19:04:13 <spotz> #topic Meeting Time
19:05:07 <spotz> So our 19:00 UTC meeting time was the winner of the last poll of which most of the people who participated no longer attend. So I wanted to see how folks felt about the meeting time and if we should put out a new doodle?
19:06:12 <diablo_rojo> Its fine for me but I would also not complain if it didn't overlap with lunch :)
19:06:43 <cmurphy> it's a bit on the late side for me
19:07:25 <spotz> And you're one of our regulars Colleen so I'd definitely like to make it easier for you
19:07:57 <spotz> Lisa-Marie was trying to attend her nick's not registered so she probably won't make it before her next meeting
19:08:28 <fungi> i'm fine with it, but i don't have any conflicts on my monday afternoons
19:08:58 <spotz> I'll still sendout a doodle but would moveing it up like 2 hours be doable for CEST, EST and PST?
19:09:20 * cdent is vaguely here
19:09:20 <spotz> Just want an idea what ranges might work
19:09:44 <spotz> ahh cdent we've missed you:) Would the 2 hour or so move up work for you as well?
19:10:09 <fungi> moving from 19:00 to 17:00 uc?
19:10:12 <fungi> er, utc
19:10:16 <cdent> Officially, that would be an improvement, yes
19:10:30 <diablo_rojo> Would work for me.
19:10:45 <fungi> that's basically 1pm local for me (or noon after dst ends), which is still fine
19:10:53 <spotz> fungi: yeah, I'd still put it out to a vote but just want an idea of what time would work best for the ore active attendees
19:11:01 <fungi> i might occasionally miss it for lunch
19:11:05 <fungi> no biggie
19:12:33 <spotz> Ok I'll plan on a new doodle see what works best for the majority with a focus on the more active members. We didn't have active members really when we picked this time it just won the voting
19:13:21 <spotz> Any other thoughts before we move on?
19:13:52 <cmurphy> might there be other potentially active members who aren't here?
19:14:07 <fungi> there always might be, for sure
19:15:02 <spotz> Which is why we'll doodle and not just decide here.
19:15:19 <cmurphy> for instance some of the people involved in the first contact SIG might have overlapping interest in this group and many of them are in Asia or Australia
19:15:48 <spotz> cmurphy: True and I consider myself a non-meeting attending member
19:16:11 <cmurphy> ++
19:16:22 <spotz> But at the same time if we can hit a meeting time that can cover 5 or 6 time zones I think we'd be doing good
19:17:40 <spotz> First time around for D&I WG there were 2 meetings one for americas/europe and one for asia/australia, OUI has tried the 2 meeting times as well
19:18:00 <spotz> it just doesn't have a history of doing well when it's been tried
19:19:30 <spotz> So goal is a time that hits as many time zones as possible:)
19:20:29 <spotz> Anyone have anythig else before I put up next topic?
19:21:30 <spotz> #topic Summit
19:23:19 <spotz> Our WG update session is Tue 13, 5:10pm - 5:50pm, I hope as many of you can come as possible and we can also take a few minutes during it to see what timezones we have interested before finalizing a new meeting tim
19:24:13 <spotz> We also have the Long Term emntoring under us and the BoF session for that is Tue 13, 4:20pm - 5:00pm
19:25:21 <diablo_rojo> The mentoring cohorts session?
19:25:55 <spotz> diablo_rojo: Yeah, the summary just went up today for that
19:26:24 <diablo_rojo> Cool got it
19:27:19 <spotz> We've also acquired the Speed Mentoring Lunch also on Tuesday, it's currently unsponsored but Intel I think will provide mentor cards for us if we get mentors and their information in time and we're hoping for a boxed lunch drop in the room or at least nearby
19:28:02 <spotz> And we also get my Git and Gerrit not-during Lunch and Learn:)
19:28:23 <spotz> Oh and the debut of the Diversity Lunch!
19:28:53 <spotz> And that is sponsored by Intel
19:29:11 <spotz> And that will be Wed 14, 12:30pm - 1:40pm
19:29:57 <spotz> So those are all our official D&I events/sessions though there's also a mentoring panel on Thursday
19:30:58 <spotz> In the past we've collected all the women related talks as part of WoO and spread the word, I think un;ess something is diversity or mentoring related we'll have a harder time now
19:31:18 <spotz> women related meaning having a woman speaker not just a WoO topic
19:32:47 <spotz> Any thouhts comments on any of those?
19:32:53 <diablo_rojo> None from me :)
19:33:08 <fungi> looking forward to them
19:34:39 <spotz> Now some unofficial summit things - http://baerentouren.de/nachtwache_en.html which will be open to D&I, OUI, OSA and anyone else who wants to join. We haven't reached out for how many people we would need and it would have to be a night other then Tuesday which is the mixer and ops meetup.
19:35:13 <spotz> So if you like that type of thing let me know and I'll keep you in the loop
19:36:16 <spotz> I'll also put together a groupme for folks so if anyone is in Berlin alone they can find someone to walk with, have dinner with, etc. I was already contacted by one person travelling alone and a first timer so we'll keep that going from WoO I think
19:38:18 <spotz> Any comments/thoughts on either of those or something else we might need to do or consider doing?
19:40:55 <spotz> Ok the last thing on the agenda was an update on the SU article for the survey but Ell's not here and I don't think she started working on it yet. So we'll hold off on that topic.
19:41:05 <spotz> #topic Open Discussion
19:41:17 <spotz> Anyone have anything they want to bring up?
19:41:57 <diablo_rojo> Nope, I got nothing.
19:42:18 <cdent> me neither
19:43:14 <spotz> Ok let's call it early. cmurphy and cdent thanks for staying around late. diablo_rojo go get some lunch:) fungi always a pleasure:)
