This is our 2019 priorities in order of importance.

Initial discussion began in this mailing list thread.

1. Build Release / Community Releases
   • Please chime in on this wiki page!
     
     • TSC: please try to get all comments in this week!
   • Tagging
   • Branching
   • Validation CI/CD
   • Release schedule
   • Release notes (+ automation of) - To be discussed again
   • Creation of committees
     • Documentation
     • Community Infrastructure (CI/CD)
2. Improve Ease of Use
   • Improve documentation
     • Establish target goals
     • Ensure there is a cadence between the documentation working group and TSC to meet goals
     • Review current implementation and challenges
       
       • Clarifications on where to make changes
         • Release branches versus Master
     • "First contact" documentation
   • Stacking up TF (especially for newcomers)
     • devstack-like experience for developers who want to contribute
     • Katacoda demos
3. Review Governance Process
   • The ARB question (see this governance issue)
   • The CLA question (see this other governance issue; may mostly be resolved by the automated CLA stuff?)
   • Working Groups: do we have the right ones and are they staffed appropriately?
   • Are there other gaps in the project's needs? If so, how do we recruit to fill them?
   • Review recent move to Jira to confirm it's complete & documented appropriately
4. Improve Developer Diversity
   
   • Customers (carriers, enterprises) that are using the code, but not contributing
   • Establish community metrics
     • See Community Metrics for 2019
     • See the marketing working groups current idea list
       • 2019 Marketing WG Goal Brainstorming
     • Grimoire
     • Stackalytics
     • Determine which tools to expose those metrics
       • Stackalytics
       • Grimoire
   • Internships/outreach for developers
     • GSoC (in progress)
     • Google Code-In
     • Outreachy
     • Rails Girls Summer of Code
     • LF interns
     • Others?
       • How to get more community members and endusers of TF to provide developer resources?
   • Internships/outreach for networking/system engineers
     • NANOG Hackathons
     • IETF Hackathons
   • Greater China engagement
