Line 1: The process as I see it: * Apr ~~2 or 3~~4: OpenHatch (Danny, Asheesh, others?) write a blog post asking project leads to get involved. * April 25 or(in 3the early AM): We reddit/tweet/dent the bejesus out of that blog post. * Week of April 34: Project leads email us saying "Wow, I want to get involved in that" We pick the best ones. * April 68, or so: We have a nice set of projects involved. * April 810, or so: They have all committed to dates+times that work. * By April 811: They all email their project email lists so that the newcomers know about the fact that they're running the event. == Process == One a project says they want to be involved, we should: * Quietly check that they are a project with more than a small handful of users. ** (They should be impressive! :-) * Read their "application" email, and make sure the person seems sane. Then: # Get the person to '''commit to a date time''' and add it to the Build_it page. # Get the person to '''write an email they will send to the -users and -devel list''', and ask nicely if they are okay writing in a piratepad so we can help make it clear and friendly and link to the overall "Build it" series of events. #* If we were really nice people, we would have a template we could use. # Ask them to come up with a list of places to send the email. The -users list, the -devel list, the project blog? The more places that have prospective contributors, the better. # Get the person to '''send the email''' (and otherwise publicize the event). # Join the project's IRC channel, and idle there for a few days before and after their "Build it" event.
