The Mindshare Committee held a face-to-face spread over two days, June 7th & 14th. We met for a total of four hours, spending half our time on discussion and half playing GeoGuessr. We discussed topics such as new logo swag and what we want to do at Nest. We also got a sneak peak at the Community Survey results. Another goal of the F2F was to actually see each others faces and spend a bit of time out of IRC hanging out with each other. In a pre-COVID world, we definitely would have met up a couple times already—we miss each other!

Community Survey Results Preview

  • Contributor Survey
    • 634 full responses so far
    • 925 full/initiated responses
    • We think the banners really improved the rate of responses, and we want to ensure there is documentation for adding banners to the various websites
    • We see that Mindshare Committee functionality is not as visible as we would like based on responses to some of the Community Engagement questions

Translations Reviews

  • What is the best method to get reviews on translations?
    • po files method is what is used for the coloring books
    • svg/xml, put in repo, run the script, send the link to the translator list
      • pull requests allow for more accurate reviews
    • Put the main SVG asset in its own repo on GitHub / GitLab
    • Set up GitHub Actions / GitLab equivalent to built PDF / PNG preview of asset
    • Allow translators to clone repo and submit translated version of SVG file (translating in the SVG XML directly via text editor) with _LANGCODE as filename (e.g., flyer.svg => flyer_jaJP.svg or flyer_ptBR.svg)
    • Translators file pull request to submit their translated SVG file up to repo
    • Link Fedora translation teams to the pull request link, which will allow them to approve and/or provide inline comments on the translation

New Logo, New Swag
