Agenda:

  • Status & blockers:

    • Pradyun – unfortunately fast-deps does not help performance right now, needs work

    • Georgia: fine; Oh! one note — Georgia out next week.

    • Sumana - need to checkin with Ernest about sponsor letters & more

  • Invoices

    • Please send Aug invoices

  • Nicole: We need an email address for users to send feedback about the docs to. Can @ewdurbin set up a “docs_feedback@pypa.io”? Once done, can we please share the email on https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8783? Please thank you :)

    • Alt: pip-ux+docs@pypa.io

    • Alt-alt: <a href=”pip-ux@pypa.io?subject=UX feedback on docs!”>Second Example</a>

    • Ernest: let’s make it an alias of the pip-UX inbox…. tell me what alias you want

  • Update UX work

    • Bernard has been interviewing lots of people and getting good information so far. We are setting up a system to support Nicole and get interviews scheduled for her so she can maximize her Tuesdays!

    • Outreach Plan for additional Surveys and Interviews

      • We are finalizing the content on the new UX page for pip.pypa.io, this will be the hub with information about all of the active surveys

      • We would like to take an approach where we highlight a survey topic each week for attention from the community, e.g.

        • Tweet about a particular survey for the week, and point people to the pip.pypa.io page for other surveys if they are interested

        • 2x week would be reasonable!

        • Sumana: If we can use “limited replies” that might be good, to push input to the survey.

        • Ernest: Check if TweetDeck and SproutSocial support that

        • Ernest: provide a template for the tweet and we can set that up (To clarify, Ernest can schedule the tweets directly, will review any with Betsy as necesary)

        • Sumana: Other twitter accounts?

      • We will also do similar directed outreach to the people who have already signed up to be a part of the research panel

      • We are drafting a blog post that could hopefully go on PSF blog also to get attention to the surveys

        • NH: PSF Newsletter in 1.5 weeks can we leverage that ask? a blurb?)

      • TODO:

        • Georgia share tweet templates with Ernest & Betsy

    • Also — doing some research about options for sticker incentives and direct fulfillment

  • triage the “needs triage” cards in https://github.com/pypa/pip/projects/5

  • triage the “needs triage” cards in https://github.com/pypa/pip/projects/6

TODO:

  • After this call- Sumana & Pradyun stick around for blockbreaking
