 Okay. And we are live. All right, this is Todd Moore. Let's open the Open JS Foundation board meeting for March 26, 2021. Brian, please take us through the agenda. Okay, great. Welcome everybody. On the screen we have the Open JS Foundation board directory. This is still the same as it was last time, but just, if you weren't tuned into the last meeting, we now have Sarah Chips on the board. We choose our CPC director. So welcome, Sarah. Our agenda for today. We've got some meeting minutes to approve. We need to approve both January and February. We'll have a certification update. Our CPC directors will give us an update on what's been going on on the CPC. And then Rachel will take us through the marketing update. Anybody have anything you'd like to add to the agenda? All right, let's get going. All right. So first off, we have the meeting minutes from January. Distributed to the board here a little while ago. Would somebody like to make a motion to adopt the January meeting minutes? Motion to approve. Thank you, Todd. Do we have a second? Second. Okay. Great. Thank you, Sarah. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Any abstains? Okay. Motion carries. Thank you. January's adopted. And let's move on to February. Would somebody like to make a motion to adopt the February meeting minutes? From the public? Great. Thank you, Charlie. Do you have a second? Second. I heard Michael. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Any abstains? Okay. Thank you. February meeting minutes are adopted. Moving on to the event update. Robin, would you like to take us through this? Sure, absolutely. If you recall from last month, we moved our date to June 2nd. Just because there is another wonderful event happening on the other date, June 9th. So we are locked on June 2nd. But in case you missed it, we also announced our 2022 date, which will be a hybrid event. It will be in Austin, Texas, plus virtual. So that will be lots of fun as well. And just want to give you all an update on our schedule. We had so many wonderful submissions for content. We have our program committee who's been going through all of them. Their date slipped just a couple of weeks because there's been a lot of great stuff to read. So we are going to be notifying you all if you have submitted a CFP at the end of this month, March. And then mid April, we will put publish the schedule on our website. And then a week out, if you all are presenting, you'll have your recordings due for our event. And if you haven't already, we've really asked that you would register for a register for the event. So if you have any questions, it helps so we can just give you a quick reminder and share any cool updates that we may have. So I know the program committee is working on a number of fun ideas. Any questions or additions? Team that I missed. Okay. Moving on to certification. Yeah, we still continue to have to have a lot of interest in our, not just our certification program. We also have a training program that supports that. Recently we announced a free training and we've just had a really wonderful response to our free training program. We do offer discounts for open JS members. I have them highlighted there, but really I encourage you all to sort of watch our Twitter handle watch the node Twitter handle and blogs. We frequently have some sales throughout the year. And so those are always great to have. We also have a corporate subscription program. And kind of a partner program as well. So if you're interested, please reach out to me and I can help you get plugged into that. So Robin, we, we now have thousands of people signed up into the free training. We have 5,000 in a short month. Yeah. That's, that's a big uptake quickly. Great. Good job. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for promoting it. Yeah. Dave Clements has really helped develop that program. It's really fun. He's, he's a really great instructor. If you've watched any of his sessions. Dave and Adrian Estrada also have done some AMAs. That are on our YouTube site. So if you really want some more tips and tricks. We have more of that on our website and our YouTube channel. I'm just dropping these off and I'd like to get three sheets. Hello, John. It would, it would be nice to share a link obviously with. The recording on, on, on YouTube, but. And if there's anything you need us to do to continue to promote. Periodically. Yeah. I think a lot of us are happy to continue to promote what's going on here. Great. We will do. We, we will do that. We will do that. We will do that. We will do that. We, I know we send our little Friday reminders. To the CPC and to the board. So. That would be fantastic. And those who are watching this, if you could also let others know that this is, this happening, it would be great. Okay. Any other comments or questions? All right. Moving on CPC update. Michael and Sarah. Yeah. Sorry. We're still on the JS land. Sorry. Here we go. Let's see. Actually, we've got a few slides here on JavaScript land. Robert, would you like to. Yeah, I'll just jump right into JavaScript land. We launched the program mid December. We have over 250 supporters to date. If you've gone on to join, you know, you get your little JS. JavaScript land. We are in the process of developing badges for all of our projects. All 37. So when our conference comes, we will have a really cool passport. For you to collect. As many stamps that your fans of, if you're a member of JavaScript land. Yeah. So that'll be great to see. After we kind of get through our conference. If you're interested in your project, not in open JS, we'd still welcome you to the land of JavaScript land. Yeah. So reach out to us if you're interested as well. Okay. And Rachel, you had a cool little update on the program. So one of the benefits to being an individual supporter is you get a really great newsletter curated by Jory. And we sent out our first one on our new platform. Which is why the, the stats look a little different than what we're used to seeing. But I was really pleasantly surprised with our, our open rates and our click through rates and things like that. I wanted to note. That an average email open rate is between 15 and 25%. And we got up to 65%, which is just great. I mean, it's just shows the engagement and the enthusiasm for the program and for the foundation. Same thing with click through rates. So the average is about 2.5%. And we got up to almost 19%. So again, a highly engaged group. And we'll, we'll continue to do these newsletters monthly or so. Okay. Now moving on to the CPC updates. Sorry about that. I got the slides out of order. Okay. So that no project related updates this week that this, this month on the collaboration network. Front. We still have the, the package manager, the package vulnerability management reporting. Collaboration spaces. The first one that's going to be kicked off. There's been some work on, you know, putting together a kickoff blog post and setting up an initial meeting. So, you know, there's been a lot of, you know, There are a few other signs of interest for some others, but nothing to report on, on that front to this, this month. So back to Sarah. Great. No new charter changes. Since our last meeting, I need more approval. As far as ongoing work on the CPC. We're having some ongoing DEI conversations. About how we can best support the project. And I think we're going to be able to, we're going to be able to, we're going to be able to, we're going to be able to, you know, We've been talking about, you know, some of the other conversations about how we can best support the projects by identifying any needs that we have as a, on the project level, the organization level, and identifying resources to help them. We've been talking to the folks at chaos. Thanks to Robin who've done some really amazing work, identifying ways to promote diversity within open source. need to collaborate on efforts and costs. So we'll keep giving updates on that. We also talked about the Collaborator Summit, that's been a great event that we've held in the past. This year being different, the discussion was around doing it online doesn't seem like having the same benefit as it did in person and for now we're going to not do it at the same time as OpenJS Summit and revisit it sometime in the fall. Lastly, the group has been doing work to rename the primary branch in our repositories to main. A lot of work Sandil has done on behalf of the organization, huge thanks there. The OpenJS repositories have been updated and next steps there are sending out a template to the project so they can also do the same. You have an idea of when that will all conclude the efforts across that. That actually I think is going to vary a lot from project to project. We had one project who already responded saying, hey, as an update we've already renamed them all. I know I've been keeping a close eye on the work in the Node.js repo, we have something I think is between one and 200 repos. Some are fairly straightforward, so we've moved over 10, 15. So in part there is a volume thing and in part there, there's a few where we have a lot of automation, a lot of CI interpands. So for example, for the Node.core repo, there's a lot more to think about. So I think for the projects that have a lot of repos like Node, it's probably going to stretch out to be many months as we sort of slowly tick off the easier ones and then come back to the harder ones. Okay. So is there anything that we need to do as a board to be in support of us and any help or allocated resources or anything that would move this along or help you guys? Nothing comes to mind immediately. It's often for the ones that are complicated it basically takes somebody having the time to look at the CI jobs and convince themselves that everything is going to be okay. In terms of like figuring out the list of repos that you need to do something for, we've already got a fairly simple script we've shared with the different projects that you can use to run to get a checklist. So nothing comes to mind. If there is, I'll bring it back. I think just certainly the support that this is a good thing to do, which is the message we're sending through the CPC as well as one of the helpful things. All right, very good. Well, if you need anything, just make sure you ask. Yeah, and if for anybody who's listening, if you have ideas of things you think that will, could be done or support that could be added, just feel free to reach out to me or Sarah to bring that back. Okay, any other questions for the CPC directors? All right, let's move on to the marketing update. Rachel, would you like to take us through it? I was muted. Okay, great, thanks, Brian. So here are our OpenJS Foundation blog metrics. We, back in the beginning of March, we did a virtual panel with some of the folks that we had at Node Plus JS Interactive in 2019 and we brought those folks back together and did a, you know, basically another panel talking about, you know, where did we land on some of our JavaScript trends? We'll get into more of that as far as how that video performed, but we did turn that into a blog post. We try to, anytime we create some content on video, we try to also repurpose that on the blog and they usually perform really well. So really excited to get that out. We're about on, we're a little bit below where we typically are for blog views. Not too much, it's not too much below, but just slightly below. I foresee that evening out here as we get through the rest of the month with some of the other cool stuff that we have coming down the line. Any questions on blog metrics? Okay, if nothing, we can hit the next slide, which I think is a website. So for our website, we're slightly down this month, but again, it's pretty even with where we've been. Referral traffic tends to be our most popular channel with node topping the top channel for referral. So not too much has changed some shuffle in the top 10, but seeing some pretty similar things as previous months. Any questions? Hearing none, we can go to the next slide. So for Twitter, we did see a little bit of a spike around the 20, the 26, and that was actually a tweet around the free node course. So certification and training continues to be a really popular topic as seen in a lot of our social metrics. The spike there for our Twitter tweets for the day, that was our panel. So typically another thing that we like to do is live tweet anytime that we're going live for these kinds of community conversations, Q&As, things like that. Our sentiment continues to be over 90, which is fantastic. Love to see that. And then here are just some miscategorized tweets that got caught up in the sentiment filter that weren't necessarily negative on our brand. Although, with the things that are happening in the Asian community, I can see that obviously being put into the negative sentiment. Any questions? One thing I do want to mention just generally is we are gonna be switching over to a new metric tool for social. So next time we all meet, the graphs are gonna look a little bit different. We should be reporting out on essentially the same things, but it's gonna look slightly different, just FYI, nothing to be alarmed about. If no questions on Twitter, we can go to the next slide, which is linked in. I do wanna point out that we did see a dip in published engagement. However, last month we were up like 550%. So we're continuing to grow, just sometimes these month over month metrics can be a little bit, I don't know, they can be a little bit misleading. So I just wanted to provide that context. We continue to average between six and 10% follower increases. So we're continuing on that trend. And our sentiment continues to be 100%. I do have to point out that the dates on here, the LinkedIn January 22nd, that's incorrect. This is from the 23rd of February to March 24th, just to clarify. Any questions on LinkedIn? Awesome. Hearing none, we can go to YouTube. Okay, so for YouTube, slightly down for this month, typically we do hit about over 2,000 views. I think that as we continue to do more live Q&As, which we have a few of those coming up, this will probably continue that trend. I do wanna touch on the number two video for the month was the JavaScripts Trends Panel, which included folks who previously participated in an OpenJS event. And it performed really, really well. It's something that we are considering doing quarterly. We're not sure if it's going to be a Trends Panel or if it's just gonna be a broader JavaScript text slash industry type topic. So more to come on that, but it was a great experiment and everyone had a really good time. So glad to see that in the top five videos for the month for sure. Any questions on YouTube or any of the video content that we're doing? Well, so in terms of new video content, obviously we're running a survey right now for the future of Node. Is that going to turn into video content in the near future? That is the plan. We are in talks with that team on doing a live Q and A based on the results of that survey. So... Yeah, I think the community at large would be really interested in interacting in something like that. Absolutely, I 100% agree. Very good, thank you. Yeah, any other questions or comments? Hearing none, I think that brings me to the end. Okay, great. That brings us to the end of our agenda as well. Does anybody have anything else they would like to add for today? Just the usual thank you to the team for pulling things together both. Obviously we're making good progress as a community. We've got quite a bit going now on with the courses that are available to people. And I think you guys have done a great job again. So really do appreciate it, thank you. Great, yeah, thanks to everyone here. And yeah, so much work being done at the project level as well, it's really exciting to see. Very good, so let's call the board meeting to a close. Thank you all. Great, thanks all. Thanks.
