Discussion

Fundraising for features

  • A proposal for fundraising for features. An update in the thread ‘summarising the two meetings’
  • Two meetings were had They were good!
  • Lots of different proposals, not unlike papercuts.
  • Delivery team criteria discussion on the list of ideas.
  • Clear scope and wide appeal is currently more important than hygiene and differentiation. Not that either are not useful.
  • List of potentially funded features fit with MCFE core persona?
  • AU team need to be notified and included.
  • Get the list out see if it works/funded. Learn!

Metabase

  • Metabase was down? continuous problem and can we stop it??
  • An S2 but is lower than other S2’s.
  • Issue request for discovering stability vs. fixing it when it breaks.

Estimations

  • Estimates in everything in dev ready but Andy has thought about the process of estimation, namely as a ‘synchronous’ conversation.
  • Andy’s proposal: Core dev on release cycle, nudges the next release person, they would go through and estimate the dev ready column. Start this week and see how it goes.

Design contributors

  • We have lots! I’ve ‘onboarded’ 3 and another 3 to follow. This is still an experiment but many of them are very enthusiastic.
  • Connected Mathew & David & Mishkat from Canada.
  • Support on user research? UX research, good to have contributors.
  • Standard thoughts on contributors: Clear expectations, understanding.
  • Eriol’s time considerations re. guiding projects. Sustainable.

Performance

  • Pau via slack: I need to mention that Jose, my sysadmin friend, is making good progress on having ofn-install to scale up UK’s server. We need to aware of the fact that someone on the core team (likely me) will need to sit with him to come up with a plan to bring it to reality. That is, schedule downtime and apply the change.

Product Analytics

  • Volunteer tracking implementation from the beginning. Testing alongside the checkout process.
  • Dev capacity to implement tracking on Matomo.
  • An issue in the checkout split to implement tracking on the feature.
  • How long do we gather data?
  • Analytics first issue on existing checkout > feature toggle > live ?
  • Conversion, what does it mean in checkout?
  • List of Metrics would help understand.

NEXT MEETING:
We meet next we may be doing the combo new style - catch up async.
