STUFF FOR THIS MEETING BETWEEN THESE HEADINGS​

STUFF FOR THIS MEETING BETWEEN THESE HEADINGS​

low-ish priority stuff to get to if we have time

  • (ED) Who we are page? Some combination of a FAQ and a who is everyone. FAQ things like:
    • who's the POC for CF <> Anaconda, CF <> NumFocus, CF <> Azure
    • who's the POC for the various subteams?
    • Informal information: roles, day jobs, bios, the whole nine yards, why you're here, etc.
    • Public or internal? I don't really care either way. Anyone feel strongly one way or the other?
    • opt-in to public bios
    • software carpentry has a large number of instructors and has https://carpentries.org/instructors
    • some concern about "yet another place to keep stuff up to date"
