Team coordination

Discussion channels

The goals channel on Zulip is used for discussing the “meat” of project goals: e.g., updates, proposed goals, etc.

The goals/meta channel on Zulip is used for meta discussions about running the program itself rest.

To broadcast updates about the status of the goal program, we create a goal in every goal program corresponding to running the program. Updates posted on that tracking issue will be posted in goals.

Meetings

We do not currently have a regularly scheduled meeting. Sync meetings are coordinated ad-hoc and typically take place on Zulip in the goals/meta channel.

Tracking our work

To track work items, we use issues tagged with the meta label on the rust-lang/goals repository.

Issues tagged with “help wanted” indicates places where we would like somebody to jump in. Every such issue will also be tagged with mentoring instructions giving some idea how to get started.

There are also “meta” milestones for each program period to track specific goals related to that period.
