Laur gave an overview of how they came to this point and introduced the two other team members in the call

Ruth explained how the Strategic Initiatives currently work in the community and how organisations can contribute

• Check out https://contribute.mautic.org/contributing-to-mautic/developer

• Join the Slack channel - https://mautic.org/slack #i-resource-management

• Join the Mautic 4 channel to keep up to date with the work on Mautic 4 (the next long term release)

Ruth talked about the requirements for PR’s to be included in core

• Must have automated test coverage (unit tests, functional tests)

• Could have Cypress tests (Ruth is working on the first implementation of this)

• Must follow the documented requirements that can be found in the community handbook above

• Testing requirements will be based on the complexity of the PR - read more at https://contribute.mautic.org/community-structure/governance/code-governance

Laur and team explained the work that they had been doing to date and their inspiration for how they might approach this - there is a competitor in Estonia which has a really nice implementation for example

We discussed the basics of how we might think about structuring it - this is roughly where we started the recording (oops, sorry!) - and the challenges of working at scale, avoiding duplication, and the existing functionality of categories

We talked about the release timelines - it will probably be too late for Mautic 4 but as soon as the PR comes over we can start to review it and test at scale etc.
