Project Meeting Notes, 2017 09 21 PST

• Project Updates
  • Major improvements over the summer, and from GSoC
  • Rubicon might be ready for a 1.0
• GSoC
  • Overall net positive
  • Initial triage of students felt slightly overwhelming - need better process for next year (Thanks to Elias for help!)
  • We should encourage the three students who finished to continue - might require semi-constant prodding, maybe Philip is interested?
• Talks/Resources
  • We want to be encouraging BeeWare in our local groups - do we have a repo of talk notes/resources for doing so?
• Money
  • What's the next step for getting funding into BeeWare?
  • Should we look at grant-based projects at universities and see if we can meet them?
  • Mobile development story is critical, it's fine for other platforms to "lag"
    • VoC is maybe too slow to be realistic - should be priority?
    • Beginner development focus should shift from batavia to toga
    • Colosseum also needs more love and polish
• Project Organization
  • Need to get a stack-ranked list of what to work on next
  • Need a list of critical volunteers to watch out for - java/android experience, CSS engine experience, etc.
  • "How can we get things out of Russell's head?"
    • "Project Owners" for various projects
