How's the hand? 18:04:14 I have the giant bandage off now, and just small bandages over the steri strips now. It seems to be healing well and quickly. Thanks for asking. 18:04:39 this was just after the hostpital: https://tank-binaries.s3.amazonaws.com/c47f9277fc0144c18c14783b227e058e.jpe 18:04:41 We'll give folks a few minutes, time change is throwing everyone off. 18:04:58 (SFW) 18:05:09 Not good! 18:05:31 There won't be any lasting damage 18:05:57 That's good, I'm missing the tip of one finger, only bad part is the nail is a little weird 18:07:02 2 more minutes and we'll start, I know you corrected a type:) And aprice has added the choices from the original to the ether for us 18:07:19 I manage to typo saying typo... 18:08:39 My inability to type is contagious 18:09:42 Ok this will be really quick I guess, let's give the draft a look over with the responses. I'd like a few more eyes before we do anything with it though 18:09:49 #topic Draft review 18:10:00 #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/diversity-survey-spring-2018_draft 18:10:07 * cdent clicks 18:11:50 So the 4 questions with no choices we'll use the choices from the mozilla survey that are on the bottom of the pre-draft question etherpad 18:11:57 Was there previous discussion on including code and documentation in the same contribution response? I'm aware of some people who are comfortable with one but not the other? 18:12:08 #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/diversity-survey-spring-2018 18:12:44 cdent: I believe it was a result of both count for ATC 18:13:24 Depending on the sorts of correlations we want to make separating those might be useful. But it might also be dispiriting to some 18:13:46 That ones a multi-response or a one-response? 18:14:46 cdent I don't remember if the original had any multi-choices but we could add them were needed in addition to the other(fill in the blank) 18:16:39 cdent I think I'd almost rather see the contribute code/docs and revide code/docs be the breakout there. I think you're right about it being dispiriting if we don't think of docs as code 18:18:03 Yeah, there are lots of ways to go. I think it depends on how we want to understand the resulting data. 18:20:55 I think we want to get an idea of where people are in the community, what areas are more/less diverse. Then once we know that we can see how we can start helping to change the lesses to being more diverse 18:21:54 I suppose we can always follow up later if we want to try to see if there are gravity wells (or repellers) in traditionally code v traditionally doc areas 18:22:08 I'll almost guarantee that right now docs is probaly one of the most diverse projects 18:22:43 Do we know why? 18:22:49 And probably historically as well 18:23:03 IS THERE MAGIC SAUCE WE CAN SPREAD ELSEWHERE!!!!??? :) 18:23:20 Well Rackspace used to provide a large number of tech writers which were female. 18:24:19 So I'd say that's a main reason. But beyond gender diversity I can't say except it's a recommended place to start 18:26:08 * cdent nods 18:26:44 And that's one thing we need to keep in mind we're not just looking at gender diversity 18:27:22 Yeah, my thinking on docs v code above was that people who are ESL may find code easier to approach than docs, in some circumstances 18:28:38 Could be as code is code. What about a follow up to if you select code/review ask what projects? Though that might scare some folks off thinking we'll ID them 18:29:16 Yeah, I don't think we want to be chasing that kind of detail, not when we are asking all these other questions 18:31:17 ok added a note for that one which we can send to the list and maybe get feedback before the next meeting. Any other questions you want to hit? Not sure if you want to go in order or just pick ones you see? 18:34:43 That was the only one that made me think any additional thoughts. 18:34:56 Ok 18:35:04 #topic CHAOSS update 18:35:52 I forgot the meeting was taking place and ildikov was at the PTG. I've updated my calendar to remind me so will attend tomorrow 18:36:21 #topic Diversity at the PTG 18:36:52 We didn't do anything officially but anything you want to add from observations? 18:37:09 * cdent thinks 18:38:05 Nothing more than the usual: events based on english speech need to be more conscious of people who don't speak english. 18:38:23 s/english/english easily/ 18:38:29 And non-US as well 18:39:39 I think that's a really good point and maybe something we can remind speakers of prior to Summit, maybe a superuser article or an email sent from speakersupport 18:40:45 #action spotz touch base with aprice about Diversity WG doing something pro-active before summit 18:41:02 +1 18:41:05 I'll put that on my whiteboard so I don't forget:) 18:42:09 Ok put on the board that'll help:) 18:42:15 Anything else? 18:42:30 Not from me. 18:42:52 Last item then:) 18:42:58 #topic open discussion 18:43:19 You have anything? 18:43:41 nope! 18:43:52 #endmeeting
