megheislerBefore the meeting today, I failed to  get feedback after adding the question for the survey to the ether pad. If anyone wants to look at it, the light pink.15:44
fungioh, thanks for the reminder!15:44
fungii suppose "the project" would be replaced by whatever open infrastructure project the survey is about? (openstack, airship, whatever)15:46
megheislerThat’s what I would propose, if we can’t do that we may be able to find another word15:47
fungiis that question intended to be freeform response or multiple choice? sounds like a yes/no, except that it's asking them to also indicate a relationship with the project15:47
fungiprobably the survey already asks what their relationship to the project is elsewhere, so i have a feeling we could just get by with that particular question asking whether they've observed any impact, and rely on elsewhere in the survey to indicate their relationship15:49
megheislerThat’s a good question, the intent was free form but I re read it as yes or no now. I’ll re word it to try to encourage explaining what impact they saw if any15:50
fungisounds great!15:50
fungione thing to keep in mind about freeform responses: while the wg members should be able to get a copy of them under nda, we can't publish them without explicit permission, and would have to do some probably cumbersome analysis to derive any statistics from there. with a multiple-choice question that's easily aggregated into anonymous statistics, if we think that would be more useful for longer15:54
fungiterm (year on year) measurement of impact15:54
*** jamesmcarthur has joined #openstack-diversity15:58
megheisleroh good to know, thank you!15:59
spotzWe can always have a open give more after? I think we were waiting for feedback from jamesmcarthur as to functionality aka if one question could lead to a different one?16:09
jamesmcarthurspotz: I thought I already answered that one, but it is possible to have one question lead to a different one.16:09
spotzAh cool thanks jamesmcarthur:)16:10
jamesmcarthurnp :)16:10
spotzMy circle backs ofter are because I forget or fear I forgot:)16:10
spotzoften even:)16:10
spotzAnd aprice has the etherpad so with Meg's new question I think we're done, but we can add that to the agenda for today just in case16:11
spotzAdded for finalization:)16:12

megheislerI can't remember and can't find the email, are we on irc or jitsi today?16:59
spotzI went with IRC cause I wasn't sure where we were:)16:59
megheislerworks just fine for me :)17:00

spotz#topic Auditing the OIF Bylaws17:02
*** openstack changes topic to "Auditing the OIF Bylaws (Meeting topic: diversity-wg)"17:02
fungithis sounds exciting17:03
spotzSO in the board meeting last week while reviewing some sections it was pointed out the chair was referred to as He everywhere. So we got the action item of looking through and seeing where those are and finding other issues17:04
SWDevAngelFeel free to "take notes" in the etherpad. I put a few in and will continue until 9:30am PT.17:04
spotzSWDevAngel: The bot logs everything:)17:04
SWDevAngelOkay, then I'll just note the highlights. ;)17:04
spotzIt's only the jitsu meetings we need to take notes17:04
SWDevAngelahhh, got it.17:04
spotzBut thanks:)17:05
SWDevAngelSure. Just trying to be helpful. :)17:05
fungialso if we want to highlight anything in the generated minutes we can use directives like #info or #agreed17:05
spotz#link https://www.openstack.org/legal/bylaws-of-the-openstack-foundation/17:06
spotzI believe these are the docs we were looking through. Some parts of the docs the Board can edit themselves but some sections would need legal and member sto vote on17:07
megheislerWhile going through, should we keep an eye out for other language as well?17:08
SWDevAngelI don't see why not. Catch everything you can!17:08
spotzYep definitely, the issue came out because Alan was He and Allison is She so we need non-gender changes. So that is a given17:09
spotzBut if anyone sees anything else let's make note if it. Let me make an etherpad. And I'll also confirm iif there's any other sections of the site we need to focus on17:10
megheislerThank you17:10
spotz#link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/diversity-legal-audit17:10
spotzAnd of course I can't find the tab I just opened the docs in:(17:11
SWDevAngelI'm with ya on "tab sprawl" ... it's real!17:12
spotzfungi: Do you happen to have the opendev link for the bylaws?17:13
fungi#link https://www.openstack.org/legal/bylaws-of-the-openstack-foundation BYLAWS OF THE OPENSTACK FOUNDATION17:14
fungithat's still the current url afaik17:15
fungiahh, you already linked that earlier17:15
fungiwhat are you looking for?17:15
fungisource code?17:16
spotzDuring the board meeting we had some opendev links which was a little newer then openstack17:17
fungihuh, i'm not aware of any of that being in opendev17:17
fungiopeninfra.dev maybe?17:17
spotzFor example in OpenStack corporate sponsoors on opendev silver membership was the term17:18
fungijamesmcarthur: ^ maybe you're aware of a newer copy of the bylaws published elsewhere?17:19
spotzAnd the bylaws may not be different between the two:)17:19
spotzIf I find any more pages I'll add it to the etherpad page17:20
jamesmcarthurWe are in the middle of updating the language on all of the legal docs.  Working with the lawyers.17:20
jamesmcarthurThe bylaws currently live on openstack.org17:20
spotzjamesmcarthur: Sounds good. We'll focus on those17:21
fungiyeah, i didn't think there was a newer url for those17:21
fungithanks for confirming jamesmcarthur!17:21
spotzThe tab method of storing work is not the best workflow:)17:21
fungii use the "dump urls in a text file" methid, which has the benefit of reducing my open tabs, but is otherwise not all that much better17:22
megheislerI always vow to find a better workflow, open some tabs to research, then forget and close :P it doesn't work either17:22
spotzOk anything else we want to discuss today on this? Or we'll go put stuff in the etherpad and circle back to discuss next meeting17:22
fungi20 open tabs on how to have fewer open tabs ;)17:22
SWDevAngelha ha17:23
spotzI have well over 100 plus 2 broswers with multiple windows:)17:23
SWDevAngelI have a question... are there any upcoming events on the horizon? Even stuff y'all are attending but not sponsoring. Just curious where everyone is planning on hanging out all winter/spring?17:24
megheislerspotz: I started documenting in the etherpad already, we can all probably take some time to do that before the next meeting and circle back17:24
spotzmegheisler=purple:)17:24
megheislerOoops, always forget to add my name, done now17:25
spotzWell like I'm always green fungi=black, etc:)17:25
SWDevAngelI dunno why it makes me that mauve/pink color. I really don't like that color.17:26
fungii found an easy color to reapply every time my cookie gets reset17:26
fungiit just picks a random color for you and tries to persist it in a session cookie, but you can select a color with the color wheel17:26
spotzYeah I just always change to some green17:26
spotzOk moving on:)17:27
fungihowever i find the cookie it's in expires or gets blown away from time to time17:27
spotz#topic finalizing questions for the User Survey17:27
*** openstack changes topic to "finalizing questions for the User Survey (Meeting topic: diversity-wg)"17:27
spotz#link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/diversity-wg-project-questions17:27
spotzAre we good and happy with these? Jimmy answered we can have one question leading to another question based on response17:28
megheislerI re worded the one question to multiple choice if anyone has a thought there, but otherwise I was happier with it17:29
spotzhappier now or before?17:30
megheislernow17:30
spotzOk sweet17:30
megheislerthe answer is more definitive and won't require anyone to share a personal grievance that may identify them17:30
megheislerThe other questions all make sense17:31
SWDevAngelI added a thought/suggestion. I'd like to frame these in language that assumes the work will happen, so let's get a timeframe question instead of "are you or are you not" question.17:31
SWDevAngelif that makes sense. You can see my suggestion (in pink... sigh.)17:31
fungiyeah, as mentioned in here before the meeting, if we do a freeform question, we'll need wg members to analyze the responses under an nda, and can't publish any of them without obtaining consent17:31
SWDevAngelI need to start another meeting now but will keep this thread open and monitor later. :)17:32
spotzWas just reading that SWDevAngel - I was wondering of are you aware of a plan vs is there a plan?17:32
fungii'm not opposed to the idea of freeform answers, just want to make sure we know what that entails17:32
spotzYeah I've gone through and helped before iit's important stuff sometimes but even if there's a difference in the order of the words the 2 answers need to be compared and determined if the same or different and tagged17:33
spotzSo if there's room at the end you can have an open did we forget something because the number of answers is minimal17:34
spotzvs we need everyone to respond to the open ended17:34
fungiright, survey takers are far more likely to skip freeform answer questions17:34
fungiso the quality of feedback might improve when using them, but the quantity will almost certainly nosedive17:35
spotzI won't lie I do it all the time17:35
spotzskip them that is17:35
megheislerThat makes sense to me, yeah, there are some open ended survey questions that I won't answer if I don't feel strongly about it. So we may only get very strong answers one way or the other and people who didn't feel strongly just skip it17:36
funginot to mention, those open ended questions are like an invitation for people to rant, so it can be draining to read through the vitriol in some responses17:37
*** jamesmcarthur has quit IRC17:37
spotzfungi: Yeah like the last D&I survey:(17:38
spotzOk I just put some possible responses to the question we're discussing on the etherpad17:38
fungithanks!17:40
spotzI almost think we could make another yes to add in the folowwing question but not sure it's worth it17:41
megheislerI do think even the two multiple choice questions will yield some good information and help us understand where projects are on this effort17:42
fungii do wonder if we should be phrasing things around "choosing inclusive language" rather than "avoiding divisive language"17:43
spotzYeah and like I said I can make another yes to get us down one more question. I agree fungi. let me type give ke 217:43
fungithe former seems more positive and action-oriented17:43
fungialso focusing on the negative will tend to draw more trolls17:44
megheisleragreed, I will re word17:44
fungiit's part of why i called the wiki page with our list of alternative terminology "inclusivity"17:45
fungialso helps frame it that our goal is to actually be more inclusive, rather than simply trying not to be divisive17:45
megheislerI think that is great point!17:46
spotzOk I moved questions I didn't think we were interested in asking or are asked by other questions to the bottom, changed divisive to inclusive everywhere and added a new response to the question17:46
fungiawesome17:46
*** jamesmcarthur has joined #openstack-diversity17:47
megheislergreat17:47
spotzThat gets to 3 which I think will make aprice happy. Are those what we want? Any rewording?17:49
spotzWe have 10 minutes FYI17:50
megheislerI can't think of anything to change17:50
fungii suggested one minor tweak to avoid things sounding too redundant, but on the whole it lgtm17:53
spotz#action spotz to send questions to aprice for inclusion later today17:53
spotzI'll give SWDevAngel a chance to comment this afternoon before sending17:53
spotz#topic Open Floor17:58
*** openstack changes topic to "Open Floor (Meeting topic: diversity-wg)"17:58
spotzAnyone have anything for the last 2 minutes?17:58
fungii had an opportunity to plug our inclusivity wiki article in a comment on a starlingx docs review just a few minutes ago17:58
spotzSweet!17:58
fungi#link https://review.opendev.org/773155 HTML sanity checks17:58
fungifigure that's an example of the sorts of ways we can bring it to the attention of people down in the trenches hacking on code and writing docs17:59

SWDevAngelHi @spotz catching up now. If you're asking ME this question... No, I am not aware of any plans. If your thought is to word it that way, that sounds good. "Are you aware of..." I can make a note in the Etherpad.18:40
