05:01:46 <kavit> #topic Community Survey team discussion/next steps
05:02:12 <rolandchan> I've drafted a survey and put it in the Google Docs folder.
05:02:48 <rolandchan> it's a google form, just because I found that convenient. I imagine we'll use surveymonkey or whatever in real life

05:03:50 <kavit> are we looking for feedback for the survey
05:03:52 <kavit> ?
05:04:05 <rolandchan> it's very basic: gender, sexuality, country of birth, country of residence.
05:04:32 <rolandchan> I think we are asking for feedback.
05:04:47 <kavit> ok cool
05:05:26 <rolandchan> hopefully that will be consolidated by the next meeting and we can go talk to the Foundation staff about distribution of the survey.
05:06:14 <rolandchan> Some of the survey is redundant with respect to the existing Foundation membership DB, but I'm not concerned about that.
05:07:23 <kavit> are all questions mandatory?
05:07:43 <rolandchan> I don't think we can do that.
05:07:52 <kavit> people maynot want a bunch of people on the internet to know their sexuality for example
05:08:05 <rolandchan> Well.. that's something we need to discuss with the foundation.
05:08:24 <rolandchan> None of responses can ever be associated with personally identifiable information.
05:08:54 <rolandchan> I would hope that the various survey engines we can use will ensure that this is done.
05:09:19 <rolandchan> So the survey email needs to be very clear on the privacy aspect.
05:11:05 <rolandchan> That's it for me. Hopefully people will review my survey doc and respond in the next meeting. I will then process the feedback and engage the Foundation (Lauren?) to fire the survey out to the Foundation mailling list.
05:11:35 <rolandchan> which list should we use BTW? Foundation Members? Community Members? I'm not clear on the difference.
05:12:14 <kavit> community and foundation lists both
05:12:19 <rolandchan> Hmm. Community Members I think.
05:12:28 <kavit> but not the board
05:12:32 <rolandchan> hehe
05:12:37 <rolandchan> yes, both.
05:13:04 <rolandchan> ok. I'm done then.
05:14:16 <kavit> #topic geographic diversity team
05:14:34 <kavit> I guess we are waiting for survey results here?
05:14:46 <rolandchan> pretty much.
05:17:15 <kavit> I want to increase participation
05:17:31 <rolandchan> yep
05:17:40 <kavit> I can reach out to the various user groups to have more geo diverse members to the committee
05:18:32 <rolandchan> I mentioned writing to the board in an earlier meeting, but I think writing to the Gold Sponsors will give us better reach. We can ask them to spread the word in their organisations.
05:19:10 <rolandchan> Asking for people who want to work on community building.
05:19:38 <rolandchan> Have we had a report from the ambassadors? it was on the agenda for a while, but seems to have dropped off. I don't recall seeing anything
05:30:41 <kavit> no report from Ambassadors
05:30:49 <kavit> I will chase it up
05:31:09 <kavit> I dont have anything else to discuss
05:31:54 <rolandchan> me either.
