** Everyone send suggestions to Slack, Martin can pick one, we can try them out some point randomly during Slack. :-)
* Renaming Tribes discussion /Martin A.
** A summary of the issue can be found here: https://codi.kanthaus.online/renamingtribes
** Shortlist already down to: Circles, Families, Rings
** In async conversation over on Slack, everyone seems to agree about Circles, while "Rings" and "Families" have had both cons/pros. Decided we will go for Circles as a replacement term.
** Google+ was using "Circles"
** Changing the term:
*** Blog post to introduce the change a week prior [Martin]
*** Coding [Mikael can get it started, anyone can feel free to help]
*** Changing all texts all at once
*** Let's not change old blog tests but add a note in old posts about Circles, link to new blog post
*** Mariano would like to thank everyone for taking on and doing this change! Some context from Mariano on the context of the term change:

** Mikael made a quick tool for CS profile exports
** Feel free to share in different conversations!
** Matt points out that too easy signup flow from CoushSpinner to Trustroots might bring too many wrong kinda people to try out Trustroots, just like Facebook connection did for Couchsurfing.
*** Valid point! Mikael will follow activity numbers first if it even makes sense
**  Chagai could help with adding the profile import feature on Trustroots, could screenshare with Mikael to learn how to implement it.
* We talked about inactive users and about work we did to get reply rates up as well bring user quality more up (more filled profiles, better reply rates)  :-)
