Community Blueprint idea
by Ildiko Vancsa 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Hi, I'm reaching out to you as a follow up to one of the ideas that was brought up during the OpenInfra Board of Directors (BoD) meeting in Berlin on June 6, called Community Blueprint. The prupose of this email is to raise awareness of the activities around the idea and invite you to participate in next steps, if you are interested. A few of us from the OpenInfra Foundation staff and BoD met recently to discuss the idea in a bit more details and identify goals and next steps. Highlights from our conversation include: * Goals - Create a playbook that new projects can use to make well-informed choices in areas such as licensing, governance, community structure and more - Beyond documenting processes and tools, the playbook will also discuss expectations, i.e.: what commitments the project founders will have, what the ecosystem and community expects from them - The playbook is intended to be used by prospective new OpenInfra projects, and in addition showing thought leadership in the open source ecosystem * Playbook documents - Target audience + 1st stage: Managers and executives to understand what it means and entails to do something in open source + 2nd stage: Contributors and developers - Seed content: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/hflJmbl2SGsD0Pkkr-Sa - Repository: https://opendev.org/openinfra/way * Further background - We went through an overview of the original idea that was targeting the balance and sustainability of the open source ecosystem, and the OpenInfra Foundation's opportunity to provide guidance to our current and prospective projects as well as the ecosystem at large - We looked into the history of long-existing open source projects as well as the current trend of mass-creation of new projects + Experienced contributors can help build and maintain community culture + New projects without experienced members can easily become dysfunctional without the community noticing —> These models are also replicating in the current ecosystem by projects following bad examples * Next steps - Use the new Git repository and seed content linked above to start outlining the document structure and content For more detailed notes of our conversation please see the following etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/community-blueprint If you have any question or would like to participate in the effort please reply to this thread or reach out to me directly. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation

Hello everyone! I want to share with everyone our primary social media CTAs for this week. Having our Board Members repost and/or comment on our posts is incredibly helpful to reinforce our messaging. Anything you and your employees can do to help us extend that reach is much appreciated! If you have any questions please let us know. I also work closely with your marketing teams to ensure we are supporting your organizations’ announcements, but if there is anything specific you would like to see the Foundation promote, please let me know. I also work closely with Horace Li, the OpenInfra Foundation China Community Manager, and will post links in the OpenInfra Board WeChat group on posts that would benefit from member engagement. In addition, the OpenInfra Foundation is hosting the OpenInfra Summit in Vancouver [https://openinfra.dev/summit/ <https://openinfra.dev/summit/>], June 13 -15, 2023. We are trying to determine the level of interest among contributors to OpenInfra projects on attending a co-located PTG in Vancouver. The exact format and dates are still being determined. At this time, we are evaluating the level of interest from an attendee and employer perspective. Please complete the following poll so we can measure the level of interest and plan accordingly. Future updates will be distributed to the project mailing lists as well as previous PTG attendees.
