spotz[m]Do we also want to talk about your fund raising ideas?14:03
fungii also wanted to brainstorm survey promotion ideas14:03
spotz[m]Perfect14:03
spotz[m]So historically we have met on Monday, but do we want to just grab our normal Tuesday slot provided no conflicts?14:05
spotz[m]#topic PTG14:05
fungiwe do have some slots for opendev i wanted to avoid conflicts with, lemme check14:09
fungialso sorry for the prolonged silence, i missed that you asked a question right before switching the topic rather than after14:10
fungiyeah, i have no conflicts at this time14:11
fungisounds good to me14:12
spotz[m]Ok so Monday or Tuesday?:)14:15
spotz[m]And yeah I got out of order:(14:16
fungiyeah, i'm free 14-15z on both monday and tuesday14:16
fungiopendev's doing wednesday and thursday anyway14:17
fungiopenstackl release team's on friday, and openstack tc is thursday/friday (so far)14:17
fungiand openstack security sig hasn't picked times yet but i'll make sure that doesn't conflict14:18
spotz[m]Ha we actually have our meeting that week! So why don't we just go with that?14:18
fungiperfect. it's been decided for us14:19
spotz[m]Yep, ok I'll grab that slot as soon as I find the bot commands:)14:20
spotz[m]Anything else on this topic?14:20
funginothing from me14:20
spotz[m]#topic Diversity Survey14:21
fungion promoting it, we've mentioned it in a recent foundation newsletter, but should do more14:23
fungii can send something to the foundation mailing list and/or project mailing lists, but wonder if there are other venues we should be reaching out to 14:24
fungithe challenge is striking a balance between reaching our community members and drawing unwanted attention from vandals/trolls14:24
spotz[m]Yeah which is what I hope happened with that one comment we received last time14:25
fungithere are, unfortunately, people outside our community who like to undermine any efforts they deem leftist/woke/cancelculture/whatever14:25
spotz[m]We can ask all the community managers to reach our to their projects14:25
spotz[m]I'd say we could reqard folks but then that takes anonymity away14:26
fungioh, that's a good idea. that also helps spread out and reduce the repetitiveness of things sent to mailing lists14:26
fungigetting community managers involved is a good idea i mean14:26
fungirewards for taking surveys less so, right14:27
spotz[m]And they should have a good relationship with their folks so it's closer to them vs us14:27
spotz[m]And my book comand didn't work:(14:27
funginot only do survey rewards undermine anonymity, they also add different incentives to the list of variables which already influence survey results14:27
fungii don't see you issuing any commands in #openinfra-events14:28
fungiare you in the right channel?14:28
spotz[m]That could be why:)14:28
spotz[m]Or not14:29
fungimaybe something's screwy with the matrix bridge connecting that channel?14:29
spotz[m]Yeah rewards are a double edge sword to begin with and for this type of survey it would hurt vs help14:29
spotz[m]So let's try the community managers first and see if that helps any14:30
fungiyou don't seem to be in the #openinfra-events channel at all14:30
spotz[m]openstack-events!14:31
fungii'll reach out to ildikov and clarkb about it, since the three of us are the current set of community managers14:31
fungispotz[m]: you want openINFRA not openSTACK (the ptg is for more than just the openstack project)14:31
fungiwe switched and combined channel names when we moved from freenode to oftc, years ago14:32
spotz[m]Yeah but it's not finding the openinfra room, I'll log into IRC after the meeting14:32
spotz[m]Ok so any other thoughts on the Survey? It really sucks it's been about a year with no new results14:33
fungimainly just hoping that if we promote it in more places we might get people filling it out finally14:34
spotz[m]Yeah ok let's go with that contacting the community managers to reach out to their projects to promote. We can also do the Foundation list ourselves14:36
fungisounds good. do you want to do the foundation list one? since i'm the openstack community manager, that will help vary the notifications and maybe make them a little less repetitive14:40
spotz[m]I can do it, let's maybe put together an etherpad so we can make sure we have a similar message to all the groups, doesn't have to be the same14:40
fungilooks like you got the ptg slot booked14:41
spotz[m]yeah got frustrated with it:)14:41
fungiyeah, i can work with you on a rough outline of what the important details to communicate are14:41
spotz[m]#link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/surveyemail14:42
spotz[m]if you want to use that14:42
fungispotz[m]: as for getting matrix to join "hidden" channels on oftc, there are instructions at https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/latest/howtos/matrix-irc.html14:42
fungi"It will display No results for ... Disregard that and hit enter or click Join, and you will join the room.14:43
spotz[m]I just blame the user:)14:43
spotz[m]Anything else on the survey topic?14:46
funginope, we can hack on that pad over the course of the week14:46
fungimaybe shoot for reaching out to the community managers next week?14:46
spotz[m]Yeah and then give them time to add suggestions14:47
spotz[m]Ok do we have anything else we want to discuss?14:48
fungiyou said something about survey responses... i haven't checked them, were there any at all?14:49
spotz[m]5 which might include both of us14:49
spotz[m]I know it includes me14:50
funginone this calendar year though?14:51
fungii think my test submission was during the last summit14:51
spotz[m]There's not time stamp but it's the same number as right after Summit14:52
fungiokay, so yeah nobody's taken it this year14:52
fungii didn't have any other topics of discussion in that case14:52
fungii threw a few notes into the survey communications etherpad so far14:53
spotz[m]Me neither and we're almost at time14:53
spotz[m]Cool I'll work on it too14:53
fungithanks!14:53
fungiand yeah, i could use a quick break to put the kettle on before my next meeting at the top of the hour14:54
spotz[m]Ok let's close out then I need coffee:)14:54
spotz[m]#endmeeting14:54
