While there was a keynote we weren't involves in it and there was no mention of our programs(mentoring was briefly mentioned) and the survey at all anywhere. At the networking lunch it was nice to see a wider group of people but again another missed opportunity for this group to get our pro 19:09:40 grams out, it wasn't even known we drove the chacnge from WoO to diversity. We had a good turnout for speed mentoring, it was a little disorganized then in the past but notes for next time are to make our own table signs and numbers. Our 2 WG/BoFo sessions were barely attended but that might have been the room location 19:10:34 i think it was entirely that 19:10:52 i had sessions i needed to be in bookending those in the other end of the venue 19:10:54 I think part of the reason the summit as a whole felt weirdly relaxed was because there were clear boundaries in space between things, too clear 19:11:08 like, not relaxed good 19:11:23 but relaxed like "we've not quite got the time/energy to talk about stuff" 19:11:33 so let's just kinda hang out 19:11:35 and that was nice 19:11:39 but felt ineffective 19:12:06 The ghost tour I think was a success we had a few new faces there. There was no alcohol free section at the mixer, there were options but they were next to beer. And no one knew about the gender stickers until the feedback sessions:( They apparently arrived on Wednesday 19:12:36 yeah, those were unfortunately delayed 19:12:51 like the socks which were stuck in customs for a week 19:13:33 the pronoun stickers were supposed to be on hand that weekend 19:13:49 once they arrived at least they got put out at registration and at the osf staff booth 19:14:08 but... disappointing to say the least 19:15:28 I know it wasn't my best summit and it wasn't for lack of trying to be everywhere, coordinate and so on 19:17:31 Anyways hoping Denver will be better and this group will get more exposure and out of it. The Mentoring panel actually turned ito a BoF session as a few people in the audience were active so maybe we'll manage to revive that 19:18:14 Anything else on summit? 19:18:29 it was good to see you all 19:19:16 It was good to see you too:) 19:21:10 #topic Diversity Survey 19:22:59 aprice is in the UC meeting or at least the channel. I don't think anyone actually started our meeting over there. I had sent out another email before summit and a tweet or 2. I know Ell never did the SU article as she got busy and is travelling. Last count we only had 43 responses which is why the lack of 'support' at summit really hurt 19:23:56 o/ 19:24:11 Hey 19:24:59 Any chance we can get a count update? 19:25:33 Sure let me pull 19:27:05 I probably knew this, but have forgotten (see above about attention): How/when/where was the survey announced? 19:27:23 And that's good feedback on the Summit support. I think with all of the things going on, we just have to be very organized on the things we want to promote. Happy to get the Summit team involved in a broader debrief if you would like spotz 19:28:09 aprice: sure 19:28:33 cdent back in Ausgust, then again in early November. I'd have to check sent for exact dates 19:28:54 to mailing lists, right? 19:29:19 there are 88 responses 19:30:25 Ok so we've doubles atleast with the reminder but I think still too low to send for analysis 19:30:43 So its only been sent to ML's? 19:30:47 fungi: yeah all the lists except the language ones I think 19:30:56 And my twitter feed 19:31:27 spotz, it could go out from the OpenStack twitter handle too 19:31:37 aprice, can you do that? Or should I poke Sunny? 19:32:23 diablo_rojo i can and I think that we sent a few tweets from the openstack handle when we first launched. 19:32:47 we are also doing bi-weekly community newsletters and while the first one is about to ship, we can include it in the next one. 19:32:51 aprice, oh okay I must've missed those. 19:32:58 any volunteers to do the superuser article ellopunk was originally planning to write? 19:33:10 aprice, lol just messaged you/chris about that. 19:34:32 fungi: I can try to get it done, it won't be the wordiest though 19:35:18 spotz, I'm happy to look at/build out stuff if you have a first draft you want to share 19:35:52 And at this point we might not want to push anything until after first as folks emails will be swamped if they took time off 19:37:03 diablo_rojo: ok 19:37:12 Anything else on the survey? 19:37:34 i have a question 19:37:37 ok 19:37:49 how many submissions are we hoping to get to before closing? Or will it just be open? 19:40:04 Last time I think we had at least 250, I'd be happy if we got half that was the overall population of the community has decreased. We just need enough of a sample size to be valid 19:40:55 That make sense? 19:41:43 yep, makes sense. 19:41:50 Ok last topic 19:41:55 #topic meeting time 19:43:24 So from the 4 responses, it looks like moving the meeting up an hour, at 18:00UTC Mondays has the most responses of 4. So that for now would be noonCDT, 2:00 EDT, 6:00 England and 7:00 Germany. With going to an hour later when we time shift 19:44:26 SO a little earlier for cdent and cmurphy or as rocky was a maybe we could go to 17:00 19:44:57 Course I did just schedule something at work for that time 19:45:34 I can adjust, quite a lot, especialy on mondays 19:46:12 that time works fine for me, but i'll make just about any option work so didn't bother to fill out the chart 19:46:54 Yeah same, my Mondays are largely empty 19:46:55 Ok lets go with 18:00 as it had all 4 votes in green then 19:47:28 I'll update the repo and send something out to the lists later. Anyone have anything else on meeting times? 19:49:34 Ok moving on 19:49:35 thanks for working through that! 19:49:39 NP 19:49:49 #topic Open Discussion 19:49:57 If anyone has anything? 19:51:02 Going once 19:51:05 not me, thanks for keeping the ball rolling :) 19:51:16 Going Twice 19:51:21 You're welcome cdent 19:51:26 #endmeeting
