Agenda (Add your name if adding a talking point, thanks.)
- 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.
Loberto : There is someone who wants to update the anarchists circles, Loberto may do it.
