    • Scope: Give an overview of what Solid is, with a video shot by Marrelle

Solidproject.org Update

  • App Listing Cleanup
    • Reformatting by Kay K to ease cleanup.
    • First criteria: the app works when we test it. GH repo activity might be a hint too.
    • Other criteria
      • Can we get recent activity?
      • Can we get community feedback / starring / etc? - feedback needs to be up to date (and not static when the website is generated).
      • Timbl: Ideally need to get the app listing auto-generated
  • "About Solid" page
  • Events/Blog cleanup
    • Ideally get the events page more sectioned off, a bit easier to navigate
    • Ideally get videos from solid world (and from other events) embedded into the site
    • Host the events invites on the Events page instead of EventBright
  • The Jekyll setup is actually running on a bloggish infrastucture
    • TMIS could leverage this blog infrastructure
    • We could also publish invited blog posts, specifically invited selected community members
      • Cross-post blog posts, e.g. Noel's or Marrelle's
      • Make sure jobs posting/funding pages are more visible
      • Make sure that tags are properly displayed
  • @Marrelle has a "How to contribute" guide -> link it from a contribution page on the website: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uWcfeyuAUahsxtjPCUR3_UfdVpbhpQ1692DgWdy44Zs/edit?usp=sharing
  • ~~Vincent~~ Marrelle fixed blocker that was keeping us from showing the newsletter at /newsletter/, so now we can reform them
  • Jobs
    • Make a specific jobs page
    • Mink to it from newsletter
    • Provide a link for people to submit job postings
