Rebranding weekly strategy/operation calls

Hi @jeffneiman ,

It seemed like you were off and on in the beginning of the call, so I just wanted to point this out:

We had deciding to change the naming of these calls as well, i.e. they should be called “Strategy Call” and “Operations Call”. (Naming from here, not 100% decided.) The general reasoning is that “Leadership Team” seems to be a turn-off for people, and this is an opportunity to rebrand seamlessly.

So…

1. can you change the various templates that you use to post to Talk, so they are titled “OpenMRS Strategy Call” and “OpenMRS Operations Call”
2. the blurb “Weekly leadership meetings are…” needs to change too, and generally the word “leadership” should not appear in the post.

I think it’s probably okay to keep tagging the post as “leadership”. I would continue to name the notes pages the same way (“yyyy-mm-dd-Leadership-Team-Call”) until we have verified that there are no automatic processes that depend on this naming. (@burke?)

As far as processes around the naming of Leadership calls goes, the things we have (off the top of my head) include:

• Strategy and Leadership Meeting Notes (2010-2021) - Resources - OpenMRS Wiki (“L” for “Leadership”) takes you to…
• Leadership Conference Call wiki page.
• Child pages have been named:
  • “YYYY-MM-DD Leadership Conference Call” (2010 - 2012)
  • “YYYY-MM-DD Leadership Call” (2013 - Jan 2016)
  • “YYYY-MM-DD Leadership Team Call” (Feb 2016 - present)
• We tried to always names notes page in notes.openmrs.org to match the wiki page, replacing whitespace with hyphens.
• Occasionally in 2017 and always in 2018, we just started linking directly to notes.openmrs.org (no longer creating a wiki page)

In my opinion, we can change our invitations and how we talk about these (i.e., refer to them as “Strategic Call” and “Operations Call”), but keep using the existing Leadership Conference Call wiki page and “YYYY-MM-DD-Leadership-Team-Call” naming in notes.openmrs.org for now. Once we have a few months of experience with the calls and feel like it’s working out better, we can change the naming of wiki pages & notes pages (i.e., to avoid changing multiple times as we figure out what works best, making it harder to find things later).
