Issues

Still images of the explainer video

https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/207

Ege: I wanted to put bg image on twitter
… I need to use screenshot to do this
… do we have a non Youtube video?
… or still images

Sebastian: We did have a story board
… no individual figures
… will check

Daniel: w.r.t. other video source, see https://www.w3.org/2021/02/wot-explainer-video.html

Fady: should maybe have an "assets" folder

Kaz: do we need all resources from the video?

Fady: I think we should have a set of images/assets

Kaz: Not sure if/why we need to have all pictures

Ege: I think we should have those images from explainer video already

Sebastian: I found the storyboard
… will upload to GH
… is now in issue

Kaz: We should put it in a dedicated folder, add a description and link for it from the README.md (or the HTML page)

<kaz> e.g., wot-marketing/images area

Twitter Background Image

https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/206

Fady: 2 options are proposed
… choice #1 has some issues, different font colors
… maybe we have better options

Ege: We can use images from storyboard also
… proposal 24A

Fady: looks good to me

Philipp: I can take a picture of OLED showing something also
… will add sample to issue

WoT logo on repository READMEs

https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/190

Fady: Would like to see the logo
… most people liked right-aligned version most
… i like centered version more
… because other samples do it in the middle

Ege: argument was that center version takes too much space
… however, we do not use readme a lot.. so space is not a problem I think..

Fady: other repos center logo

Sebastian: the difference is that we do not provide software as the others
… I am okay with the last centered version from Cristiano

Philipp: +1

Daniel: twitter feed and SO badge needs to move up also

Fady: makes sense
… badges are not just about TD or Arch repo et cetera

Kaz: W3C usually do not put logo
… should check with Coralie
… on top readme?

Ege: Yes, top readme

Kaz: I think logo on all readmes seems overkill.. but we should check with Coralie

Fady: Who can check the policy?

Sebastian: Let's ping Coralie in the issue

Fady: Okay, did so

Update "About" section

https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/189

Fady: Solved, right?

--> close issue

Process/Tooling to Keep WoT Events Up to Date

https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/179

Fady: tooling to keep events up to date

Daniel: issue on main wiki also

Fady: I also have troubles to find the *next* meeting
… McCool is handling invitations

Kaz: 2 points
… 1. Who maintains calendar
… 2. How to update/import/snyc
… used to have feed import

Daniel: Kaz, can you share link?

Kaz: Using W3C API

<kaz> old WoT WG page

Sebastian: 2 comments
… we still don't have the number of visitors
… would be good to know how many people use "events" subpage
… is there a need
… my expectation is that there would a W3C tool to be used ... via calendar view
… Are there any plans ... in conjunction with the new webpage

Kaz: Should ping system team

Sebastian: I did that in the past and did not get any response

Fady: Wondering about next steps?
… who can maintain the calendar et cetera

Philipp: Note that the information on our meetings is available on the wiki pages

Fady: I am rather new to the group... maybe that's why I have difficulties
… for outsiders it is not easy to understand

Philipp: wiki is to get used to it
… w.r.t. external events we need a better solution

Kaz: Agree with Philipp
… from my viewpoint, we can simply add links from the WoT Welcome pages to the wiki pages about our meetings, at least as the starting point
… or do you want to have all the content on the GitHub side rather than the wiki pages?

<sebastian> sorry I need to go to next meeting

Fady: not everybody knows about the wiki

Kaz: As I already mentioned, we can simply add links from the WoT Welcome pages to the Wiki pages.

Fady: that's not elegant ...

Kaz: What do you mean by "Elegant" here?
... Anyway the WoT Use Cases call is starting now, so would suggest we discuss this issue next time instead of now.
