Slept again. Then spent all day and Friday and Saturday trying to catch up on sleep. 20:03:34 <jungleboyj> ildikov: Ah, ok. Have a safe trip. 20:03:41 <ildikov> jungleboyj: tnx :) 20:04:31 <ildikov> ok I think we can get into the meeting 20:04:49 <ildikov> #topic Announcements 20:05:19 <ildikov> Thanks everyone who came and helped out during those one and a half days!!! 20:05:22 <skelso> o/ 20:05:49 <ildikov> It started a bit chaotic, but we handled it pretty well as a group I think 20:06:11 <ildikov> So kudos to everyone and thanks for all the work with the prep and on site! 20:06:12 <jungleboyj> ildikov: +2 Glad I could be there and feel very good about the result. 20:06:36 <ildikov> jungleboyj: +1 :) 20:07:08 <ildikov> I hope everyone from the mentors had a good time and hopefully we can improve the training further for Sydney 20:07:30 <diablo_rojo_phon> Hello :) 20:07:32 <vkmc> o/ 20:07:34 <ildikov> #info we had 43 people showing up on Saturday and 34 on Sunday 20:07:34 <vkmc> hey 20:07:37 <jungleboyj> :-) 20:07:53 <ildikov> vkmc: diablo_rojo_phon: hey girls :) 20:08:06 <diablo_rojo_phon> :) 20:09:04 <ildikov> so we had less people than in Barcelona, but overall we had a good attendance 20:09:08 <jungleboyj> I wonder why we had fewer people on Sunday. Felt like we had more. 20:09:26 <jungleboyj> It was a more engaged group than Barcelona. 20:09:31 <ildikov> jungleboyj: I felt that way too, most probably because we had a bit more mentors than on Saturday 20:09:32 <spotz> Wow I'm surprised with less on Sunday, there seemed like a lot of new faces 20:09:46 <jungleboyj> spotz: Yep. 20:10:03 <spotz> I wonder if people just didn't sign in? 20:10:05 <jungleboyj> spotz: Some of that may have been they were more vocal and comfortable approaching us? 20:10:08 <ildikov> and the round tables can easily give the impression of having more people than with the theatre style seating 20:10:16 <spotz> jungleboyj: maybe 20:10:48 <diablo_rojo_phon> spotz: we had people at the door basically the whole time both days I think. 20:11:02 <diablo_rojo_phon> And I tried to catch people that snuck in when the door wasn't manned. 20:11:07 <diablo_rojo_phon> Idk though. 20:11:11 <jungleboyj> Interesting. 20:11:49 <ildikov> I don't know either, especially as we changed the room setup it's really hard to tell 20:11:55 <diablo_rojo_phon> We can add a question to the survey asking if they didn't attend both days and why not if they didn't. 20:12:03 <jungleboyj> I saw people from the education though actively participating in sessions at the summit so that is good. 20:12:09 <jungleboyj> diablo_rojo_phon: +2 20:12:15 <ildikov> the next mission is to keep at least some of the people around 20:12:15 <spotz> I think that would be good feedback diablo_rojo_phon 20:12:38 <diablo_rojo_phon> Easy enough to add. 20:12:43 <ildikov> there are also a few workshops of the OpenStack Academy on Sunday and I think people might checked in to those as well 20:12:52 <ildikov> diablo_rojo_phon: +1 20:13:19 <ildikov> diablo_rojo_phon: should we jump into the feedback part of the agenda? 20:13:38 <diablo_rojo_phon> Sure. 20:13:42 <ildikov> #topic Attendee Survey 20:14:03 <ildikov> we sent out a survey to the students in Barcelona and we plan that this time as well 20:14:16 <ildikov> #link https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/upstream_training_feedback_survey 20:14:36 <ildikov> so feedback from you for the feedback survey would be pretty great :) 20:14:47 <diablo_rojo_phon> That and links to the slides and reminder of the 101 channel 20:15:06 <diablo_rojo_phon> I have some tweks to make based on slide deck name changes 20:15:26 <diablo_rojo_phon> And I will add the thing about attendance and why 20:15:28 <ildikov> our idea was basically trying to get some feedback for each block while requiring only a minimal amount of typing which might increase the willingness to fill it out 20:16:10 <ildikov> diablo_rojo_phon: sounds good, tnx 20:16:35 <jungleboyj> Yeah, the module names need to be updated. 20:16:59 <jungleboyj> I was going to ask about a text input on how to improve individual sections but that would go against the minimal typing thing. ;-) 20:17:43 <jungleboyj> Jenkins -> OpenStack Project Status & Zuul 20:17:45 <ildikov> jungleboyj: we got only a few replies after Barcelona, so we might try to encourage people for that in the general what to improve and what to keep sections 20:17:59 <ildikov> but wouldn't add it to every block 20:18:15 <diablo_rojo_phon> Yeah I can change the phrasing around things. 20:18:38 <jungleboyj> Ok, yeah, maybe text input at the bottom that solicities input on individual sections if they wish to do so. 20:19:06 <spotz> I like the survey 20:19:21 <diablo_rojo_phon> Can do. 20:19:28 <diablo_rojo_phon> Thanks spotz :) 20:19:43 <spotz> One question though, who determines the more important and less important content? Us or them?:) 20:19:44 <jungleboyj> Agreed. Otherwise I like that is is easy and simple. 20:20:15 <vkmc> survey looks good! 20:20:25 <jungleboyj> spotz: Good question. :-) 20:20:31 <ildikov> spotz: I think we would like to understand what they feel as important 20:20:54 <diablo_rojo_phon> ildikov: +1 20:21:07 <spotz> ildikov: I don't think we ask them that though unless I missed it. I'll double check 20:21:13 <ildikov> spotz: and then we can tweak the material and how we present things to make other parts look important as well :) 20:21:13 <jungleboyj> 'How much time was spent covering the content that was important to you.' 20:21:17 <jungleboyj> Then ask what that was? 20:21:32 <jungleboyj> Could we do that? 20:21:40 <vkmc> jungleboyj++ 20:21:50 <vkmc> yeah, we want to know what they consider more/less important 20:21:58 <spotz> We kinda have to, nothing above it seems to say hi I'm important:) 20:22:26 <jungleboyj> Might be implied by their other answers but I think those are the most important questions. 20:22:34 <ildikov> I think last time those who took the effort to give an answer there clarified it mostly 20:22:44 <jungleboyj> Good catch spotz I had glossed over that. 20:22:51 <ildikov> but we can add an extra field and ask it explicitely 20:23:04 <jungleboyj> ildikov: ++ 20:23:06 <ildikov> until we don't add too many extra questions it should be good 20:23:12 <vkmc> ildikov++ 20:23:39 <ildikov> as if the survey looks too much effort it will remain an open tab on their browser which will eventually get closed without submitting it... 20:23:40 <diablo_rojo_phon> Hahaha yeah. I will make the changes and then I'll have you all review one more time. 20:23:41 <vkmc> less/more important can be replied in one word... I think that people is more hesitant to reply if answers require more writing 20:23:57 <ildikov> vkmc: +1 20:24:02 <diablo_rojo_phon> I'll drop it in the upstream-institute channel when I'm done. 20:24:03 <jungleboyj> vkmc: ++ 20:24:04 <spotz> hey any chance of getting a drop down so they can just select? 20:24:19 <ildikov> diablo_rojo_phon: coolio, thank you! 20:24:22 <vkmc> spotz++ 20:24:37 <vkmc> I like the dropdown idea 20:24:42 <diablo_rojo_phon> spotz: I can do radio buttons 20:25:09 <jungleboyj> diablo_rojo_phon: Can they do multiple selections with Radio Buttons? 20:25:10 <spotz> diablo_rojo_phon: That would work, just so they can select what they thing is more and less easily 20:25:18 <spotz> then answer 20:26:21 <vkmc> nope, radio buttons should be one selection 20:26:36 <diablo_rojo_phon> jungleboyj no, radio buttons are single selection. Let me see if I can do checkboxes 20:26:57 <jungleboyj> diablo_rojo_phon: That would be good. 20:27:34 <jungleboyj> Can we say that it looks like it will take 5 minutes or less to do the survey in the note sent out? ;-) 20:27:42 <diablo_rojo> Turns out formstack can actually do dropdowns. 20:27:53 <diablo_rojo> jungleboyj, yep :) I can add that wording to the email. 20:28:28 <jungleboyj> diablo_rojo: Ok. Thanks. Assuming it is still accurate. Which I think it is. 20:29:49 <diablo_rojo> We didnt do the sanbox section right? 20:29:52 <diablo_rojo> *sandbox 20:29:55 <ildikov> jungleboyj: we just need to also keep it look like doable in less than 5 minutes :) 20:30:06 <jungleboyj> diablo_rojo: Correct. 20:30:07 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: no 20:30:24 <diablo_rojo> Cool 20:31:09 <vkmc> we can put as a header... "estimated completion time: 5 minutes" 20:31:14 <vkmc> that will convince them 20:31:24 <smcginnis> hah 20:31:24 <vkmc> right? :D 20:31:35 <ildikov> vkmc: hmm :) 20:31:40 <ildikov> smcginnis: hi :) 20:31:46 <jungleboyj> vkmc: If we can put your trustworthy face next to it, maybe. ;-) 20:31:46 <smcginnis> o/ 20:32:05 <ildikov> smcginnis: we're chatting about this survey: https://openstackfoundation.formstack.com/forms/upstream_training_feedback_survey 20:32:07 <vkmc> jungleboyj, me? haha 20:32:11 <diablo_rojo> ildikov, did we skip the OS as a Software and OS as a Community sections too? 20:32:14 <vkmc> they will trust because we are upstream university! 20:32:22 <jungleboyj> diablo_rojo: No, we did those. 20:32:22 <smcginnis> ildikov: Thanks. I've been lurking for a bit. :) 20:32:24 <ildikov> smcginnis: we want to send this out to the students asking for feedback about the training 20:32:25 <vkmc> s/university/institute/g 20:32:28 <diablo_rojo> jungleboyj, thanks 20:32:30 <ildikov> smcginnis: haha, ok :) 20:32:31 <diablo_rojo> couldnt remember 20:32:43 <jungleboyj> diablo_rojo: You were out at that time I think. 20:32:55 <diablo_rojo> Might have been still trying to get tables 20:33:02 <jungleboyj> :-) 20:33:11 <jungleboyj> Fires fires, everywhere. 20:33:11 <spotz> heheh 20:33:26 <diablo_rojo> jungleboyj, day one that was the case 20:33:29 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: I ran through those first ones quickly as part of the intro block 20:33:58 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: I think we can skip the introduction question though 20:34:14 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: no matter what people say we need to introduce ourselves anyhow :) 20:34:16 <jungleboyj> ildikov: ++ that shortens things up. 20:34:31 <jungleboyj> I also felt like the way we handled that was much better. 20:34:59 <diablo_rojo> Almost done making changes. few more min 20:35:03 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: we had the Metrics one this time 20:35:17 <ildikov> jungleboyj: +1 20:36:18 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: we can have the OS as Software and as Community one question maybe as they are short intro blocks 20:36:28 <ildikov> so we can have the survey look shorter still 20:36:50 <jungleboyj> ildikov: ++ 20:37:06 <jungleboyj> So just collapse the first section into one question? 20:37:34 <smcginnis> That makes sense to me. 20:37:36 <ildikov> jungleboyj: remove the Introduction and collapse the remaining two 20:38:00 <jungleboyj> ildikov: Right, I think that makes sense. 20:38:01 <ildikov> jungleboyj: if there were no exercises we could even skip that part, but we do, so let's see what people think about that 20:38:12 <jungleboyj> ++ 20:38:51 <ildikov> anything else for the survey? 20:39:47 <jungleboyj> We'll see how it looks now. :-) 20:40:22 <diablo_rojo> refresh and you should see the updates 20:41:18 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: can the drop down list fixed to show the very helpful option by default? :) 20:41:37 <diablo_rojo> Ha ha I have to go through and reorder the options but yes I can do that 20:41:54 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: if you think it makes sense 20:42:29 <jungleboyj> diablo_rojo: Yeah ... lets flip the order. ;-) 20:42:32 <ildikov> I don't want to influence people, but they might get more into constructive mode if they see the more positive option first 20:43:00 <ildikov> it didn't matter with the radio buttons as you could see all of them at the same time anyway 20:43:13 <vkmc> this is a nit but... "Which modules do you feel were more unimportant?*" s/more unimportant/less important/g 20:43:29 <smcginnis> vkmc: +1 20:43:35 <diablo_rojo> This is tedious AF lol 20:43:52 <diablo_rojo> vkmc, oops I can fix that 20:44:01 <smcginnis> Can we default all the drop down responses to "Helpful" or "NA"? 20:44:35 <smcginnis> Just thinking if they get there and then decide they don't really care, if they just hit submit there will be a few as Very Helpful and a bunch as Not Helpful. 20:44:47 <smcginnis> Safer to have a more neutral default response maybe? 20:45:02 <ildikov> smcginnis: yeah, makes sense 20:45:18 <vkmc> smcginnis++ 20:45:19 <diablo_rojo> smcginnis, suuuuure right after I get done changing every one of them ;) 20:45:43 <vkmc> diablo_rojo, <3 20:45:57 <ildikov> :) 20:46:02 <ildikov> ok, we have 15 minutes left from the meeting 20:46:07 <jungleboyj> So, We don't have a 1 to 1 match between the modules on the web page and the Helpful/Not Helpful list. Is that on purpose? 20:46:19 <smcginnis> diablo_rojo: (。◕‿◕。) 20:46:26 <diablo_rojo> smcginnis, :P 20:46:32 <diablo_rojo> @! 20:46:39 <smcginnis> No bot for you! 20:46:40 <diablo_rojo> Oh sad the bot isnt here? 20:46:43 <jungleboyj> diablo_rojo: Yeah, I was just wishing we had that in here. 20:47:01 <ildikov> let's finish the survey on the channel and get into a bit of a retrospective in case there are more comments we could'should add to the etherpad 20:47:01 <jungleboyj> (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ 20:47:04 <spotz> heheh 20:47:04 <jungleboyj> There you go. 20:47:19 <diablo_rojo> ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ノ︵ ┻━┻ 20:47:37 <ildikov> Monday meetings rock! :) 20:47:40 * jungleboyj would like to see that. 20:47:41 <smcginnis> What have I done? :) 20:47:53 <jungleboyj> smcginnis: Watch out. 20:47:59 <ildikov> smcginnis: it wasn't you, it was me :) 20:48:03 <smcginnis> hah 20:48:05 <diablo_rojo> smcginnis, you are making me change something I just spent ten min changing ;) 20:48:20 <diablo_rojo> smcginnis, ildikov I blame you both ;) 20:48:29 <smcginnis> hehe 20:48:44 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: you can blame me any time 20:48:46 <ildikov> :) 20:48:56 <ildikov> ok, let's retrospect 20:49:46 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: or maybe the non-attendee survey idea first 20:50:15 <smcginnis> It would be great to know why some weren't able to attend. 20:50:41 <jungleboyj> smcginnis: ++ 20:51:07 <spotz> ++ 20:51:40 <ildikov> sometimes I feel like asking the opposite TBH :) 20:51:53 <ildikov> but we can send out a quick email and ask why they finally didn't come 20:51:53 <diablo_rojo> I would guess it is mostly because people didnt realize it was the weekend before and their companies wouldnt fund the weekend before too 20:52:02 <mrhillsman> ^ 20:52:08 <ildikov> I have a few responses who couldn't figure out travel 20:52:13 <diablo_rojo> Not sure we have enough to ask to warrant a whole survey 20:52:34 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: I would only send a mail with one question 20:52:42 <diablo_rojo> ildikov, +1 20:52:43 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: I can draft it after the meeting 20:53:16 <jungleboyj> ildikov: I think that makes sense if it is a small number. 20:53:56 <ildikov> jungleboyj: 20-ish people 20:54:15 <ildikov> we just don't have that much to ask about why they didn't come 20:54:41 <ildikov> they only thing we can do better is visualizing and advertising it better it's the weekend before 20:55:10 <ildikov> although when people signed up it was with the right date in the agenda, so I'm not sure how much we can help 20:55:34 <ildikov> we surely need to fix the graphics on the web that shows the main activities during the event as that diagram shows only Sunday 20:55:41 <diablo_rojo> ildikov, +1 20:55:44 <ildikov> I will bring it up to the team 20:56:03 * diablo_rojo finished updating the survey again.. 20:56:10 <jungleboyj> ildikov: Sounds good. Lets e-mail and see what we get. 20:56:22 <vkmc> diablo_rojo++ 20:56:52 * jungleboyj refreshes 20:56:53 <spotz> Maybe social media? 20:57:17 <smcginnis> 3 minutes 20:57:21 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: looks good, tnx 20:57:24 <ildikov> smcginnis: tnx 20:57:49 <spotz> Do we want to ask which day they attend? Sat, Sun, or both? 20:58:10 <jungleboyj> (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ 20:58:14 <diablo_rojo> spotz, I dont think we will really do anything with that info 20:58:21 <diablo_rojo> but I can add it if you think its important 20:58:31 <diablo_rojo> We are already asking them a LOT 20:58:38 <ildikov> diablo_rojo: +1 20:58:41 <jungleboyj> diablo_rojo: +1 20:58:47 <ildikov> let's focus on the content more 20:59:03 <spotz> I'd be curious if we lost them due to content, we could just changte the did you attend both days to which days did you attend with 2 responses 20:59:05 <diablo_rojo> Honestly I am feeling like we can take out the how helpfuls.. since we have the importance stuff 20:59:07 <ildikov> the bigger issue is that they don't stick around even f we can get them in the room for two days 20:59:18 <ildikov> but let's figure it out on the channel and/or next week 20:59:24 <diablo_rojo> spotz, I think they can add that in the short answer asking why they didnt go to both 20:59:32 <spotz> ok 20:59:43 <diablo_rojo> Good question though :) 21:00:19 <ildikov> ok let's move to the channel, time's up :) 21:00:28 <ildikov> #endmeeting
