Discuss Funding Backdrop Development Ideas #10

Open stpaultim opened 3 years ago

stpaultim commented 3 years ago

There has been quite a bit of interest in recent weeks about discussing different ideas and proposals for Funding Backdrop Development (this has also been referred to as "monetization"). Personally, I have on several occasions suggested that this would be a great topic for Backdrop LIVE.

The schedule for Backdrop LIVE is intended to be fairly organic and generated by the community. But, since we still lack the tools for that (they are under development), I have been playing an active role in coordinating and curating the schedule based upon requests/proposals from the community.

In trying to schedule the Funding Backdrop Development discussion, I realized two things.

1) This is an important topic that quite a few active members of the community want to be involved in and probably needs/deserves a time slot that is widely accessible to folks in different time zones.

2) Many of our possible facilitator of other topics, would like to participate in this discussion.

MY SUGGESTION:

That we place this in a special time slot that is both convenient to as many people as possible AND that does not conflict with other topics. Since we have limited number of premium time slots (wide reach across the US and Europe), I'm proposing a special time slot right before our second block of topics (11:00am Pacific Time or 8:00pm Central European Time).

Does anyone have an objection to this idea or a better suggestion for scheduling this topic?

I have penciled this topic in at 11:00am Pacific as seen here on our working schedule (still subject to change). http://bit.ly/3e5zfrN

NOTE: I also welcome ideas for someone to facilitate this topic.

This specific issue about discussing the process, not a place to discuss specific ideas. If you would like to discuss specific ideas for funding Backdrop development, I suggest an opening a new issue in the backdropcms.org issue queue.

Curious if this should live in this repo or moved to the community repo?
