WOW followup plan

[abbycabs]

I can own this if everyone is okay with that
👷 ✏️ 📖

owner: @acabunoc
to consult: @zee-moz @auremoser

General ideas:

• set broad milestones (global sprint, run a local sprint, get on Collaborate) - cohort wide. Rough dates:

  • Collaborate launch: March 2016
  • Local event: March - April 2016
  • Global sprint: ~May 2016

• bi-weekly (every two weeks) check-ins with each project -- @acabunoc & @auremoser

  • we can divvy this up in the way that makes the most sense once we know what projects we have

• set individualized action items at each meeting

  • possible action items:
    • meet with this designer/project manager/other help we can provide
    • write contributor guidelines
    • submit a pull request for feature X to be reviewed by [mentor]
    • launch feature X
    • find X number of users to test out the feature / product
    • talk to X number of users - get input on your project
    • meet with X potential collaborators
    • book a location for the global sprint
    • meet with Arliss about your sprint
    • put together a communication plan to advertise sprint

• put together generic timeline of action items to work off of / create individualized goals

  • 12- 16 weeks of followup (depending on when global sprint is)
  • 6 - 8 check-ins + 1 post-global sprint check-in

Requirements to get on Collaborate

Some of these documents will be constantly changing as you work on your project. Don't worry about having a perfect Roadmap or README before you launch on Collaborate!

1. project on GitHub
2. open LICENSE
3. readable README
4. Issues teased out in the issue tracker
   • Have "good first bugs"
5. CONTRIBUTING.md: contributor guidelines
   • with a way to get in touch with the team
   • and a Code of Conduct
6. Roadmap: development status
   • at least a stub
7. Mentorship: be ready to give quick feedback and engage with contributors

Study Group Ideas

Some modifications here for study group projects, modeled after the "General Ideas" above and the issues in the WOW repo.

Sounds like we need to review this in our Pathways discussion for WOWs, mentorship, OLTS. Shall I set up a mtg for us to discuss this? Anyone else need to be in on the discussion at this point?

Just sent an invite for this mtg :)
