Breakout: Do You Measure Your Activity?

• number of talks a quarter
• end user activity: forks, additions to adoption.md, downloads
• enhancements/features and activity around them
• releases going out the door and making sure they are buttoned up
• stars are terrible
• green grids arent great either

value interactions over metrics

Breakout: What targets to set?
goals vs tactics
don't be too rigid

What are the things for which you are the bottleneck?
when there are no other maintainers/approvers
'no one else to do the job'

Are you considering delegating some of these things?
[comment]"harder said than done"
decide whats ok to let burn
be ok with things failing
if everything is urgent nothing is - let it go

have some kind of roadmap - helps with delegation
onboarding new community members can be difficult; create space for that work (sig, wg, outreach, hire a community manager)

"where did the time go" doesn't help - make goals
