Sorry. Last question I asked so on behalf of one of our team member who was asking if you can enable Persian for x blocks version 4x blocks, Harun X blocks you have a limited languages right. And if you can add the new languages, maybe he's able to find a reviewer.
Yeah. If you have a dedicated review, we can add it to our list of languages.
Okay. Let me speak to him afterwards is one of the technical team as well.
Do you mind sharing the engineer his name, asking about that? Imad? Mod. Yeah, I believe I reviewed a couple of STRS his scores is fine. Okay. We have a I think he's faced a bug that prevented the translations from from appearing. So but yeah, I believe the new project if you have if there's a maintainer, I guess we can Well, that's upgrading but I guess we can just add that I mean version. So yeah, please let us know before the migration, so we don't miss that. If it's a highly translated and has a main maintainer. We should make sure that it's migrated.
Okay, let me talk to him afterwards. He can be the maintainer or someone else.
Okay. Thank you so much, everyone. I really appreciate your time and we will see each other again in a month, but we'll communicate asynchronously via slack. Thanks, everyone, talks to us. Thank you. Bye bye. Hi.
I just realized that the translation working group, the marketing Working Group have the same Google Hangout link. So
sorry about that. For those of you
didn't think I was an expert. He did not translation
how are you? Good. How are you? Good. Great. Okay, so let me allow everyone into the meeting. Okay. How was everyone's holidays with you? Hi, everyone. Good morning. Hi, Harrison. How are you? I'm doing good. Thank you. Okay, I'm in the process of pulling up the agenda could be one moment here.
Can everyone see my screen? Yes. Okay. Excellent. All right. So I posted the agenda here also in the marketing channel. So feel free to access it there. So one exciting news. We will be attending the Learning Technologies conference in London in just a few months. We've discussed it in this forum a few times regarding partner interest in participating at the Open edX exhibition booth where this event is going to be a very large event. Over 20,000 attendees. We have a very nice we are securing a very nice exhibition space near some presentation rooms. So the finalized list of partners who will co sponsor this event with us our abstract technology at least by average soft and raccoon gang. So we're very excited for this event and we'll be sharing with this group. Some of the updates that we found in terms of just the overall analysis of the competitive landscape there'll be a lot of our competitors will be present there as well. So it will be a great opportunity for us to do some on site scoping as it relates to those points. Yeah, any questions about this? No. Okay. Then, regarding the Open edX conference, by the way, we were looking for members of the community to help us plan the conference. We have some members of this group who are actively engaged in our weekly conference. planning meetings. If you are interested in supporting the planning of the conference, please let us know we can add you to the planning meetings they occur weekly. If you are interested, you do not have to attend the meetings weekly, but you know as time permits, if you're interested in actively being involved, and helping making the next conference a great success. The call for proposals closes today. So today is the last day you will have an opportunity to submit a presentation proposal. If you have clients particular use cases that you think are worth highlighting at the conference. please communicate with them as well as this a few times in this forum. I think some of you have launched email campaigns to your clients. To see if they're interested in presenting. Yeah, if you have use cases, today's the last day that you can submit them or your clients can submit them, but it would be great if you can help us promote the CFP closing on your social media or any forums so that we get as many proposals as possible. The other thing that we're working on is a business development workshop. And this is a workshop that will be showcased on the first day of the conference, Tuesdays in which we generally have workshops and proposals. And we have a few providers partners that are assisting us in the planning of this workshop. So the current list of participants are app sembler abstract technology, open craft and chinext at spirit and Edley by Avi soft. We have our second planning meeting or sorry, no third planning meeting this Friday. And the idea behind this workshop is to create an interactive forum in which we discuss the Open edX platforms, global competitive standing compared to its main competitors, and then tie that into the open edX roadmap based on the providers experiences of the various buyer personas, when community communicating with customers about the potential for adopting the platform, and as well as customer feedback in regards to why they choose to configure the Open edX platform or why perhaps they do not choose to configure the platform and the reasons for not choosing. So we'll be doing interactive, SWOT have the audience to SWOT analysis based on their experience and then share our findings as part of this workshop. And the first part of the workshop. The competitive landscape analysis will be covered by assembler, open craft edge Unix and Edley. And then, like spirit and abstract technology, we'll take the time to analyze the Open edX roadmap and work with Jenna in terms of how this ties into what we have currently prioritized on the workshop based on consumer demand.
Any questions about this? Yes.
Hi my question about the proposals when will the team provide approval or or not? I know today's the deadline for submission.
Yes, today is the deadline. That's a good question. Douglas today is the deadline and the review process will take about three weeks. Okay, so in about three weeks, we should make an announcement regarding acceptance and there was a question that came up in the marketing channel in regards to why the deadline came up so soon. One of the reasons why we decided to do that is because some speakers require presentation acceptance prior to getting approval to attending the conference or presenting at a given conference so it gives enough time to acquire visa so make proper accommodations to be able to present at the conference. However, if we do find that we did not receive enough proposals by this particular deadline, we may actually extend the deadline to allow not by very long perhaps, you know, by a week or two to get additional proposals and then that would delay the announcement but I will keep this group updated in regards to the announcement timeframe. I don't know. Nico, if it was discussed today, if we're extending the CFP at all based on what you heard in this morning's planning meeting.
As far as I understood, they will not extend
that line. Okay,
for now exactly.
Okay, so. Okay, so if that's the case, then the announcements should be made in about three weeks. Thank you, no problem. Any other questions? Regarding the CFP.
I think Cecilia raised her hand since you
will the outline for the business workshop we put together last time submitted for review as well or this is a guaranteed spot and
no the Business Development Workshop is guaranteed. So we are 100% moving forward so there's no there's no need to approve this particular workshop. The content in itself, the only content component that internally they would like to review is the component that you're covering with Stefania about the Open edX roadmap in alignment with consumer demand. So Jana will review the content that you have created with you and provide additional feedback for context. That
largely depends on the previous findings like what nginx and open craft has, has provided for us because they were like, latest training, learning technologies impact on us also the competitor analysis SWOT analysis, because without that part two, we cannot develop anything meaningful. And with a current Open edX roadmap and it's more in the in the product or technical feature aspects. I feel it will be very, very boring if you were trying to you know extract all those technical features say, this is the product roadmap and we find that they will be aligned with the challenges or or or or or difficult it will have to cope Do you know what I mean? So, yeah, I don't want it to be like a become a very technical thing. Hey, this is a feature we're gonna adopt. We're talking about AI This is a chance GBT we got to put as extra x blocks and that will be so down in the boring that's why yesterday was trying to ask me if you have any more, you know, from different perspective, business perspective, more insightful information, like all paddocks future will be.
Yes. Yeah, that's a good point. And this is something that Jenna touched on at the I believe it was the last Open edX meetup that the current Open edX public roadmap doesn't have is lacking some product documentation and the product working group is actually coming up with a new product review process. In which each item that is being placed on the roadmap has to go through a product review process, and product documentation needs to be generated for each of those items listed. That is currently not the case. If you look at the public roadmap, and that's why Jana is planning to work with you, because it will be difficult for you to just get the information from the roadmap as it is currently written. In regards to the other components the competitive landscape analysis and trends in the E Learning market, the content, I will communicate during Friday's meeting with App sembler open craft Adley and nginx to provide you the content ahead of time because I know you need that information to build on your analysis. So we'll set a deadline for when they make the content content available so that you and Stefania have enough time to build out your portion of the presentation Okay, thank you. There'll be appreciated. Yeah, no problem. Any other questions about the Business Development Workshop? Okay, and then, the other thing is we have an open edX meetup coming up next week. So if you are available, it's a free and virtual needs app. And expert is presenting a great initiative in Egypt in which 27 public universities have adopted the Open edX platform. And then we'll have another presenter that is presenting an AI use case for content creation within the Open edX platform. And the last presentation will be an update on the latest Open edX release quince. So these presentations will occur next Thursday at 10am Eastern Daylight Time. I just added the registration link for this event. So if you're free and available, would be great to see you there. Okay. The other thing that I wanted to bring up we're making a few changes to the Open edX marketplace. So you share my screen here one second. Okay, so some of you already know this, the changes that we have integrated thus far is we had a tab here before that was marketplace. And now that tab has been moved and under the Get Started tab we have now all open edX providers listed here. When you click on providers, it currently defaults under the various options that we have providers in for platform support services. But what we're going to do instead of defaulting to this page, which requires a user to click on a specific category, let's say installation and hosting assistance, we're just going to default it to this page so that there's a less number of clicks involved for the end user. So installation and hosting will be the default category and from there, customers can navigate to the other services providers. Provide such as platform customers, development, etc. And then another thing that's that we noticed in observing consumer behavior on this site, it's not obvious that you have to click on a given provider card to contact them so we'll add a click to contact button on each of the cards so it's more obvious more apparent, and then when consumer clicks on a given card, obviously, you know the contact form is here. So hopefully that will be more intuitive. Now as a provider. When a customer completes this form, you will get a notification into your experience cloud portal. What is the experience cloud? The Experience cloud is a Salesforce interface that we have integrated for all of our marketplace providers, to see all of the leads that have been sent to them via this form. And if you're a partner or verified provider, you also get direct leads that sink into your Salesforce Experience cloud instance. And if a given lead sinks into your experience cloud instance, it always defaults into a stage called Open okay. And then from open, it is up to the provider to disposition the lead the various straight stages of the sales cycle. So the next stage would be contacted. Now we have noticed that a large number of providers are actually actually not leveraging the experience cloud and are not just positioning leads. So what we are now integrating with our Salesforce team is we are going to be integrating task reminders Salesforce task reminders to be sent to your lead routing email to remind you to disposition your leads into the given status that they're in in the sales cycle. As you know, we have announced as we transition to from edx.org to XM collaborative, we do not actively collect any referral fees. So if we send you leads or your 10 leads from the Open edX website, you do not owe us back any referral fees. However, we do like to report to our board in terms of the value that we create for our provider ecosystem. So that's why this information is critical for us so that we can implement further enhancements in regards to attracting a consumer traffic to the website and maximizing the leads that are sent to providers through the design of the website. So these are changes coming up. I think there are a few questions. Angie I think you had your hand up first. So Angie, or Harrison.
Me I don't have a question about it, but can you please as Angie
do the medium please? I'm sorry. Yeah. All right, answer your Hi Anna. Hi, everyone. Okay. Okay, so any any questions about the experience cloud and also if you do not have if you lost your user access to the experience class or you do not know how to access the Salesforce interface to view your leads, please let me know you can inform me via email via slack. I'm happy to resend the access to you. Yes. So, Celia,
how do we report to you the status of the of the you know, the sales cycle because number of cases takes a very, very long time. And we do have a we link this one to our own CRM system. We're not using Salesforce so we use Zoho and we kind of configure the prospects like what at what stages 20 30% That one if you can, you know, ask Salesforce we can kind of, you know, link this to system together or I don't know can automatically you know, direct that you know, forecast back that's my question because the technically I don't know if it will happen, if technically is not possible and add to what certain you know, time point, we need to report to you the status of each case. Okay.
Well, the so it's a CRM system that you're referring to.
Yeah. Where are your Zoho Zoho? Okay.
Well, that's a very good question. I can check regarding this point of the integration endpoints that we can implement. So you don't have to update two systems right to reduce the administrative burden. Currently, the way that it's set up is that when you go into the experience cloud, I don't want to pull up a sample user because for privacy information here, but if you go into your experience cloud portal, and you click on a given lead, you will see if the lead is defaulted to open. There are different stages for example, contacted spam, converted, there is a quite a large number of Stage options in Salesforce that you can select and then there's also a box, an open box for feedback. So if you want to add additional feedback in written format, like you've done with me, Cecilia in the past on Slack, you can add that in there. But regarding the integration, I'm not sure I can find out for you if that's something we can support. Okay, thank you. No problem.
Thank you, Douglas. Yeah, any any other questions about the experience cloud management
okay. Yes. Sorry. Okay. Let me go to the next item now. One second.
Okay, so next we have the OKRs sheet review, starting at number nine today. So, number nine, we have monitor and analyze competitive strategies, Open edX main competitors. This information will be covered in the business development workshop at the conference. So as your next and addley have already, as well as open craft and assembler have already created content related to this. Some. I don't know Angie, did you add these additional links here?
Yeah, good morning, everyone. How are you? So this was actually a project that we Inception that is already consolidated in a full file as a PDF, which actually highlights the main difference strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of five different competitors. We consider them based on the number of users and the idea is to complement that as it is mentioned in the Business Development Workshop. More highlighting the difference we have in terms of product and in terms of vision. So hopefully, in that workshop, we can have different insights and obtain ideas on how to improve or curate experience with the customers. That's in general, the factors that that was 100% Complete. And I know there is more people wandering to collaborate with us. So I think the doors still open for that project. I don't know eaten. But in general, what we're doing right now is to plan how we're going to approach that session, and how to make it more interactive in a way that actually is not only to provide information and to let them know what we have found, but better to ask them to participate and give us new ideas on how to be you know, more accurate and like to to implement some maybe cutting edge practices that can help us to be better than we are right now.
And Cecilia mentioned earlier that some of the content, her and Stefan Yep. Since they're covering the second part of the workshop, they are reliant on this portion to finalize their assessment. So Angie, if you can work with Cecilia and Stefania to share at least already your report and then I will ask at some bland open craft and deadly to share their portions with them so that they can build on the second part of the workshop which is alignment with the Open edX roadmap.
Sure, I think I don't know when he when is the next meeting for the business development workshop.
Right They writing? Yeah, I
think on Friday, we can touch base on those topics and see the advance
that would be good. Thank you. Any any questions? And this is something that I mentioned will be part of our strategy for the learning, learning technologies conference. coming up in April, we will be on site monitoring, competitive strategies because many of our competitors will be on site at that conference. And so we'll report back our findings based on that experience.
Will open edX have a talk or a speech on one of the sessions or to secure the vision this time? Yeah,
this time, we were not organized enough. To secure presentation slot. So we just have an exhibition booth at the conference if there are opportunities for birds of a feather. You know, we'll certainly take advantage of that but we don't have an official presentation slot. At this event. Okay, good to know. And we plan to do these things on a quarterly basis. But this one, for example, we were just in the process of finalizing the contracts now so we didn't have a lot of time, I think for the next one. Well, next we have the Open edX conference in July, but we should target another conference at the end of the year. So we're open for suggestions if you think there are specific events that it would be valuable for us to attend and we should attend as a union. Let me know and the sooner we can finalize those details to better and then we can also plan on submitting presentation proposals. accordingly.
I realized that there is an annual event in Saudi Arabia the Attach industry that is actually quite famous like with 1000s of assistants, someone has sent me the information. I will love to go but to be honest, like I think we don't have already defined a budget for those events on these years. So I'm not sure if we can assist and I think it's like in January or February so I will check and I will send information to you but it looks very, very promising. So I think we can add it to the list.
What was then do you remember the name of it Angie,
I will check it
is Utah University.
Just give me a second maybe I can find information and I will give you more accurate? Yeah, cure a few
in that region. I know there's another one called Leap.
Leap. I'm not sure if it's the
no but the leap. Leap is like a more for technology companies. Now focusing on elearning but I know digital universities, one of the big ones I was just
everyone's second I have the information just right here on my phone. So I can validate and let you know. I
mean general depends on robotics, global outreaches like mostly will look like you have had access participating events in the States. And also Europe.
No, actually it's cool. Chuck No, there was one that was the Saudi education summit. That was on September that a surgeon is headed by an international organization called Beat world with companies like Google and other companies working in the education and technology. But the one that I've found that it's really pretty
interesting let me check where's that?
You done how do we decide that prevents, like Open edX global outreach impact or the provide leave?
You were like it's sleep. So I don't know if that's accurate for us or not because someone has shared it to me. It's called Leap.
Leap is that's the one you've heard of is Are you familiar? Yeah.
That's, that's one that we've heard of where we're scoping it out. Happy to share info with the edX team, Open edX team here as we get that info. So I'll keep you guys posted. I imagine it's gonna be a pricey one. And I don't know how how travel is into that region. But yeah, I'll get some details and share it with you all.
Okay, that would be great.
It's in March. So still with have some timeframe.
Oh, okay. Next year, much okay. Yeah, perfect. Okay. Yeah. That would be great if you can share the information. Just an update regarding the Learning Technologies conference. So our chief financial officer is signing the paperwork, this afternoon to secure the booth because Monday was a holiday. They sent the contract Friday, Monday was a holiday and then he didn't get to do it yesterday, but as soon as that's completed, I will touch base with you guys regarding the exhibition space for for the Learning Technologies conference. Okay, now, any any other questions regarding the competitive landscape analysis?
Question like for NG are the final competitors that you identify the same thing as you have put on the Google Sheets you provided before or there are other names you go into, or a new one to that except that member you know the whole class.
The one that we have shared, I mean, we found different competitors, but we only focus on the open source environment to be more accurate, so we just let the five big players, but I realized that in the last meeting, you mentioned one player, e to L. Yeah, exactly that one. And I didn't include it because to be honest, I don't have a lot of background of them. So maybe we can include it in the Excel file to do the full analysis and afterwards, we can include it in the final PDF that will require a little bit of effort in terms of design. But if it's so like, interesting to reanalyze from our perspective, I think it's it deserves to be included.
I don't know if other competitors have the encounter. Do you feel like a detail is so significant that we need to include I know in North America I know a lot of colleges and university they all teach well then they are expanding to Europe now. But they're not open source. As you said if we're only looking at open source, that's different story.
No, we're not okay. If it's not open source, I think. Yeah, I think it should be in different maybe analysis because we have also a full like slot to analyze, like, you know, like private competitors. But to be honest, I think that's like comparing peers what April's like. I mean, even if we would like to integrate some of the things that the private LMS has has their environment where we work, it's absolutely different. So I don't know if it's, you know, like, it's hard for us to do it because, for example, in our specific case, or niche is pretty clear on that they want to work with, you know, open source software's. So it's not something that we actually consider as a reference.
For Yeah, what we decided in the last business development workshop is we're also going to look at non open source platforms because for example, Camp Canvas is one of our biggest competitors in the higher education space and they're not fully open source, but they are Realistically speaking, one of our main competitors,
like they have two versions, one that is private, which has more it's more focused on corporate sector, but they also have like an open source version. At least we can include it because of that, and because it's, it's a big player, right? But yeah, as soon as we make the lease bigger, every area needs analysis, and it takes some time to do it. So it's more time and more effort.
Yeah, so we'll look at I mean, Angie already has the setlist I know open Kraft has their list. assembler has created a list and I don't know at least, you know I asked if you guys have a list of sort of main competitors that you've already gathered or written for, but we're going to look at the list on Friday and then we can figure out from there. Okay, what do we what information do we include? What do we leave out so that Yeah,
yeah, so one thing I think we are missing or that at least will be nice to have to support or ideas is, like real data and insights, for example, to have a map on show you know, like the regional presence or at least how they like, which are the principal markets and, you know, like to put them on a way that is more graphic, like we don't have that kind of analytics or data to contrast that information. And I think that it's really interesting. So it may be someone has a report or we can maybe find a way to put all that information together. I think that will be nice.
Yeah, on the Open edX side, we do have that report region based that I can share with you if you want to put it together in form of a graphic. I'm not sure about the competitors, but yeah, we'll we'll see, I guess, once we decide which wants to include and then we can try to find that information for the competitors as well. But we do have that for for the Open edX platform. Which just means it's a spreadsheet. You can filter it by the region and then you can create make a graphic out of it.
Yeah, though, like to have first a chart, you know, to see how many users they have on every region and then maybe we can create a creative image to put their logos depending on where they have more presidents or something like that.
Yeah, I think that's a great idea. Let's do that. Okay. Any other questions about this? No. Okay. So next is Douglas we have an item that you shared, which is just customer feedback, surveys, so
I thought, I thought we close that at a couple months. ago. I provided the the survey text, but I don't think we're going to go any further with that.
Did we close it? What?
I actually don't know how we close things. So but I, I think I've done what I what I had intended to do.
And because the information so part of the business development workshop is to provide to hear from our providers, what consumer feedback is regarding their decision to integrate or to not integrate the Open edX platform. And I think, is this your goal with the survey just to get general feedback in terms of Yeah,
am I of course I wasn't thinking of the Open edX conference. At the Yeah, I think our challenge was many of the clients that open craft has are are really referrals and we are looking for new or interesting data that would say, here's here's why. Here's why a client here's why a customer is selecting Open edX. And for us, many of them have have simply been references from other happy clients. I didn't get very many insights in terms of our customer base. I think other I think other Open edX partners could be very different in terms of the results of a survey that they would do for this, if that makes sense.
So I think the main issue is that you were internally just sharing it with your customer base, but we need to find some sort of external platform to gather this information. I mean, there are no sites but
there were there were events or conferences, that sort of thing. Perhaps other partners could gain insights and in terms of either their, their customer base or perceptions of Open edX by by others, but again, for us it was it was pretty it wasn't it wasn't very interesting. The results I got because we're not really a traditional marketing company. Going after new leads, many of them are pretty much handed, or at least in the past have pretty much been just deliver to us through referrals.
And it looks like this actually ties into item number 12. This is something I don't know abstract you've entered here as well or is this a this is a duplicate of the one on number 10.
And it says here as the goal define audit personas, so
no, I think it's it's pretty much the same. Stephanie was talking there with I think it was finir could it be no fucky fucky. It was with faqeer. I think.
I think I like the idea that you've mentioned Douglas to use the strategy during external events. And this is something we can actually integrate into the upcoming learning technologies conference, because when raccoon gang and abstract technology were at the ODB global conference in Germany, in November, there was just a lack of brand awareness in general, people just did not know what Open edX platform even was. It will be interesting to see at such a large scale elearning event, what the the consumer feedback is, if there's any, you know, what is the percentage of brand awareness so we can definitely integrate it as part of this upcoming conference. Good idea.
Regarding the last item, if you omit to mentioning, not this one, know about the survey because I was thinking that this is great, and it could be more valuable if maybe we can integrate it to the Open edX site. For example, like having a pop up or something that say like we want to have your feedback or we want to know more about you, you know, look at a landing page where we actually can redact or leads an audience to complete that information in one spot, which for me, it has a lot of sense that should be the OpenELEC side, because it has more bases than the other ones. So it could be pretty nice if we can make the fourth because that will give us more insight together.
Yes, I love that idea. That's a great idea. And that's something very simple to integrate. Yes, Douglas.
No, I was gonna say I hadn't thought of that. That's a really good idea.
Yeah. That's a great idea.
Thank you. I mean, we're going to be pretty happy you know, with Harrison to help you in case you need or help for the WordPress side of things. But I think at the end, the most important will be that we, internally promote that inner pages like as soon as there is the landing or whatever we decide to do in the OpenELEC site. We'll link it to our pages to read it act. Some of our leads or clients because even we can integrate it to like our CRM, and we can say to ours, like can you go there and fill out this information, but to be honest, the roadblock I see is that most of the people don't want to fill out like long, you know, statements or these kinds of surveys unless they have something on exchange. Right. So that's something that we have even considered you know, we as a company how to do it because for people's for some people the most relevant is time so it's time consuming for other people could be okay, but you give me maybe a bonus on something like a discount on Amazon or something like that. That could be interesting, but I don't know what you think and how you think we can do it better.
Yes, we did have a survey on the Open edX website in the past, just gaining consumer experience based on their experience with our Open edX providers listed in the marketplace. And in the two years that we had the survey life, we had three submissions. So but it wasn't that it was actually not a pop up survey. So it was just a stagnant you know, you had to go on the particular lamp marketplace landing page to access it. So I do really love the idea of the pop up survey. And we can integrate it on every page of the website. And yeah, the I think the key thing to getting more submissions is not to make it a long survey, so keeping it as brief as possible. Perhaps even with a star rating. And that way people don't feel overwhelmed completing it, or spending time completing it. Celia just
suggestions on those the way we have done some survey before the most effective way still through email campaigns. Because every publish and every provider has its own, you know, customer base or group I don't know if we can do separately. I assume that to Open edX do not have a general customer, you know, database. That's the only effective way like pop up survey, you can get some feedbacks. But it depends on the certain incentives that ng like for example, you'll want to give some incentives. Yes, that may be more reasonable, but like email campaign you can assume to get a better response rate.
I have an idea, which actually I think would be great, but I don't know what you think. What about if we do together as a team players or contest or you know, like, lottery? Yeah, like like a counter saying, Okay, do you want to win maybe a ticket to assist to the 2020 2025 conference? We will like maybe as your opinion and then what we can do is to you know, like how you say that like, as we have all the answers then we have maybe like like a giveaway with the all the people that have answered the form during the year, and maybe I don't know in December, we can you know, do the contest to give them a ticket to go to the next conference. I don't think that actually incentive them and we can, you know, like, maybe afford that together as, as a players like I mean, it shouldn't be pretty difficult, because the information could be pretty valuable to all. So maybe if you can, you know, promote this idea, then we don't seem I mean, of course we need to, to plan and to think ahead, how it should be and to make it very transparent and of course, the idea will have to at least put a number you know, like the idea is to have at least 1000 answers. If first we have I don't know the 1000 answers. We can do the contest, otherwise we're going to do it because of time like the maximum time is on January or something like that.
Yes, I love that idea. That's great. I'll share it internally. But I think it's a really good idea. Vinnie to have your hand up
Yeah, I think something other similar lines to what Angie mentioned earlier, that even we have seen two reasons why people don't respond to surveys, provided they're the legit people who would normally provide the response. One is the lack of incentive. And second one is the the mistrust not the time parting time for all those things that need to remain sealed the reason but the mistrust especially when we provide the incentive or when we say that well you know what your your name will be put it in a raffle to win something, but there's mistrust in the process. So you know, those are the two top reasons why we have seen some of the surveys. One of the things that we did not as a part of tightening the tech vertical but my other business, we actually provided some some amount of free service, like either a support service to our customers, or some conversation with with with an SME on a particular topic, right. So those kinds of incentive, some time at work in getting the certain people to contribute a survey, but I liked the idea about participating at the conference to be a bit more connected and relevant for us.
Yeah, yeah, great points. Exactly.
If you want we can put that like as an oak er, like at the end of the least, to work on the idea and to collaborate together like me and if someone of the other team members want to collaborate with me to provide more shade to the idea I will be pretty happy. Because I think we need you know, like to define which could be the rules, how much could be the budget that we can invest in these, what's the expectation was the scope, so on and so forth. And obviously, I think we need to agree on the idea that any provider can participate all the domains or you know, like, members of the providers should be out of the survey and that will be more like promoted with the customers. So they actually can profit on on that advantage.
Yes, I will add it to the list. Angie, I will edit today. After this meeting. Okay, the next okiya so find projects using Open edX. The Open edX platform and as we know not every site uses the powered by Open edX logo. This is something we always encourage but unfortunately, it doesn't always happen. Now, the list I have the list generator scrapes the site monthly so we always every month we have an updated list. It's it's not 4500 sites. It's a little less than 4000 sites that she scraped. And I think Cecilia, you had a meeting with Stefania to work together on this effort Correct. Or
the that was another task that I suppose to work with someone from at least IKEA from before. Yes to demo the impact of Open edX selecting some of those good use cases from those sites that you have a scripted. Okay. So,
I don't know because for here, yeah,
we were working with faqeer on that and try to connect with him before the holidays or I think it was in November. But we were not able to do with a sister to working for Italy or
for a bit so let me let me ping him and a few others.
Yeah, because we didn't get further than what you see in the in the link in the tableau link. I mean, we talked about this and the data, which is there and and discussed how we would go ahead but we didn't set anything in detail. So yes, but then the communication somehow disappeared with fucky. I don't know. It would be great to to pick this up. Again, maybe with another team member of Adly or with another member of the marketing working group, whoever's interested then
so we have the list. The list you can send. Let's say for example, Cecilia and Nico. You guys want to work on this. I do have the list. I can send it to you. Previously, the reason why for IKEA was part of this project is because he was actually scraping the list. But now we are scraping it internally. So we do have the list. Yeah, of
course, if you can share it and would be great. Maybe we can continue. Cecilia and yes. And define you and me. Sure
in that case can you merge the task on call on roll? Number 17 I think is kind of overlapping with each other. Because the goal is not to find all the sides. The goal is to find those interesting stories. What I found on my next website, the likes of use cases and we need to find that use cases that align with vaccines initiative as well is serve the you know, the underserved learners. I think we can combine that into touching stories and good series of use case demos on that site that that I think that will be the goal. Yeah,
you're right. Okay, yeah, I will merge it with item number 17. Okay, and then the next item let me share my screen.
And I will love to participate on that item to at least I didn't. I was not a word that we were doing that. But the link is not working for you to know the link of Tableau. It's broken. So maybe that's something we would like to check. And then I think I can support them this item because I have already another list. So I can help you to verify maybe if some sites are missing in there. I think the difficult task here is to you know, do some scrapping to know which actually sites are active and which ones not. That's has been challenging for me. Exactly.
Yeah, I think you know, now that IKEA is not actively involved. It makes sense, you know, between the three of you, because it's quite a large list and if each of you want to concentrate on a given area of focus, let's simplify things. So yes, I will. That would be great if the three of you can work on that.
Yeah, of course then.
Yeah. Great. Okay. So I will update that. Okay, I done and I will email you guys the list.
Yep. Thank you for Thanks.
Okay, so we are about to reach the end of today's meeting. We have one minute left. Are there any questions?
There is something we can help you with the conference. Have you think about us for something related to the logistics or do you need something from your site for that?
Yes, so my fair Maria Fernandez, she reached out right. And because the conference planning meetings are open to the community members to help. So she has joined she's in the weekly meetings to on behalf of Nginx. But, Andrew, if you want to join us well, I can have you added to the meetings but we meet every week. Regarding the conference planning and in which we discussed assistance that's needed for the conference.
I was thinking more on the marketing side like do you want here for the polls or branding posters, whatever marketing related content could be so we can maybe organize together something to help you. Yes,
that would be very nice. That I mean, we have we are working with Cassie as our main designer, but I think additional help would be great. A boo Slava is currently helping with the Google app campaigns. We have three campaigns out. But yes, the more the merrier, so we can connect, to review what strategies we have in place and what we can do for further enhancements.
Perfect. Sure.
Okay, so Angie, I will connect with you on that much. Okay, thanks, everyone. We are out of time. So we'll see each other during the next meeting, but don't hesitate to reach out in between, in Slack or email.
