Main Ideas
- People will begin joining in January
- Goal to get them updated to what we have already done so far
- Need to prepare documentation for them to understand what has been done
- Current Documentation [1]
- Need it to be less academic like the paper (can still have them read it) i.e. easier detail to follow
- Try to show the thought process to lead us to where we are
- Talk to Durim, Adam, and Shirish about coding aspect of this
- Writing is good, but make some getting started videos
- Show installation, deployment, how to videos for the current code base
- Mentors helps out with more specifics details than tutorials
Onboarding Load and Slack
- Assume we get 300 new people
- 15 mentors can have 15 channels
- Can add newcomers to those channels by default
- The channel is only a one month event
- After a month then the channel is gone
- Mentors encourage newcomers to go outside of this channel
Title Change
- Onboarding buddy tile instead of mentor
- Onboarding based on people’s interest
- good coding newcomers can go to the coding buddies
- Need to get wording correct on radio question asking main work of interest the newcomers have
Previous issues
- Don't know how to coordinate, how to team up, people were too busy
- Goal: Don’t let them lose the context on the project
- Direct line of communication needed
- mentors can help with this
- Direct line of communication needed
- weekly meetings dropping people cause it wasn’t available for them when they needed it
Goals this week
- Ryan: Create a forum for signing up to be a onboarding buddy
- Create a structure for the onboarding experience
- more detailed information structure
- lay out what we need so people can add to that
- meeting with research engineering people
- need to know how willing they are to create these videos
- more detailed information structure
- put expert within the documentation
- For newcomers communication: regular stuff talk to buddy, specific question talk to this expert
