Sustain Discourse forum: Encouraging community with Badges

[jdorfman (Justin Dorfman)]

@jwf

While it is helpful to acknowledge availability of budget, I think at this point we should steer away from mixing money with volunteer work until there is more clear governance documentation about Sustain OSS. A funded join effort is not something (I think) we are equipped to do at this point.

@jwf

Is anyone else interested in a 50 minute conversation to explore collaborative work?

I’m in. @Erioldoesdesign @rachel_norfolk?

[rachel_norfolk (Rachel Lawson)]

Yeah, I’m in. Timing might be fun but let’s try

[Erioldoesdesign (Eriol Fox)]

Yup! I’m up for this convo!

Super! I put together a meeting date/time poll here:

https://whenisgood.net/sustain/badges-osd-chat01

Please fill out this poll by Friday, 22 May and I will set up a call once I have a few responses.

[jwf (Justin W. Flory (he/him))]

Hi folks, there is one common date/time standing out so far in the poll:

3 June 2020 @ 16:00 UTC

I think it’s likely to happen then. I created a calendar invite and sent it to @jdorfman, @rachel_norfolk , and @Erioldoesdesign. If anyone else would like a calendar invite, please ask here or send me a message!

Some time zone conversions:

• US Pacific: 09:00
• US Eastern: 12:00
• London: 17:00

I am happy to facilitate. I can put together a draft agenda here before the call. Looking forward to talking with y’all!

please and likewise =)

[jwf (Justin W. Flory (he/him))]

Hey folks, looking forward to chatting in an hour! Sorry for a late agenda, but here is how I was thinking to structure our conversation today:

1. Explore personal interests and motivations for a collaborative project
2. Define a short-term scope to produce some sort of agreed deliverable
3. Map out a tentative plan for how to move forward after we meet

This is what I am thinking but of course, open to feedback and suggestions. I am hoping for today’s call to be more like a conversation than a work meeting. I think this will be fun and I am pretty sure we are all volunteering on this. So let’s make today an exploration, and figure out where we go next.

[Erioldoesdesign (Eriol Fox)]

I’ll be there, but I’m extremely low spoons/energy today so I’ll likely be quiet - that’s not indicative of my general enthusiasm for this project though

[jwf (Justin W. Flory (he/him))]

Hi folks! Just a brief update. Here are the notes from our meeting. I spent time after we met reorganizing and refactoring the notes, so if you last saw them when we met, might be helpful to take a quick scroll through here:

[collab] Exploring Forum Badging Systems with Sustain OSS

We can use this thread later to coordinate a follow-up call for our collab. Right now, I’m focusing on the new discussion thread. Later, I will kick off a new meeting poll when I have a little more bandwidth.

Thanks everyone for your enthusiasm and participation today!

[Erioldoesdesign (Eriol Fox)]

Thanks to the folks on the call! I love these opportunities for collaboration

I’m gonna re-post this thread into the Open Source Design discourse to encourage/signal boost those designers interested in this kind of project/topic.

Thank you all. Sorry I had to bail early.

Great work (as always). Left some comments. No action items.

Here’s the post on open source design’s discourse: https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/open-source-design-project-with-sustain-oss-badges/1843/4

I’ll make sure I ‘merge’ ideas into our working google doc

Thank you @Erioldoesdesign! Since you got to this first, I think we can have the open discussion about badges over in that thread to avoid repetition. I’ll chime in over on the O.S.D. Discourse soon with some feedback.

[isaaczara (Isaac Sixtus Chizaram)]

Is this project still open?

[Erioldoesdesign (Eriol Fox)]

Yup! we’re just working across the open source design forum and here because of the ‘two’ stakeholders of the project. There’s an update from @jwf here: https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/open-source-design-project-with-sustain-oss-badges/1843/8

[isaaczara (Isaac Sixtus Chizaram)]

Great! i will check it out

[Erioldoesdesign (Eriol Fox)]

@isaaczaraone thing that would be great as me and Justin try and push this forward, is you (as a designer) taking a look at the current sustain oss discourse badges and letting us know what you think from your design perspective, you can thinking about:

• How they look
• Consistency
• What they are trying to help users to achieve/do
• What is missing

You can find badges on your profile page so the URL should be: https://discourse.sustainoss.org/u/yourusernamehere/badges

[isaaczara (Isaac Sixtus Chizaram)]

Noted, @Erioldoesdesign I will kindly check them out.

[isaaczara (Isaac Sixtus Chizaram)]

Hey @Erioldoesdesign it gave me a pop up that it is private , can you let me have access to it.
