I started writing this a while ago and never got it fully formed. Rather than let it keep rotting in my drafts folder I wanted to share it and see if it made sense to anyone else.
Warning - rough edges ahead!

Conversations with several people have resulted in distilling the following idea:
= EasyFix
== Changing metadata
Modify the table that drives fedoraproject.org/easyfix that is located at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Easyfix
The table would now include two additional columns (optional)
Col 1 = existing reference to the issue tracker. We should consider adding gitlab.com support
Col 2 = existing point of contact
Col 3 = category of task (documentation, infrastructure, programming-Haskell, programming-Ruby, etc.)
Col 4 = SIG/WG/etc. this project is related too (Design, Council, KDE, etc.)
== Changing fedoraproject.org/easyfix
Today we show only two categories: Issues from Pagure/Github and Bugzillas
I believe those categories are not the right categories for consumers of the page. Using the new category (col 3) above, we would break things out by the kind of contribution. This would serve to let people browse related tasks more easily and to reduce the overwhelming nature of the current lists.
For BZs we are either going to have to guess based on BZ metadata or leave them lumped together.
= WCIDFF
WCDIFF should be extended to show the categories and groups appropriate for the various endpoints. This way the person who navigates WCDIFF has the option of reading a specific task they could work on right now, if they so desire.
= Marketing/Promotion
The categories give us the opportunity to promote our easyfixes as a great way to join or contribute in a targeted manner. This could come in the form of articles, tweets, or live conference appearances.
What do people think?
regards,
bex
To confirm, I think the plan is to cancel the meeting tonight. A chunk
of us are at the Docs FAD (and about to go grab dinner) and robyduck is
unavailable, so we can aim to jump in headfirst on Day 1.
Anyone that has a chance, please review the Etherpad with goals and
we'll use this as a starting point for the FAD:

Hi all,
Do we have a wiki page or any formal proposal with the FAD goals? I was
trying to find an agenda or proposal for the FAD but couldn't find one
other than the Council ticket.

Hi all, the Mindshare meeting just came to a close.
In our meeting, we focused only on the FAD planning and spent time
finding our ground in what we hope to accomplish and achieve.
I'm actioned to create an Etherpad and work with jsmith on mapping out
goals and their suggested impact for the FAD (later, this can be ported
to a wiki page or something more formal). I'm going to get the Etherpad
out soon.
Thanks all for coming out, and hope to see some of you in-person next
week. :-)

robyduck reported a new issue against the project: `mindshare` that you are following:
``
We have 8 candidates for two appointed seats in mindshare to fill, but probably the Ambassadors group is not able to appoint them with a clear and transparent process. We need to help them to find a proper way to get this done ASAP.
Candidates are here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mindshare/Representatives
Nick already has a seat and we actually don't have any contributor from APAC in Mindshare.
This issue should collect proposals or ideas about how we can make the selection happen. Using the voting app is an option, but we all know that this would be far away from getting appointed through a constructive discussion.
Any ideas are welcome, please add them here.
``

I have set up a new whenisgood for the meeting time. Please fill in your
availability, I hope we can find a time which works for all of us.
Thanks.

Hi all,
The FAD is approaching at the beginning of March and I was curious if
there were thoughts about including the Ambassador reps in the FAD.
The original Council ticket mentioned names, but I'm not sure if we've
followed up with those people or determined selection criteria.
https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/143
From what I see, it seems like some discussion has happened before about
how to select the Ambassador discussion and it was mentioned in
robyduck's original email to the elected members of Mindshare. Since the
FAD is approaching quickly, it's probably best to make a transparent
decision on the selection / nomination criteria before the FAD.
Could anyone share background context on the Ambassador Mindshare
selection process?
Thanks.
