MautiCon Working Group

🔍🌐 During the Mauticon Working Group meetings, we brainstorm, plan, and share progress updates on various aspects of the Mautic Conferences.

Not only will you help shape our global conferences, but you also get to be part of a dedicated team of open-source enthusiasts. Don't hesitate—join us and contribute to the exciting journey of creating world-class Mautic conferences! 🚀🎉

Attendees

• Ruth Cheesley
• Sven Döring
• Tosin Akinbowa

Notes

• Sven is building the template for the YouTube thumbnails so that someone else can create the rest. He'll set it up with placeholder tags so that a CSV file can be uploaded and bulk-upload can be used to create one slide per session. Action: Sven to create the basic outline once he has the CSV, and will create the pre- and post-roll bumpers
• Action: Ruth to export the file from Sessionize and Sven will import the file, someone else needs to import the images and tweak the layout. 
• Action: To post a call for volunteers to process the YouTube thumbnails
• Maybe we could see if we can find someone who could take on the YouTube channel management - maybe we can create a role for YouTube channel manager - they could then repurpose the content into shorts and generally find ways to better grow our audience (and finally get to monetisation!) Action: Ruth to write up a job description for a YouTube channel manager Sven to write one up for social media manager.
• Perhaps it's good to have specific roles in the MautiCon team as well as the wider project and specifically post those out for people to 'apply' to? We can draft those up for the next event/s
• To share a suggestion in Slack for the dates for next year's event (and start preparing/planning early!)
• To ask people to document their learnings in the GDoc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bTng43HalqcCs5r4alwRLwkmP0OMrdoA-RM7bcHfU9I/edit?usp=sharing

Opportunities to contribute:
