Agenda:

Olga jumped in to help with Dev Days - thank you!
We are working on a survey and sending out thank you gifts and badges to participants. We don’t have survey data yet (coming soon)
It was about getting people involved - one of the successes cuz it pushed others who were in the background to participate
There were 5 projects from Foundation
We had more response than anticipated - 90 participants registered; 20 PRs merged and 11 PRs awaiting to be merged but almost all are merged.
Trend: more senior engineers new to OSS were able to contribute
Lesson: Build issues
ACTION: For 2024, looking at when to do this and get more organization done too
ACTION: Looking for volunteers next year - let us know

SLP retro (Kaitlin)

We sent out Google form to request for feedback. We had low response - form was sent a little late
There was variability in how often mentors and students met this year
We need to improve on structure, lack of insight into program (maybe a newsletter?), mismatch in mentor experience and mentee interest
Consistent feedback: Sense of community
Request for more collaboration opportunities
From committee: Speaker series was great (would like a lead for this)
Per Sean…Would like to do better at “guest mentor”
Dev Days participation from some
ACTION: Signups will change and will need to use ASWF form
