So let me know if you need hellp 17:11:26 i'm also happy to vouch for applicants 17:11:27 fungi I thought that's what you'rer at is called? 17:12:02 words missing there....Is that not the name of the thing in Boston today or did I mix the name up? 17:12:02 ahh, you're talking about openinfra labs (which is an effort we're discussing at the open cloud workshop) 17:12:24 I figureed universities might have menetees:) 17:12:43 collaboration between the moc universities (mit, harvard, bu, umass, northeastern), red hat, osf and others 17:13:11 Here in the bay area pretty much every conference and gathering has been cancelled or postponed. 17:13:30 Open Compute Summit being the latest casualty. 17:13:47 So far I think the stuff in Austin is still on 17:13:55 this is an academic gathering... they put out hand sanitizer ;) 17:14:02 hehe 17:14:06 I'm guessing even if the LF doesn't cancel or postpone KubeCon our travel will be banned. 17:14:44 our travel plans were canceled for KubeCon 17:14:48 (Oddly enough I just returned from 2 conferences, one in Vegas and then O'Reilly SW Architecture last week in NYC. I don't even think there was mention of cancelling those. 17:14:50 My theoory is put stuff on your caallendar and if it gets cancellled remove it then. But then I havee to put in animal entries weeks in advance 17:15:06 Yes, it's really hard to plan! 17:15:34 lots of folks at fosdem were wearing breathing masks, and people were sensibly not observing the belgian hand-shaking tradition 17:16:00 So we plan for Vancouver and Berlin and if worst comes to worst we use that pllaaning another time 17:16:09 makes sense 17:16:27 yep 17:17:39 But yeah for this new format I was thinking more of an open room, maybe some appointments with the other projects and a slot for mentoring prograam 17:18:25 err open table:) As they're shareed rooms which could be a challenge based on experiences at GHC 17:20:04 But I think we'll be smalll enouogh discussions to head into a hallwaay if needed 17:20:09 it worked remarkably well for the shanghai ptg space, but how well depends a lot on the acoustic architecture of the space 17:20:49 fungi yeah it's hit or miss for GHC depending on Houston or Orlando and how they layout the room 17:22:00 as we learn more about the new format I think we'll have more to work with as far as planning. 17:22:30 Anyone have anything else on this? We have 35 minutes and just open discussion left 17:25:19 #topic Open Discussion 17:25:29 Anyone have anything? 17:28:05 Ok giving everyone back 30+ minutes! Enjoy the rest of your day 17:28:10 #endmeeting
