Thanks for your feedback Rosalia.
Some of the Core Contributors have recently started sharing their reports.
- Blaze posts his “My madness” on a daily basis since two weeks back
- Illu posts his weekly report on the forum since a month back, you can find a summary here
- Zarmade and Sarah also recently posted their first reports on SayAlot
For my own part I have four thoughts
- I’ve been using the daily standup / office hours meeting that I host almost every weekday to report on what happened the previous day and what I’m working on. The meeting minutes from that meeting has served as my “report” to date. Find Q1 here and Q2 here (note that last week’s notes are still being processed and will be added shortly)
- We hold a community update every Tuesday and I’ve been either the host or at least a speaker on the agenda every single week (I think I missed one). The slides are made public and are available for the record.
- As part of each of my retroactive bounties I’ve added a rationale, much like everyone else. It’s always been published along with everyone else’s, every time a bounty has been paid.
- I’ve been thinking about also following the same example of Blaze and Illu and also add a weekly report in addition to the daily standup. I’ll take your comments as a clear signal that this would be appreciated, so will make a commitment to do my best to post one every so often, I’ll aim for bi-weekly. I’ll spend some time later this weekend summarizing the work I’ve done in the last month and post it on SayAlot.
Those of you who know me will also know that I’m one of the biggest advocates for building in the open. I always encourage meetings to be scheduled with open invitations rather than limited groups. I’ve put in place a program for us to always have a dedicated note taker in every meeting, and to publish the notes openly. We recently started experimenting with either recording and/or adding an AI notetaker for even better record keeping. So it’s not like what we’ve been doing is any secret at all. If my four bullets above isn’t enough, there is plenty of evidence of my participation and contribution, and that if all other contributors, in those meeting minutes. We build in the open.
Having said this, I’ll start adding a bi-weekly report to my routine, as my personal summary and journal on SayAlot. I also encourage all Contributors to do the same.
