Agenda

• Creating community dashboards
  • http://arewegrowingyet.com is live
  • Phase 1 of Conversion tracking for coding contributors matched inquiries with Hg commits
    • Caveats:
      • This is a conversion point that's deep in the funnel so high drop-off is expected
      • This system undercounts since we require the same email in inquiry and in Hg access and this only looks at entry points from the Get Involved page
      • This only looks at the Hg repo -- we can add Github and other repos later if needed
  • Phase 2 add in Bugzilla data to conversion funnel
    • Mockup of a complete funnel dashboard
  • Conversion point changes to discuss
    • Add 'Checking in your own code to repo' as step to match Hg commit access data
    • Have some conversion points now where not sure of data source -- maybe those aren't needed?
  • Making coding dashboards public (bug 771581)
    • Next steps: Review PR and privacy issues raised last year
  • Access to Metrics API (bug 729703) and overlap with Bugzilla_Anthropology

• Academic institutions
  • Reviving the mozilla.education newsgroup
  • Status of student-project keyword
  • Creating a case study that would promote this work and make it easier to duplicate?

• Tools
  • How to make use of http://whatcanidoformozilla.org/

• Job descriptions
  • Coding Community Manager
  • Education Community Manager

• Using community dashboards
  • Measure effectiveness of first patch approved email when conversion tracking in place
  • Contributor survey once we have information about conversion path

• Expanding representation at this meeting
  • B2G: Anyone else?
  • Fennec: Lucas and anyone else?
  • Devtools, webapps, others?
  • Creating a cross-product coding contribution opportunity entry page? Similar to Webdev Get Involved page

Action Items

• David to take changes to conversion points back to Metrics and find out timing on phase 2 for adding in Bugzilla data to funnel

• David to invite someone from Metrics to join to discuss specific questions we had about dashboard

• David to move forward with the review process for patch dashboards and others are welcome to help if they'd like
