Agenda

1) Feedback on latest Drumbeat project ideas:
a. An effort to use data visualization to help people understand the web.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/Challenges/Visualize_the_Web
b. A series of peer-2-peer courses on open web technologies.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/Challenges/p2pu
c. An open source 'movie' about the web by the web.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/Challenges/webmademovie

2) Your feedback on the latest "Project Page" design
As we've talked about before, these project pages are the most important to try and get right. They're where the collaboration and "magic" will happen. We tried to incorporate previous feedback into this latest wire-frame design here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/website/page_descriptions#Latest_Iteration

What do you think? Is it intuitive? Will people use it?
How can we make it better? What should we try in the next iteration?

3) Your feedback on the Project Submission Page
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/website/project_submission_page
This is the page on the web site that spells out the process for submitting your own project to Drumbeat. We're drafting a) site copy, and b) potential diagram napkin sketches to help spell out the story visually.

The draft that's there now is about 50% baked, so could really use some feedback.

Do the general approach and headline sections make sense?
What feels like it's missing? What can we cut?
Before sending them to design, how can we make the diagram drafts better?

4) Project Submission Template
As Mark mentioned, we've been working on the set of fields we'll be asking people to fill in to flesh out their Drumbeat project ideas.

What do you think of the draft template here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/website/project_submission_form

What fields might be missing? What's something you'd want to know about a project that isn't covered here?
How do we make filling out this process easier and more intuitive?

5) House-keeping
Can someone help figure out how to add audio recording files of these calls to the wiki?

I'll look into this now Matt.

We may also want to request that a new 'drumbeat.org' component be setup under Product 'Websites'
on bugzilla.mozilla.org ?

Hey y'all

I don't know if I'm just a moron or what, but I have only been able to get into chat once and can't seem to repeat the feat.
