So I wanted to see how folks felt about the meeting time and if we should put out a new doodle? 19:06:12 Its fine for me but I would also not complain if it didn't overlap with lunch :) 19:06:43 it's a bit on the late side for me 19:07:25 And you're one of our regulars Colleen so I'd definitely like to make it easier for you 19:07:57 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 i'm fine with it, but i don't have any conflicts on my monday afternoons 19:08:58 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 Just want an idea what ranges might work 19:09:44 ahh cdent we've missed you:) Would the 2 hour or so move up work for you as well? 19:10:09 moving from 19:00 to 17:00 uc? 19:10:12 er, utc 19:10:16 Officially, that would be an improvement, yes 19:10:30 Would work for me. 19:10:45 that's basically 1pm local for me (or noon after dst ends), which is still fine 19:10:53 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 i might occasionally miss it for lunch 19:11:05 no biggie 19:12:33 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 Any other thoughts before we move on? 19:13:52 might there be other potentially active members who aren't here? 19:14:07 there always might be, for sure 19:15:02 Which is why we'll doodle and not just decide here. 19:15:19 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 cmurphy: True and I consider myself a non-meeting attending member 19:16:11 ++ 19:16:22 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 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 it just doesn't have a history of doing well when it's been tried 19:19:30 So goal is a time that hits as many time zones as possible:) 19:20:29 Anyone have anythig else before I put up next topic? 19:21:30 #topic Summit 19:23:19 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 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 The mentoring cohorts session? 19:25:55 diablo_rojo: Yeah, the summary just went up today for that 19:26:24 Cool got it 19:27:19 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 And we also get my Git and Gerrit not-during Lunch and Learn:) 19:28:23 Oh and the debut of the Diversity Lunch! 19:28:53 And that is sponsored by Intel 19:29:11 And that will be Wed 14, 12:30pm - 1:40pm 19:29:57 So those are all our official D&I events/sessions though there's also a mentoring panel on Thursday 19:30:58 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 women related meaning having a woman speaker not just a WoO topic 19:32:47 Any thouhts comments on any of those? 19:32:53 None from me :) 19:33:08 looking forward to them 19:34:39 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 So if you like that type of thing let me know and I'll keep you in the loop 19:36:16 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 Any comments/thoughts on either of those or something else we might need to do or consider doing? 19:40:55 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 #topic Open Discussion 19:41:17 Anyone have anything they want to bring up? 19:41:57 Nope, I got nothing. 19:42:18 me neither 19:43:14 Ok let's call it early. cmurphy and cdent thanks for staying around late. diablo_rojo go get some lunch:) fungi always a pleasure:) 19:43:23 #endmeeting
