+# InnerSource Patterns WG - Report for Board Meeting 2025-02
+
+## Meta
+
+* Reporting Period: 2024-11..2025-01
+* [merged PRs](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/pulls?q=is%3Apr+closed%3A2024-11..2025-01+is%3Amerged)
+* [opened issues](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/issues?q=is%3Aissue+created%3A2024-11..2025-01+is%3Aopen)
+
+## Engagement
+
+The [patterns book][] is the way InnerSource practices are captured and shared. Recent web analytics:
+
+* total traffic on the patterns book (tracking_id: `G-QL1S8MW5D9`)
+  * 14,592 views total (prev 14,308)
+  * 1,784 users (prev 1,908)
+* Most popular patterns:
+  * InnerSource Portal
+  * 30 Day Warranty
+  * Maturity Model
+  * Standard Base Documentation
+  * Core Team
+* traffic for translations (btw the URLs here have changed at some point. used to be /v/ja etc):
+  * Japanese (/ja) - 2163 (prev 1300)
+  * Chinese (/zh) - 597 (prev 305)
+  * Brazilian Portuguese (/pt-br) - 418 (prev 332)
+  * Galician (/gl) - 101 (prev 46)
+  * English (/) - roughly 11,313
+* interpretations
+  * Of our translated content, the Japanese patterns are consumed the most. Great to see that the content provides value to users in that geo/language.
+  * Year over year the total views are down quite a bit. not sure why. (see reports from 2023)
+

+
+## Things to come
+
+* I (@spier) used a [Kanban style board](https://github.com/orgs/InnerSourceCommons/projects/32) more rigurously in the last few months. It did help me figure out where I should invest my time to move patterns/issues/prs through the process. It shows in the number of patterns that were added to the repo.
+* [Creating a plan](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/issues/772) to get more patterns published in the book
+  * spoiler: we have 6 patterns that could do that in the medium term.
+  * Need more hands though to make this happen.
+  * Fun fact: this activity was triggered by the ISPO WG asking about patterns were not published in the book yet, but somehow they knew existed :)
+* Micaela Eller (from the ISPO WG) offered to help with leveling up further patterns. Will onboard her in the coming weeks.
+* [A proposal](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/issues/777) was made to translate the patterns to Spanish. yay!
+
+## Trusted Committers (Community)
