spotzHey cdent17:03
spotzI know Colleen won't be here but we'll give folks a few minutes to show. I was hoping to start some goals for the year this meeting.17:04
fungiyeah, also around17:04
spotzHey fungi17:04
spotzI'll give folks 1 more minute and then start17:05
fungitook me a couple minutes to see my reminder nagging me17:05
spotzNo worries and I thought about sending the meeting reminder to the new discussion list but forgot:(17:06
spotzDogs were running agility this weekend so was busy:)17:06
spotz#topic Survey17:06
*** openstack changes topic to "Survey (Meeting topic: diversity_wg)"17:06
spotzSo end of February will be 6 months that the survey has been released. I plan on emailing out one final plea for responses. Elle may do a SU article not sure. Is there anything anyone can think of to add to the please letter I've sent in the past or any other way to attract attention?17:08
fungiaprice: any ideas there to better promote the diversity survey?17:08
apriceWe could include it in the community newsletter that we distribute twice a month now17:09
fungigenius!17:09
spotzSounds like a plan, aprice let me know when the next one comes out and we can coordinate17:11
spotzAny other thoughts on the survey?17:11
apriceWe are sending one Wednesday - I'll ping you via email17:11
spotzok sounds good17:12
fungithanks aprice!17:12
spotz#topic goals for 201917:12
*** openstack changes topic to "goals for 2019 (Meeting topic: diversity_wg)"17:12
spotzSo mentoring hasn't picked up or gone anywhere. Turnout at the BoF session was 2 people but we did have decent turn out for the panel. I'll get with Jill and Elle but I'm wondering if they should start having like a mentor meeting and a mentee meeting to just try to get feedback and some movement17:14
spotzAs mentoring fits under us now I'd really like a goal to maybe be one graduating class!:)17:16
fungithat's unfortunate. do we just not have people interested in being mentored, or the people who are interested in being mentored aren't finding mentors, or not enough mentors for the people who are asking for some?17:16
spotzSo we switched to the cohort style as it seemed really popular with the kubernetes crowd. The theory being come and go be grouped with other mentees so you can meet people and collaborate and more then one mentor for a cohort so if someone was gone there were other resources and so on17:17
spotzWe've had mentors sign up we had mentees sign up, we tried getting conversations started on their ML and channel and it's crickets17:18
fungiokay, so basically we're not successful at getting mentors and mentees to communicate?17:19
spotzAt the basic level yes, though some mentors sent intros and no responses. Kinda why I'm wondering if even a pnce a month meeting wouldn't help. At the same time with the drop in drop out nature of the cohort topics people may not even belong long enough to join a meeting17:20
spotzSo just a topic to think about, it's Jill and Elle's program and neither are here17:21

spotzNow I'm assuming we'll have Speed Mentoring in Denver, hopefully we'll get it on the schedule earlier and be a little more organized this time17:23
spotzI'll take the blame on that one17:23
spotzI think the Speed Mentoring is one of the best ways we have of getting new people to feel included in the community besides OUI17:26
fungiyes, i wish we had similar solutions which didn't require being physically present at events17:26
fungisimilarly effective solutions i mean17:27
spotzYeah and maybe meetings will help the cohorts so we'll see.17:27
spotzNow non-mentoring related goals... Anyone have any besides the survey closing and being presented to the community?17:28
* cdent shakes head17:30
fungidid we have any outstanding event-related items?17:30
spotzWell I think only 2-3 people showed up at the WG session, not sure of the time change of the session or the room location affected that17:31
spotzWe had a more general discussion then in depth17:31
spotzI'd like to see this group getting some credit which might help us but not something we control except for individually tweeting and mailing out things we're doing17:32
fungivenue layout was definitely detrimental for sessions which ended up scheduled into that distant hall17:32
spotzHoping for a better location in Denver17:33
spotzSo maybe a goal being increased visibility?17:37
spotzWe're small in numbers but I think we do good things for the community17:37
cdentit's hard to measure or act on that goal, but if we can extract a to do, makes sense17:38
spotzcdent so maybe a tweet or email once a month/every other month about activity? Big push of events at summit before hand?17:39
cdenta bit more noise is probably good17:39
spotzOk so maybe after the second meeting each month we put something out, doesn't have to be huge but a heads up as well as an invitation to join us?17:40
*** ellopunk has joined #openstack-diversity17:41
spotzOk we'll give that a try after our next meeting which will be on 1/28.17:44
spotzAny other ideas for possible goals for the group?17:44
spotz#topic Open Discussion17:47
*** openstack changes topic to "Open Discussion (Meeting topic: diversity_wg)"17:47
spotzOk anyone have anything for the next 13 minutes or we'll call it a day17:48
ellopunkNothing on my end. Sorry17:48
fungiellopunk: were you still looking at putting together a brief superuser article promoting the diversity survey?17:48
ellopunkI'm happy to do so if I can get a little bit of guidance on items that should be covered.17:49
fungithat would probably be a good boost to visibility for it17:49
spotz#action ellopunk to do SU article for the survey17:54
spotz"ok anything else?17:54
