Editing Meeting Minutes/2020-08-17 Regular Meeting (section)

== Agenda ==

*Hellos and checking in.

*Noah asks to move the meeting to another day/time bc. he has choir rehearsal every monday at 5pm UTC and needs to leave home at ~6:15
** Martin will set up a Doodle to check time

*The Support team has been working on a guideline document that includes ethical principles of the platform. Everyone is invited to read through the work in progress and add/comment. Link is here: https://codi.kanthaus.online/7P_XQoCoTCqnSfjdHDrFHw?both

*Paula has said she will take the lead on populating/collecting info for team.trustroots.org page
** Martin will ping Paula for update and clarification on such task.

*Chagai, Martin, Shawn agree that it may be good to show short biographies for the team on the page to present a robust team working on Trustroots currently as part of the public relations. 

*Hlib suggests an internal volunteer page for fellow volunteers to get to know each other
** Loberto has referred Hlib to #ahoyparty Codi for this. It exists but needs to be worked on further. Further development of 
** /teams might be good

*Trustroots Donation page: It needs to be updated seeing as we don't currently accept donations
** Nikki will explore rearranging and condensing the information on the page. 
** Should the donation page be renamed possibly? 

*Styleguide for Trustroots: Is there one (Nikki K)
** Will ping Mikael about it and to explore possibly creating one. 

*Idea: If we do accept donations, they could go to funding a Trustroots hackathon somewhere and support travel expenses for those coming. 

*There is momentum in working on the reference based system (Now known as "Experiences") on the slack. For those interested to participate in the conversation and development, look at the #experiencedesign channel. Shawn is working on a blogpost to explain and announce the rollout. 

*One idea to promote good reference usage is to have a proper campaign educating people:
** Start with a good blog post about it, shared on all social media
** Mention it in our next newsletter
** Write in the FAQ “References good practices”
** Write a wiki article about references, why giving a negative reference is not a bad thing
** Additional topics/questions

*Anarchist Circle: Someone contacted support to offer to update the photo and description. 
** Loberto can help facilitate the request. 

*We did not pick a facilitator for the next meeting. Could it be you?

*Have a good week everyone!
