* Re: Count me in @ 2019-10-17 08:49 Valeria Kaplan <[email protected]> parent: Steven Pousty <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 4 replies; 26+ messages in thread From: Valeria Kaplan @ 2019-10-17 08:49 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Steven Pousty <[email protected]>; +Cc: KEREM KIZILTUNC <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Hi Steve/All, I gave a talk at pgconf.eu about marketing and proposed an idea of having a centralised working group that will be initiating and implementing advocacy and marketing activities that will develop and strengthen Postgres brand. At the moment, Jonathan does a lot that has to do with press releases (and more..) and there is a small group of people who maintain community Twitter account where there is a lack of consistency there and need for more people. So there is a need to be a bit more structured about it and actually implement, perhaps even small changes that will help with Postgres and overall community accessibility, transparency etc. A mix of technical and marketing people would be great, so let me know who's in. Would be great to have a face to face first meeting whilst we're here in Milan and then follow up with a wider group after.

This sounds very much like what this list is actually intended to be, with a set of smaller groups who manage particular activities (Press Releases, Twitter, Updates to postgresql.org, etc). What would be different with this "working group"..? > At the moment, Jonathan does a lot that has to do with press releases (and > more..) and there is a small group of people who maintain community Twitter > account where there is a lack of consistency there and need for more > people. I agree that it'd be great to add more people to the twitter team, we had some good steam there at the start but the folks currently on that team (which includes myself) have gotten over the excitment of it, I'm afraid, and aren't being as active (though there's been some recent efforts to try and improve on that). What is the lack of consistency though? I can believe that to exist, though I suspect it's largely due to the people being busy and not as active with the account than anything intentional. > So there is a need to be a bit more structured about it and > actually implement, perhaps even small changes that will help with Postgres > and overall community accessibility, transparency etc. I'm certainly in support of making changes that will make the community more accessible, transparent, etc, though it's unclear what's specifically being suggested here. > A mix of technical and marketing people would be great, so let me know > who's in. I'd be happy to be involved (and I would think we'd probably want to at least ask the individuals who are involved in the existing teams who support the existing efforts in this area if they wish to be...), though unfortunately I wasn't able to be in Milan and can't join in person (and the meeting might have already happened now anyway?).

I will say that the PostgresOpen folks did reach out to the team to ask for tweets, and I don't recall seeing any emails asking for the same for PGConf.Eu. I don't think that should be a requirement, to be clear, and I don't think anyone on the team feels it is either, but it probably was a good reminder and put a bit of pressure on the team to do something, rather than just having an expectation that something would be done. (Note: it wasn't anyone on the team who was emailing the team asking for tweets to be done either...) In any case, since it's been raised here, I'll do what I can to help even though I wasn't able to be there. It'd certainly help if someone would send a suggested retweet or tweet to send out to [email protected] but failing that I'll try to do something tomorrow.

The idea is to have a small group that can be strategic about all the different activities that need to be done for Postgres and will be very active (have regular catch ups and follow ups, will move activities forward and so on). One of the problems with a mailing list that there is a problem that people tend to "hide" behind the list if there is a need for some action. Also, it is much easier to have a manageable size group of up to about 10 people to actually function (that's from my personal experience so maybe you'd have a different opinion on that). This is not to say that there isn't a place for advocacy mailing list and I think it actually a perfect forum to bring forward the shortlisted and structured tasks that the smaller working group come with and ask for members on the list to join a specific activites (for example the Twitter managing team , as you have now). > > At the moment, Jonathan does a lot that has to do with press releases > (and > > more..) and there is a small group of people who maintain community > Twitter > > account where there is a lack of consistency there and need for more > > people. > > I agree that it'd be great to add more people to the twitter team, we > had some good steam there at the start but the folks currently on that > team (which includes myself) have gotten over the excitment of it, I'm > afraid, and aren't being as active (though there's been some recent > efforts to try and improve on that).

Planning content ahead would help (with events etc. it's actually pretty straight forward), but also to make sure that if somebody is busy and can't do it there is a process in place to replace that person and get help from somebody else. So in my view the working group would come up with an activity and guidelines but for the implementation one will need a dedicated subgroup who will focus on that activity only. Since we all do this in an open source manner (for free) each single one of us can't be expected to do many activities. This will help to break the activities into bite size pieces. > > So there is a need to be a bit more structured about it and > > actually implement, perhaps even small changes that will help with > Postgres > > and overall community accessibility, transparency etc. > > I'm certainly in support of making changes that will make the community > more accessible, transparent, etc, though it's unclear what's > specifically being suggested here. > > It is about education probably more than anything. Will give you just one example, following my talk I've been approached by a member of the community asking me how they could get funding for a local meetup - form what I know you just need to ask, however, it's not clear from the website or if that information is there it's not easy to find.

Unfortunately there isn't a public list that I'm aware of (I've actually pushed for that in some discussions in the past; in particular, I believe it'd be good to have something similar to: https://www.debian.org/intro/organization ). The closest that we have to a formal list of who is on what team is the membership on the relevant mailing lists (... most of which are private, and we don't disclose membership explicitly anyway). There's some teams we have where we duplicate the list membership (I believe anyway, I've not specifically verified it) between the list system and the .Org website (thinking of Core and Coc here as examples). This would also go towards improving things around recognition of contributions to the project, especially when those contributions are not code and therefore don't get recognized through our git history. > The idea is to have a small group that can be strategic about all the > different activities that need to be done for Postgres and will be very > active (have regular catch ups and follow ups, will move activities forward > and so on).

I tend to agree with the concerns about "regular/open" mailing lists, and that each team should work to have a cadence of some kind, with reports being made to a larger body. This was attempted at the PGCon Developer meeting earlier this year, though with an attempt to go across all of the teams we have in the project (notes available here: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PgCon_2019_Developer_Meeting ). Teams were reached out to asked to provide a name or two to join the meeting and then provide an update to all the other individuals invited to that meeting, notionally to the project leadership in the form of Core and the committers. What's being discussed here sounds like an attempt to add a level between the annual PGCon meeting (presuming it continues in a similar fashion next year... I don't know if it will, or not) and the various specific teams (web, twitter, et al). A more formal "advocacy" team which has actual/regular meetings and works across the different platforms to send a consistent message and has a higher touch frequency than an annual meeting. There's value in that in a couple ways. First is that advocacy should certainly be a discussion that's ongoing throughout the year, and an annual touchpoint isn't frequent enough. Second, the overall advocacy team could provide a single report to the annual meeting and that might be more efficient for that meeting (there's only one spot in the agenda for that as recorded, though my recollection is that there was some difficulty figuring out who from what team should be invited and asked to provide an update as there's a number of different teams with different individuals on them, not all of whom know what's going on with the other teams..). Having each of the working-level teams ("working groups"?) having to regularly report up to another group would also hopefully encourage them to have their own regular meetings and take more responsibility to ensure that things are happening. > This is not to say that there isn't a place for advocacy mailing list and I > think it actually a perfect forum to bring forward the shortlisted and > structured tasks that the smaller working group come with and ask for > members on the list to join a specific activites (for example the Twitter > managing team , as you have now). Sure, I can agree with that, and the middle-level group being discussed above could also be tasked to provide regular reports or meeting minutes to this list. > > > At the moment, Jonathan does a lot that has to do with press releases > > (and > > > more..) and there is a small group of people who maintain community > > Twitter > > > account where there is a lack of consistency there and need for more > > > people. > > > > I agree that it'd be great to add more people to the twitter team, we > > had some good steam there at the start but the folks currently on that > > team (which includes myself) have gotten over the excitment of it, I'm > > afraid, and aren't being as active (though there's been some recent > > efforts to try and improve on that).

We had been pretty good about planning content ahead and using tweetdeck to effect that, but that does dry up eventually and there was some concern that we were running out of good content for things like the #TalkTuesday and #FeatureFriday items. While the twitter team might be able to come up with some novel content, that has a much higher level of effort associated with it and if we have folks creating novel content then we should be thinking about if there's multiple ways to push that content out rather than just from one team. > Since we all do this in an open source manner (for free) each single one of > us can't be expected to do many activities.

I agree, though this gets into a larger topic regarding things like Meetup.com and the community NPOs, since there's expenses, potentially contracts/agreements, et al, that have to be managed when it comes to a Meetup. I'd love to have a better interface between the NPOs and those activities and the project itself though and perhaps this is a way to make that happen. > > > A mix of technical and marketing people would be great, so let me know > > > who's in. > > > > I'd be happy to be involved (and I would think we'd probably want to at > > least ask the individuals who are involved in the existing teams who > > support the existing efforts in this area if they wish to be...), though > > unfortunately I wasn't able to be in Milan and can't join in person (and > > the meeting might have already happened now anyway?). > > The meeting is later today, I'll add you in. Thanks. > If you can point me onto lists of people who are already doing advocacy > activities please do. I just don't have this information at hand. Jonathan provided the update at the PGCon meeting and I understand he'll be at the meeting, so you might chat with him about it. The teams at a high level include at least: Twitter team, PGWeb team, Press team, and one might be able to argue that some others would make sense to include too (community conference teams, planet team, sponsors team, jobs team, maybe even other list moderation teams?). > We miss you here in Milan :( I miss all of you as well and hope to see everyone again soon!

Agree, something like that would be great. Yeah, I don't think it'd actually be all that hard to add support for pulling that information from the PGLister system to populate a webpage on the main site (of course, Magnus will probably correctly point out that those are different systems and it won't be as easy as I'm suggesting, etc, and then someone else will complain that maybe not everyone on a given mailing list should be listed as a member of that 'team', and then we'll get some additional bikeshedding happening...).

Well, it's only happened once so far that advocacy was explicitly brought up as a topic and included/reported on. :) I'd like that to continue, as I feel it's an important part of project maintenance, but that meeting is pretty difficult to work out who should/shouldn't be there and we can't really make it a larger group than it is without it becoming quite difficult to actually manage the discussion. > > > This is not to say that there isn't a place for advocacy mailing list > > and I > > > think it actually a perfect forum to bring forward the shortlisted and > > > structured tasks that the smaller working group come with and ask for > > > members on the list to join a specific activites (for example the Twitter > > > managing team , as you have now). > > > > Sure, I can agree with that, and the middle-level group being discussed > > above could also be tasked to provide regular reports or meeting minutes > > to this list. > > > I'm planning to put our minutes on wiki once they are finalised. Ok, thanks. Let's try to focus on specific, actionable, tasks and then get assignment made for them- and let's try to make sure we include relevant individuals from the NPOs too when it comes to things like meetup.com and such.
