## Work Updates 

#### Sowmya 
- template the tasks and requirements for the websute 
- productions and deployment (heroku) of site
- roadmap 
    - looking at tools (dynamic) 
    - miro board for interactive sessions with the community to capture info 

##### Outcomes:
- deprioritize roadmap 
    - we don't need another tool (happy to have it stay on github and stay within milestones and issues)

User testing to be moved 
- feedback is important but can be bumped down the priority list 

Sowmya has awesome development skills and so the core of Sowmya's time is the dev and having a website that works with open humans 
- functionality 

Deprioritize working on CSS and HTML prettiness 
Deprioritize miro board and asking for opinions 
- we don't have space to take feedback onboard at this point 

#### Lottie 
- working on the onboarding pack
- contributing skills 
    - what skills do people need for various contributions 
- tidying up the git repo

The AutSPACEs contributing guidelines goes and links into The Turing Way


#### Georgia 
- how to roadmap in an open way 
    - coworking on projects 

##### Outcome:
- Open an issue and to design the roadmap INSIDE an issue 
    - Current Issue -> https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/AutSPACEs/issues/95 -> which details out some of the work that can be done 
    - ^ this issue is now pinned so it can be found 
- [this issue](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/AutisticaCitizenScience/issues/72) is what Lottie should keep an eye on for ideas and updates (eg. how to build a platform)
    - full working pieces instead of a whole MVP  


##### Recap:

- The "Roadmap Issue" should be a collection of issues 
- people then comment on OTHER issues that should be included in the project 
and *those* gets built into the roadmap 
- **@Lottie** will then order the issues that pop up 
- her role is to order the tasks 

##### Discussion:
Don't want discussion on the issue itself 
- the "roadmap" is one issue 
- and there are other issues that have discussion and are ideas that people from the community have 



## Outcomes 

We want to stay on github and use the tools for github 

Sowmya to deploy something to heroku to demo it by tomorrow

Set up a "core roadmap" git issue that Lottie will manage 

Set up discussion/many issues which captures ideas for the project 
- [discussion/ideas issue](https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/AutisticaCitizenScience/issues/462) 

**@Lottie** to think about where meeting notes go in the git repo
- and tell **@Sophia** where to push these notes

#### Moving Forward 
Ping **@Lottie** when ideas about the project are generated 

**@Lottie** to oversee the pieces that get added to the "roadmap" git issues 
- https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/AutisticaCitizenScience/issues/462

**@Sowmya**
- core pages need to exist and function how they are aimed at functioning 
- integration with Open Humans 
- the focus is getting the funcationality working 


**@Sowmya** to give a demo of the site in this week's meet up. 
- deploy it to heroku before tomorrow

The AutSPACEs contributing guidelines goes and links into The Turing Way

How to use github to curate roadmap should be a chapter in the Turing Way 
- Lottie to keep track of the work process so she can curate it into a contribution 

**@Lottie, @Sowmya, @Sophia** to read the [Health Report](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q_OXIUH2ZzMYdb1CnfW-49rT1jzoNh_XIzqNvQVyiEI/edit?usp=sharing) that @Georgia wrote.
