## Activity:

*** Project: Survey revamp***

The 2020 ASF Community Survey was launched on Dec 05, 2019 according to it's launch plan [ 1 ]
We are 86 responses away from our original goal of getting at least 700 people fill the survey. We have had so far: 460 responses from unique links and 154 from the open link.
The original survey close date was on January 4th, 2020, we left it open to continue receiving answers.
We plan to do a last promotional push in two venues: at the ASF booth at FOSDEM and sending a general reminder to people subscribed to committers@

Please, promote the survey in your project mailing lists using the message shared by Sally in the pmc@ and ppmc@ lists.

You can find a template to promote the survey with the link to the public version here [2]

*** Project: User Experience Research on new contributors ***

We have reviewed preliminary answers from the survey to draft interview questions.
The main focus for now is to write follow up questions to validate early hypothesis, main topics gravitate around type of contributions, demographic background specially spoken language, and challenges experienced by newer members.
We need to find at least 20 people we can interview with the questions from this User Experience research. See the operations section below to see how we're planning to do this.

*** Project: Internships for underrepresented groups (Outreachy) ***

Mentor's reviews have been submitted to Outreachy and are positive. Mentor's feedback is positive as well.
We keep working in the training toolkit to help newcomers: Getting started at Apache [3]. We are discussing further actions.
We keep working on the friction template [4]. We are discussing issues related to the scope.
The next round has been opened, May-August 2020 [5].
We submitted the community for participation [6].
We are working with PR on the next call for mentors and projects (May 2020).
We decided to move our weekly meeting to Mondays at 20H (UTC)

*** Operations ***

Planning to send an email to committers@ with a reminder about taking the survey, email will be general and using the committers@ alias, haven't discussed this with Sally yet.
Need to find 20 people to interview during the User Experience research, We're planning to send out a call for participation, also will coordinate w/ Sally.
Planning to send an email to members@ with an update on the EDI committee: what prompted its formation, our focus so far and long term goals, will coordinate w/ Sally.
Planning to introduce Daniel Izquierdo from Bitergia to Myrle and Sharan who will be at the ASF booth in FOSDEM to coordinate an EDI office hours to answers questions/discuss the 2020 community survey.

## Health report:

The dev@ and diversity@ mailing lists continue to be slow, not too much activity outside the work done for each ongoing project.
The discussions have been focused on topics that pertain to the projects we are running.

## Committee members changes:

None.
