Review 2018-2019 TAC Retrospective

Wanted to review our recent retrospective for new members, to keep in mind for the upcoming year, and because it relates to a few different things in this meeting.

• Start doing:

  • Standards committee or sub-team. Might be at a higher level than TAC.

  • Identify ways to foster engagement in smaller working groups to help.

• Stop doing:

  • Execution of working groups need fine tuning. Perhaps people are stretched thin in sub-teams and working groups and there should be limits.

  • Perhaps reevaluate sub-teams like Migrations and Integrations, Integrations sub-team might not need to meet monthly and Migrations might not necessarily be needed since migration paths exist.

• Keep doing:

  • Cross-council meeting was super interesting.

  • Conversation about how to encourage the community of coders as a group. Identifying issues was helpful in what we are doing (in sub-teams)

  • Having a Vice Chair. Helps with transition.

Discussion of ad hoc working groups

Brainstorming TAC meeting discussion topics

Thinking about how to make the most of our TAC meetings and building on our “how to encourage an active community of developers” conversations from last year.

Keep space in our TAC meetings for program updates, sub-team reports, and other things, but add a discussion topic. Ideas:

• Each sub-team takes a meeting. Could be used to get feedback, discuss new ideas, etc.
