- Do you feel like you are included as a member of the Fedora Community? (In the context of other answers, this is interesting. What do people who feel like they "belong" do in Fedora? What do people who feel excluded do or not do in Fedora?)
- How do people feel about accessibility in general, but also mindshare specifically
- Satisfaction rating for Mindshare
- Knowledge of CoC, aware of community standards of behavior

Survey results

Objective
YAY COUNCIL MEMBERS!! First time for Mariana, congrats!
- The revamp has now become a Fedora Objective

- apply feedback into overall plan (start next week)
- add council updates into regular meetings: monthly updates
Devconf.cz
- Marie finish slides
- Mariana finish up her part
- Run through next week
### Meeting January 27th
Objective discussion
- we reviewed, made some edits, look good.
- Mariana is updating the discussion page
Devconf.cz Presentation
- Marie to do slides for next meeting
- Run through presentation and make improvements
Let's discuss:
- Can we address free media with revamp?
https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/252
jwf: I think the Free Media program is from a different time in Fedora. But it did one thing uniquely: it provided a decentralized way for contributors to help others use and contribute to Fedora
jwf: Instead of requiring a process to go through Mindshare and take time, it was originally a fast process for someone to help someone else out without contacting the Fedora Board (back in the day)
jwf: It would be nice to see something replace that need that was once a very strong point for us
- We feel this is no longer relevant. Not needed for Revamp.
- Fedora Design intern for upcoming Outreachy session to work on design assets for the Revamp.
- Marie to write up a proposal and put on mentored projects
- Fit in Fedora Badges to the revamp overall
- CommOps "checkup check list"
- We need to write up a check up doc for CommOps/Mindshare to review the health of the CommOps structure in the future.
Community Survey
- Analysis is going great so far
- How do we want to publish results?
- publishing the entire thing could be problematic, if people pick apart responses
- we should trim the data
-
### Meeting January 19th
#### Survey
Results Analysis:
- people do not use the mindshare committee as much as they should/could
- enable self organizers with more resources
- people aren't interested in running events, but they do want to participate
- need a function to share/signal boost things OR
- strengthen the existing network for sharing cool projects, signal boosts etc
To do:
- Reach out to Alberto, Sayak, Ashlyn & Vipul & invite to thursday meeting
- Read through results
### Objective Questions
We need to answer the following questions
#### Q1
Specifically:
Very minor: there’s an Activity to design the new swag and handouts (good) but “distribute new rebrand materials” should be in the Activities column as well somewhere, and a corresponding entry in outputs as well. In general it’d be nice to put numbers on things in the Outputs column where we can.
- Add in "Distribute new rebrand materials" to activities
- Edit to "Brand & Marketing" in outputs
- Matthew, please clarify what do you mean to "put numbers on things"
Less minor: I’d like to see more concrete measurables for Outcomes. How will we determine that teams are functional?
- We feel this Objective goal should really boil down to being a sustainable team versus a "functional" team. It could be functional today, and then fall apart tomorrow. Ideally we will see increase in involvement and activity, cross-collaboration of all teams in functional aspects, and utilization of resources & processes. Additionally, we feel this is not something that can be measured after we've checked all the boxes, it will be something we can observe over a period of 1-2 years after the completion of this objective. Adding in a survey and/or analysis one year out and two years out, allowing for adjustments to the program, could be the way to address this.
How will we decide that we have clear processes and documentation and an easy-to-participate-in onboarding process?
- Each of the teams in the revamp will have their info congregated into one Docs page with fully updated documentation for each team. This includes the entirety of the updated Ambassador program and the Role Handbooks. Wiki pages for the teams will be marked as obsolete, retired, or moved.
How will we know if Awareness is at levels we deem successful?
- This is a great question, and has instigated a new ativity for the Revamp. Our idea is to create a series of polls on social media: discourse, telegram & twitter. We can gauge community awareness on a variety of outreach related topics now, and in 6 months, and in one year. We can also include questions related to this in the 1 and 2 year follow ups.
How will we know people feel connected to their team identities?
- We will be able to explore the identity question through the polls on social media. We can also include questions related to this in the 1 and 2 year follow ups.
None of this will block me from voting for this, but having it done up front will make it easier for us to evaluate progress and eventual results.
#### Q2
I think the Outcomes need to be more measurable and specific with a plan for measurement.
- We have expounded on each Objective with how we intend to measure each outcome, as well as any potential issues we foresee.
##### Update Outcomes #####
1. The Ambassador team is full of active contributors who know what to do and how to do it
- We have completed the first Ambassador group cleanup and we are adding a cadence into the Ambassador program for annual cleanups. This will ensure that the Ambassador team is full of active contributors only. We will also clarify the documentation on "how to become Ambassador Emeritus" so that if folks choose to retire they know what to do.
- We will measure their knowledge of the Ambassador activities/processes through a specific survey for the members currently active in the Ambassador Team. This survey should be done 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after the revamp is complete. The results of the survey should instigate any small or large adjustments that may need to be done to the program. These surveys will be written during the Revamp, and then implemented by CommOps/Mindshare.
2. The process for how to organize events and request swag is well known to all Ambassadors, and those within the larger CommOps umbrella.
- This one will be kind of tough to measure. Ideally, we will be able to tap into some of these self-organized events and outreach activities with a CommOps based "Community Activity Network" of sorts. The community survey is showing us that people are doing things without reporting them back, so the overall community is unaware of the activity. The "CAN" would help boost the signal of these activites with virtually no effort from the people executing these activites but to submit them to the network. Once we are able to capture the events/activity that are happening we believe we will find that our event presence is robust.
- We should see a general increase in Mindshare Committee tickets. We will need to measure how many new swag requests are being made, compare them to years past, and continue to look at those numbers. Based on our current pandemic life, this looks a bit different and may be hard to forecast. In the past year swag handouts have been organized centrally through the FCAIC as Red Hat is fulfilling these requests to personal addresses and their is a significant amount of Personal Identification Information (PII) and paperwork involved. The community survey is also showing us that almost everyone is attending events, but the motivation to self organize during the pandemic is low.
3. Members from CommOps & subteams are practicing new/updated forms of organized community outreach.
- We will measure this through informal polls, as well as the 1 and 2 year surveys. We should see an increase in Mindshare Committee tickets from these teams. It could potentially be tough to determine who is representing which request because their is a lot of overlap in membership on these teams. We should also see downloads/page views of key resources that are produced during the Revamp.
4. Clear onboarding documentation and process on how to get involved in the Community Outreach teams.
- The CommOps, Ambassador, Ambassador Emeritus, Ambassador Mentor, Advocate, and Join teams are rolled up into one Docs page with an set of comprehensive indexed resources and information. This will also include documentation and a cadence for updating these pages. Increase in the number of Join tickets and Ambassador mentor program (TBD).
5. Brand awareness from CommOps new structure is beginning to grow based on branding and relevant marketing plans.
- This is something we will measure through the informal polls on social platforms as well as in the 1 and 2 year surveys.
6. More contributors engaged in the Ambassadors program, but also the CommOps teams overall.
- This will be somewhat tough to measure. The results of the community survey are starting to show us that that folks really enjoy self organizing and working independently to one extent or another. One of the paths we are detailing for the Revamp is providing templates, resources, and most importantly, how to receive $resources from the Mindshare Committee. So, if we can see that most folks are choosing to self organize we would ideally see over time consistent page views/downloads of key resources and an increase in Mindshare Committee requests for $resources.
7. Weekly meetings for Community Outreach.
- The weekly meetings will be open to all of the Outreach teams. We expect a base of 6-10 folks who regularly show up. All others on these teams will be encouraged to attend when they need support or are able. We will analyze in the 1 & 2 year follow up how many Community Outreach meetings occurred, and how many attendees were at each.
I also want to put out there that a lot of the deliverables here are a one-time thing… but I think some thought should be put towards ongoing / maintenance type activities. Because for example, new docs are great but they have to be maintained, and to keep them maintained they should start with a plan for sustaining them over time. The plan could be something as simple as, for example, scheduling an every 3-6mo review as part of the charter of the relevant team leadership, to review and update. But that thinking I think should take place now and the process be outlined.
- This is a great point and would definitely point us in a healthy direction for sustainability. 6 months seems like a reasonable cadence for folks to be checking in and updating docs pages for their teams. This is most likely something all teams should be doing, so I think it will fit in quite easily to the new structure. It has been noted to include these check-ins.
I also see that as a lot of the output are deliverables, I’d like to know if there is a distribution plan in mind (if not written up) for the materials in terms of how we’ll get them out and make them available. It’s mentioned that it’s a marketing team responsibility but I think understanding at the start what shape that delivery might take shape in (e.g. a special outreach specific website? social media distribution? some other platform like discourse? all of the above?) would help guide the creation of the content to be targeted for the correct target media. I’d suggest starting with a table of potential outlets. And thinking about, not just how do we announce this big change when it happens, but also where do the documents live and get access after the initial big announcement and in the general day-to-day operations over the long term as a reference. (could just be the fedora docs site, thats fine too, or could also involve a physical component like a printed “welcome kit” sent to new folks. would just like to see it written down :slight_smile: )
- These are great points, thank you for raising them. The proposal and plan was originally written with the idea that we could include almost every team on the Mindshare side of Fedora. This is still true to an extent, but we are changing our approach based on our experience from the past 6 months. We found that we are able to engage at least 1+ person from each team, but not the team as a whole. For example we opened a CommOps ticket and just one person has been driving that. We opened a D&I ticket and we ended up taking the task back and which the Co-leads completed with assistance from a couple D&I team members who overlap with the TTF/Revamp efforts. Asking skilled individuals to help on specific tasks has been a very successful approach. We reflected upon this in our meetings and came to the conclusion that most Objectives/big changes are implemented by a small group of dedicated people, so we do not view this revised approach as a failure.
- We have grabbed the following to-do's/conclusions from your comment. Let us know if we hit all the points :) We feel we need to get a good handle on the plans for these aspects and they will inform the other questions you have raised (where/how/format/sustainability)
- Write in a plan for distribution of new materials/resources
- Write in a plan for distribution of new swag items
- Write in a plan for announcement/roll-out
- Include roll/out documents/promotional materials on Fedora Docs page for Community Outreach
Should the Join team have a role here in the logic model? Community Outreach includes new community contributor recruits too, right
- During the research phase of the Revamp, executed by the FCAIC, we received feedback from the Join Team that they do not wish to add or remove any processes to their current workflow. The fundamental idea behind the Join Team, if we understood the feedback correctly, is that this group is for folks who want to help guide others with a ***low*** barrier to entry. Folks in Join hang out in a channel, and a couple of folks maintain a repo. They feel, as we do we, that they are working functionally currently, and we do not want to be an interference. They will be welcome at the overarching CommOps meetings, will be included in any announcements that are made, and will have access to all the resources that are developed for the Revamp.
- We could add in a function for the CommOps team to review the Join repo on a certain cadence to see if there is an increase/trends in tickets for new contributors.

Objective
Draft short community blog post Marie Nordin
https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/335
Draft:
In June of 2020 the Community Outreach Revamp was developed. The initial plan was written by Marie Nordin and then approved by the Mindshare Committee. Implementation began soon after by co-leads Mariana Balla and Sumantro Mukherjee. It became evident pretty quickly that this initiative is of monumental proportions and will take a lot of coordination, people, and hours to complete. Although we don't often have non-code related objectives, the Revamp falls under similar work-load category to other objectives and is crucial to the future of Fedora's community outreach.
We have opened a ticket on the Council-tickets pagure to gain approval from the Council for this objective proposal. Please provide feedback there or on the Council Discuss discussion page. The Council will vote on this in two weeks.

#### Response on Council-Discuss
How do you see co-leadership on the objective working in terms of the Fedora Council?
Both Sumantro and Mariana will join the council, but they will share one vote. They will both attend meetings as necessary and able. Marie will work as back up to provide updates on progress.
I'd like to see some specific measures of success. I am fully in
agreement with the concept, but it would be good to have something to
measure against.
Completion of Role Handbooks
CommOps, Join SIG, Advocate, Ambassador, Ambassador Emeritus
Formalized and documented process for reps to Mindshare
Execution and analysis of Community Outreach survey
Execution and documentation of Mindshare Team Interviews
Branding for CommOps team/subteams
Draft and execution of Marketing plan
Translations of Role Handbooks into 5-8 key languages
CommOps team/subteams are aware and satisfied with new processes/structure
Along the same lines (and to repeat Matthew's question from the
meeting), what do you see being different 6 months from now? 12?
In 6 to 12 months from now:
The Ambassador team is full of active contributors who know what to do and how to do it.
The process for how to organize events and request swag is well known to all Ambassadors, and those within the larger CommOps umbrella.
Members from CommOps & subteams are practicing new/updated forms of organized community outreach.
Clear onboarding documentation and process on how to get involved in the Community Outreach teams.
Brand awareness from CommOps new structure is beginning to grow based on branding and relevant marketing plans.
More contributors engaged in the Ambassadors program, but also the CommOps team overall.
Weekly meetings for Community Outreach.
What kind of help will you need outside the scope of the Objective to
make it successful (e.g. design, documentation, software development,
etc)
The revamp plan includes most of the active teams within Mindshare. These teams have been asked to give their feedback as we worked on approving the proposal. For example, the design team will have to help with several of the tasks (logos, badges), the translation team will help to translate the role handbooks, etc. If you want to read more about how each team will be involved, there is further info on the wiki page. We will be using LimeSurvey to execute a survey.

### Meeting Sept 1st
#### Email Draft: Fedora Objective to Council
> **Objective Idea: Fedora Community Outreach Revamp**
> This objective will be an initiative to revamp several community outreach teams within Fedora that are struggling to function, or need more support to truly become a success. The objective will bring together Ambassadors, Ambassador Emeritus, Join SIG, and Advocates all under the same umbrella of CommOps in a clear and cohesive structure.
>
> **Work involved:**
> The objective will be based on a proposal that has been approved by the Mindshare Committee. [1] The revamp is being co-led by Sumantro Muhkerjee and Mariana Balla with the support of Marie Nordin, FCAIC. Sumantro and Mariana will co-lead the Objective as well if approved.
>
> There has been a call for volunteers, and kick off meetings are being arranged. [2] The proposal is also inclusive of the different teams under Mindshare, assigning tasks for each team to own. A further breakdown of tasks, timelines, and blockers can be found on the Revamp Trello board. [3]
>
> **Desired outcome:**
> The desired outcome for the Community Outreach Revamp is for Fedora’s outreach teams to be functioning successfully. The teams should be reinvigorated, understand their different roles clearly, and have all the tools to effectively outreach. Another desired outcome for this revamp is to rebuild contributor fulfillment in various ways.
>
> **Why this initiative should be a Fedora objective:**
> This initiative should become a Fedora objective for a variety of reasons. It is a large coordinated effort that will take 6-12 months to complete. Community outreach is an important aspect of the Fedora Project that does not get as much visibility as some technical initiatives. Making the Revamp an Objective will bring increased visibility. It will help to interest more people to contribute, and furthermore it will also bring credibility to the work that is being done. It will also create accountability to the Council to ensure the work is moving forward.
>
> **Feedback from the Council:**
> Please respond to this mail with thoughts, considerations, or suggestions for improvement. Once we receive feedback we will begin putting together the formal Objective proposal. [4]
>

#### Meeting Notes
Add in a recurring task for us to send updates to Ben every two weeks to be included in his weekly update blog posts
### Meeting: August 25th, 2020
Inclusion in Ben’s weekly updates
As described in the Ambassador Revamp process, one of the goals is to ensure that every team has equal stakeholding in the revamp. To make this change more transparent and open for the community to understand, and to include each Mindshare team in the rebuilding process.
The Taskforce would request the CommOps team to develop interview questions and conduct research interviews with active members/leads of each Mindshare team. The goal of the survey will be to accurately document their current responsibilities as well as any goals/ideas they may have for the future. Lastly, the CommOps team will work with each Mindshare to ensure there is one point of reference on line for each team that include the following points.
List:
Team name
Summary
Link
Some indication of it’s not a zombie
Optional:
Preferred Asynchronous communication channel (mailing list, discussion.fp.o)
Preferred Synch (IRC channel, telegram, etc, none)
Issue tracker
Docs
Meetings
Other
The Fedora Docs team will help with the Docs process.
This ticket is to track the person who will be working on the ticket, the progress and communications.
We would like to set up a meeting as well with the CommOps folks who will work on this to provide additional context/support and answer any questions.
