  • 2 proposal drafts received for project ideas:

  • Org admins work on template for grading. Initial draft created, will solicit past mentors for feedback, should this be done via PR?

    • Answer: No, posting on communities/jenkins.io on mentor channel is sufficient [MW]
    • JMM: We need to figure out how to deal with ties and define guidelines for acceptance or not during the grading process.
  • cdCon 2022

    • Jenkins contributor summit - eta Friday, June 10. Officially announce next wk.
    • Let’s plan to start planning April 1
    • There was a suggestion of doing a hybrid contributor summit because cdCon is a hybrid event. MW suggest we stick with local contributor summit because AT and MW will be there locally, plus there will be a good # of local participants attending the conference. Perhaps consider a remote contributor summit a few weeks later.
