[minutes] September 27 meeting

Hi,

Here are my notes from our meeting yesterday; next meeting *next week*
(October 4) to get back to our regular and calendared schedule.

Present: Dom, Nick, Alex Seigler, Matthew Miller, John Fontana, Felix
Magedanz

Meeting schedule:
* next meeting next week, and then every other week (back to initial
cadence)

MOOC:
* ongoing reviews, about to confirm schedule reviews
* module 2 soon to review
* plans to build a total a 4 modules in a longer schedule on EdX
- module 1: intro
- module 2: server set up
- module 3: password-less
- module 4: wrapping up
ACTION: Jonh to check license terms on the course materials for
potential re-use elsewhere

FIDO developer challenge
* challenge now complete, with results to be announced in Authenticate Conf
* mostly beginners, interested in exploration & discovery, in most cases
focused on add-ons to existing products (rather than critical pieces)
* expected good long-term impact on adoption for participants
* webauthn seen more as a feature than key focus
* discussion on logistics compared to actual participants habits (e.g.
Discord not necessarily as used/popular in Asia?)
* what lessons for the CG?
 - understand the user story
 - impact on documentation gaps? e.g.
https://github.com/mdn/content/pull/8518 was inspired by discussion on
Discord
* how can we help developers think out of the WebAuthn box (e.g. blob
content not needing to be random)
  - need to target more experienced people to push the boundaries?
* another idea for a future edition: using hackathon to improve existing
libraries / infrastructure
ACTION: John to check in with Andrew on hackathon debrief
* awareness vs innovation vs infrastructure building
* communication / social media key to awareness building
* workshop/meetup for beginners (pointing to the MOOC) , and hackathon
for innovation / more experts?

Dom
