Previous Month’s Action Items

Rachel

2 minutes

Repo check-in

Rachel

• 1 open pull request

  • We resolved it together!

  • See Rachel’s documentation here:

  • Rachel observed that when there is a backlog of merges to be completed, it’s more likely that there will be conflicts, so best to keep up with them

  • Question for Blake: What is best practice around deleting a branch after merging? GitHub prompts you to delete after merging, but we have been leaving them.

• Look for an email in the next week or so with info on how to sign up for Blake’s May 11 GitHub training for free.

15 minutes

Liz

• Tech/User Docs presentation April 5 at 1pm EST

• Link to proposal doc:

• Link to slides:

  • Liz’s goal is to finish the presentation by Friday in case there are any final tweaks to be made. She’ll send an email.

Plan for April TAC presentation

All

• TechDocs is scheduled to present at the April TAC meeting (Tuesday, April 11)

• Prompts:

  • Something relevant to your subteam’s workplan, like workshopping an idea, getting feedback on a decision

  • Suggestions for TAC documentation/training

  • Simply to tell us what your subteam does! Walk us through a recent agenda, talk about a recent decision, peel back the curtain on your subteam!

• What should we talk about? Notes from last meeting:

  • talk about challenges, what it means to be "rebuilding," creating documentation/resources so that you don't need to be a dev to use tech docs or to be an active/contributing member of the Tech Docs team, create more continuity within Tech Docs with our internal documentation

  • show a pull request in the repository to anchor the conversation and pull back the curtain - we could create a fake example if needed

• See overview here:

• Rachel and Jenna will divide up talking points.

Next meeting

Wednesday, May 3 at 1pm EST (Rachel away)
