Program update

@Christine Di Bella

• Our new Community Engagement Coordinator Jessica started last Monday. She’s working on a number of things, including with a fifth annual forum. Narrowed down to August 2nd preliminarily. Call for participation soon.

• Working on a release. Development for human-readable urls has taken longer to make sure it’s not impacting too much of the application. Next release should have a lot of small features and bug fixes. Hopefully have a release to start testing by tomorrow. Hoping to have the release by the end of April.

Sub-team listserv addresses

• Patrick said that it would be helpful for Integrations

• @Alicia Detelich said tech docs might be interested in something like that

• @Christine Di Bella said it should be possible for the team to set up as many as needed, but please think about a private listserv, a public one, who can post to it, etc. She will send out more information to the entire TAC group.

• Will have to give @Christine Di Bella new email addresses for the next term.

• Migrations also said that it’d be useful to their group.

Nominations requested for TAC

Deadline is April 19th.

Looking for three people who are rotating off.

You need to email @Christine Di Bella in order to nominate someone. There’s a very short form to fill out.

You do not need to go through your member rep if you’re self-nominating.

Retrospective heads up/planning

• Last year, for the last TAC call, we had a TAC retrospective, which required a little homework.

• Between now and June, all subteams should have a retrospective with our teams. What went well? How could we improve? How did we meet our goals? Please add your docs to the confluence pages.

• These can be as informal or as formal as you like.
