Status & blockers
- Pradyun: better than last week.
- has had a few calls with Bernard re pip output. Productive. just not enough hours in the day
TP & Paul and Pradyun having discussions about performance, reducing how much we hit the network. Pradyun will probably make a rough draft of what he & Bernard are discussing.
TODO: actually adding flag for rollout. Including filing a flag for it. -- DONE https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8937
- Nicole:
been continuing to conduct user interviews. blocker: no-shows
not unusual. Also: had an interview where we talked about pip wheel and would like to better understand (talk with Pradyun). - now promoting the survey on pip install. numbers are good - response rate and promoting/outreach seems to be working! "buy a feature" - waded into Reddit, may not do that again.
- Sumana: disclaimer that she doesn't know about efficacy of Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, Hacker News
- Nicole will continue wading into Reddit.
- Pradyun suggests: a big Python Discord (pythondiscord.com)
Georgia suggests: newsletter & blog post generated a lot of attention -- let's also look back through tweets, see whether a particular person RTing helped a lot. Let's collect meta-info on what works well.
- Nicole: to collect in UX notes about effective UX research.
- TODO: Georgia to give Sumana access to the resolver survey (needs to check on permissions) -- eventually DONE via Bernard sharing in another medium
- TODO: Pradyun to look at the resolver survey a few times a week to check for actual bugs that need followup -- in progress
- Georgia:
- juggling a lot. Working on giving Ernest tweets in a useful way. May just give Ernest a weekly tweet to send. Ernest says that is okay.
- Also, Georgia to send contract amendment to extend to Dec.
