Low engagement on Release post MVP nominations
Summary
We would like to request some ideas on how to increase the number of MVP nominations we receive on a monthly basis. It's an important component of the release post that gives us a chance to live out our values of Collaboration and Inclusion, but with each milestone, we receive very few nominations and the same contributors are nominated again and again.
Current process
- An MVP nomination issue is generated for each release post cycle: 15.2 example
- The issue template mentions
@gl-product @gitlab-org/coaches @gitlab-com/marketing/community-relations
in order to increase awareness amongst relevant teams - The release post manager solicits nominations on the 7th and 12th by sharing a link to the nomination issue in the following Slack channels
#release-post, #community-relations, #mr-coaching #core
- The release post manager makes a selection from the nominations on the 15th, or escalates the lack of a nominee in those same channels
