New Contributor/Comitter Onboarding Experience The stuff I'm aware of: There is some documentation here on comdev, there is some on foundation level pages, there is some more for each project independently. Likely we could benefit already from starting a dialogue, collecting and sharing what has worked for various people. There's one thing on my mind at least that may be related: I would love to make it easier (and more obvious) for people to help out with non-coding tasks. I would also like to figure out if there's a way to make it easier to understand how the ASF works and why it's designed the way it's designed - even for people who are not deep down in the trenches working on one of our projects. > 2. Knowledge Base Architecture for projects (documentation) See above. > 3. Events There's at least four sites to that topic from my perspective: - projects getting publicity at local meetups (likely it would be benefitial to share information on advantages as well as on how to benefit) - projects getting publicity through speaking at larger but non-ASF conferences - projects getting publicity through organising their own summits and conferences (likely sharing best practices, experience and ideas would be great to have there? The ones I know are organised by commercial entities who have built their business on top of ASF projects) - ApacheCon itself - see also https://tinyurl.com/y8enunur for one attempt to move it closer to a patches welcome working model (traditionally this was organised by an external producer, coordination happened through a mailing list that isn't archived publicly) - the ASF getting more visibility through talks, tracks and booths at non-ASF exclusive events (that's mainly coordinate through the comdev list) > 4. Diversity & Inclusion, focuses in LatinAmerica The things that I'm aware of often happen on the project level. One thing that was organised at comdev was to run a diversity survey. > I work with a team of 2 more people (in addition to myself) - Aizhamal who > lead the first two projects and a new person joining us in two weeks who > will lead Events.
