Is there anything else we could/should do to improve the experience for newcomers?
Initial barrier is to deploy and have a trial with the project
Magma needs HW resources to work
Inexpensive WiFi routers, etc could lower the HW cost for a trial
You need a lab to start valuable work and activities
Universities and companies (telco and wider scope) are the entities who have the ability to use the project and get involved
Agreement within the group: Our target audience is contributors who are working for a company or an organization with a strategic interest in the project
Next steps
Companies and people will probably be interested in the project's roadmap first to decide if it is in scope for them and whether or not they would like to invest time and resources into evaluating and potentially using the project
ie: 5G related items
Keep monitoring the evolution of the project to identify areas that could be covered and highlighted on the project's blog and in the documentation to help people and organizations to get started easier
Does the area/feature contributors are working on affect the contributor experience?
ie: some areas require more equipment than others, which can make deployment and trial easier; carrier WiFi, 4G/5G, etc
