3. Community Call Survey Outcomes

The Community Call survey received 17 complete responses. No one expressed a desire to change the current time or schedule.

The majority of participants (16) said that development updates are useful. A significant number (11) also highlighted the value of being able to ask questions of the community, and 9 highlighted tutorial videos. Only 3 noted community planning exercises as a positive feature.

Other suggestions included:

  • More frequent JIRA/PR status check-ins (which we're already planning to do!)
  • Including lightning talks on related topics (PHP news, Laminas news, etc.) if people are willing to share
  • More discussion of authority data
  • More time for beginners to ask questions

4. Other Topics?

Next Call

The next call will be Tuesday, January 3, 2023 at 9am Eastern Standard Time (14:00 GMT).
