Proposal: Creation of a Community Task from Meetings

This proposal is to promote the interworking of SUSE staff and the community, it would require some handholding by staff, but this is hopefully outweighed by the proposed Community resource input into the project.

I would like the meeting attendees to express their view on the creation of a Community action item each week (if there is a suitable task).

In other words, to think of the community as a resource that can be assigned a task. A secondary step would then be to announce the action item in the minutes and interested community members respond with a commitment.

It is obvious that only certain tasks are suitable as a Community Task, I think the criteria would be:

  1. Clear objective (to describe the task and to measure completion of the task).
  2. Not time critical, (or at least the duration of the task is a lot shorter than the time until the deadline, to allow reassignment etc).
  3. Doesn't require access to internal systems etc

As an example, the update of the Wiki download page to accommodate the new media layout, could have been be a candidate for a Community Task in my view.

Benefit: Extra resources available. Promotes Community cooperation.

Risk: Failure of community to deliver, requiring staff to do task anyway.

--Pflodo

  • Propsal to asign different Community Status levels depending on user's reliability; rebuffed due to lack of infratructure availability to handle such a task
