I suggest also removing:
Most of these tasks are either outdated or now handled as ongoing by Mindshare.
@bex and @jonatoni, should Mindshare have it's own task list that includes these, then? Or some of them perhaps? It does seem like a lot of them are ongoing tasks not tied to a release (e.g. event funding) or outdated (media duplication), but @jonatoni asked to keep the poster artwork task on there.
@bcotton yes, I think it's probably better for Mindshare to have its own task list. I think we should keep poster artwork because it helps Ambassadors having a poster ready for the RP, but I think Mindshare is responsible for that, same as it is for RP badges for example.
I am torn on this one. Right now Ambassadors isn't really a functioning global entity. I think we should put this all on Mindshare for now and wait for @nb and @robyduck and @sumantrom (with the help of any other active ambassadors) to rebuild their capacity.
I think we can split it back out later -- but by combining it now, it is less likely it will get forgotten.
@bex @jonatoni The draft schedule with Mindshare changes is available. Please review and let me know if you want any further edits.
I am unsure about what these tasks entail:
This task should probably run through 1 month before the next release:
Why is 1.2* on this list?
Should 1.3 include more details about holding the election, like verifying questions for interviews, etc.?
I am unsure about what these tasks entail: Regional Coordination with Marketing for Release Events I don't know either, it was carried forward from the previous schedule. If the people assigned the task don't know what it means, that's a good indication that it should be dropped. This task should probably run through 1 month before the next release: Hold Sponsored Release Events and Publish Event Reports I can add it to run through GA +5 months, which would be about the same thing. I'll make that change Why is 1.2* on this list? Because it's flagged with both mindshare and design. Design does the work, but mindshare is the main stakeholder Should 1.3 include more details about holding the election, like verifying questions for interviews, etc.? No, those are PgM tasks. Mindshare's input to the questions is ticket-driven, not calendar driven.
