Doing that now. 20:10:41 ildikov, how many? 20:11:09 diablo_rojo: 18 20:11:41 we're trying to reach out to locals and also students 20:11:53 I hope it will bring up the numbers a little 20:12:33 Maybe we should send something to the ML telling people to communicate to their companies that this is a good opportunity for people to get started? 20:13:32 and figure some one show up 20:13:33 More communication never hurts. 20:13:44 jungleboyj, +1 20:13:57 well, that's an option, I don't think it will help that much though, especially that we're pretty close now 20:14:02 We should also emphasize the dates. 20:14:15 Maybe we can get Anne to do some tweets about it? 20:14:30 * diablo_rojo hasn't seen any yet but may be missing them if there have been 20:14:35 yep, dates are important, there are always people, who get confused 20:14:43 diablo_rojo: I asked her last week 20:14:45 I saw outreachy, I need to tweet git and gerrit too 20:15:05 diablo_rojo: also Sonia to reach out to locals, will ask again 20:16:39 ildikov, oh nice, maybe they just haven't started yet. And cool, hopefully Sonia can drum up some interest too. 20:16:50 also if any of you feel like Tweeting about the upcoming occasions, etc please do so! :) 20:17:27 WIll do ildikov 20:17:34 spotz: thanks! 20:17:53 I will retweet when I see them :) 20:17:58 hehehe 20:18:02 ok, I think we can move on 20:18:09 diablo_rojo: I'm good at that too :) 20:18:15 #topic Prep for Sydney 20:18:27 I still owe the woo list an email so need to do that tonight first 20:18:40 so we should go through the material and see what needs to get cleaned up 20:18:53 spotz: don't get me started on mails ;) 20:19:15 ildikov: Has a complete run been done since Boston, or only a tagged version? 20:19:24 ildikov: Yeah, I have a todo to get the OpenStack Status and Zuul stuff reworked. Haven't forgotten. 20:19:27 we are getting close to have the first version of the Contributor Portal up, but that's not a target for Sydney 20:19:41 * smcginnis sneaks in very late 20:19:41 spotz: I went through it internally. 20:19:44 spotz: we had only the office hours, no training 20:20:07 Ok jungleboyj that makes you the most recent user, thoughts for clean up? 20:20:23 jungleboyj: I knew you had a TODO on something :) 20:20:41 :-) Well, other than the section I have a to-do on, it was received pretty well. 20:21:00 I think I wanted to clean up the registration and accounts one to reflect the recent changes, but I'm not sure I've actually done that 20:21:25 Ugh I had just redone those for Boston! 20:22:43 Poor Stacky McStackface..already out of date 20:22:55 spotz: we don't require Foundation membership now for contribution 20:24:41 but no big updates there 20:25:04 so it seems that we are mainly good with the content 20:25:15 Thank goodness. 20:25:32 jungleboyj: do you also use all the exercises? 20:25:36 * diablo_rojo doesn't have a ton of time to help fix things if there were 20:25:42 we could give some thought on how to run them better 20:25:59 with diablo_rojo and our design team we are also trying to get stickers for the occasion 20:26:07 need to double check with Wes 20:26:21 Maybe spotz can score some more cool github stickers. :) 20:26:28 ildikov, I think he said he could do table tents too, not sure where all that is currently 20:26:34 I used some of them. It was hard, however, with the students being in China. 20:26:47 smcginnis: +1, I like OctoCat :) 20:26:56 smcginnis: Thanks for the reminder:) Git and Gerrit is back on the sched:) 20:26:58 diablo_rojo: me neither 20:27:02 Those were pretty cool. And gone in minutes. 20:27:34 spotz: If they have a CoffeeCat, we need to set that aside for ildikov. 20:27:43 CoffeeOctoCat 20:27:47 smcginnis: lol, +1 :) 20:27:57 smcginnis: if they don't, they should!!! 20:28:16 They have everything else. :) 20:28:29 smcginnis: WIll do, I'll get cheat sheets and stickers for 75 between upstream institute and git and gerrit? 20:29:01 spotz: That would be cool. A little extra incentive to attend. ;;) 20:29:14 spotz: awesomeness :) 20:29:31 spotz, yes please!! 20:30:03 request made:) 20:30:15 spotz: thank you :) 20:30:31 ildikov: You're welcome. They;ve never turned me down so... :) 20:30:55 And if anyone is free for Lunch on Wednesday:) 20:30:58 spotz: :) 20:31:17 spotz: I will add it to my calendar 20:31:34 Just gonna do basics as it didn't get on the schedule this late, help folks get signed up and and installed. If we get farther great:) 20:31:38 spotz: I might have a collision though, don't know yet 20:32:15 basics are always good :) 20:33:51 spotz, I'll be there if I can too :) 20:33:57 dhellmann, gcb: that shoudl be fine. It's a little late but still in my comfort zone 20:34:06 yes they are. But I like the idea of Upstream Institiute stickers... we should get our own mascot! 20:34:27 tonyb: wrong channel, but I'll be able to pay you back that drink:) 20:34:38 spotz: yep :) 20:34:47 Is the Wednesday lunch like the one in Boston? 20:34:50 :( 20:34:53 smcginnis: Yeah 20:35:04 Cool, I will try to be there. 20:35:15 though last minute and probably more disorganized:) 20:35:32 Gotta keep the status quo. ;) 20:35:42 And I am planning to be there. 20:36:00 :) 20:37:39 ok, looks like we're kinda set for Sydney 20:37:47 besides some small updates 20:38:10 let's figure out how to do exercises better, especially if we will have stickers this time 20:38:29 ildikov: Depending we may be able to photshop without having to create yet another user 20:38:42 I will create an etherpad with the modules, please sign up for presenting/leading them 20:38:54 ildikov, thank you :) 20:38:58 And will do 20:39:01 ildikov: Will do. 20:39:34 Yeah, need to figure out how to make the exercises go better. Hopefully waiting to get them a development environment will help keep them focused? 20:39:52 spotz: :) 20:40:04 jungleboyj: we will give it to them at the end of the first day 20:40:10 jungleboyj: not any sooner 20:40:14 It should help, and rewards and getting folks to interact will help 20:40:20 so we need to figure out IRC 20:40:29 spotz: +1 20:40:36 ildikov: ++ 20:40:42 Well it stands for Internet Relay Chat...... 20:40:43 Can focus on etherpads for answering day one and irc for answering day 2 20:41:17 that way they get to know two of the main sources of communication? - besides the ML 20:41:21 spotz: :P 20:41:50 ooohhhh what if we have a competition for people to figure out each others nicks? Maybe not everyones but at least 1 person 20:41:51 I meant that if they don't have the VM image with the client, then we need alternatives 20:42:12 limechat, webchat? 20:42:32 diablo_rojo: yep, that should work too, at least I didn't create the etherpads for nothing :D 20:43:11 spotz: earlier we were worrying about limitations on connections at least for Webchat IIRC 20:43:35 hrm 20:43:52 I'm happy if that's not the case :) 20:44:20 ildikov: Yeah, etherpads for the first day are fine. Teaches them about one of our forms of communication. 20:44:33 ildikov, like what happened at the PTG? 20:44:44 jungleboyj, lol that's basically what I said. 20:45:03 Webchat might actually be the best. For those at overly security conscious employers, sometimes that's the only option. 20:45:19 Oh, yeah. :-) 20:45:34 What happened at the PTG?!!!!! 20:45:36 Could be slightly confusing if they learn something, then go back home and can't figure out why it doesn't work there. 20:45:42 IRCCloud :) 20:45:46 What happens at the PTG, stays at the PTG. 20:46:01 But but I had to go to LA for Open Source Summit!!!! 20:46:16 spotz: Wish I could have done both! 20:46:16 I should tell them that I want some percentage on their sales, I advertise them so much... :) 20:46:42 smcginnis: Me too:( 20:46:43 diablo_rojo: sort of :) 20:48:28 ildikov: It is good stuff. 20:48:37 :) 20:49:05 BTW, kmARC is still working on the VM image, he faced with some RabbitMQ issues last week 20:49:18 I hope it gets fixed soon so we can test it before the training 20:49:35 if not, the training will be even more interesting for those who attend :) 20:50:52 ildikov: It wouldn't be training without image excitement. 20:51:11 jungleboyj: true :) 20:51:38 #topic Open discussion 20:51:50 I think we were partially there anyway :) 20:52:22 so home work is to figure out a good way to execute on the exercises 20:52:44 #action jungleboyj and ildikov to do updates on Zuul and accounts 20:52:49 I think part of it is to better time box things. Not wander off into individual conversations. 20:52:54 ildikov: ++ 20:53:19 Set up a timer for exercises and give out stickers. See if it keeps people engaged and moving. 20:53:20 #action everyone to sign up for modules to present at the training, ildikov to send the etherpad for that 20:54:05 jungleboyj: yep, we can still have Q&A after the exercise 20:55:29 anything else for the last 5 minutes? 20:56:41 I got nothing 20:57:01 Nothing here. 20:57:08 ok, then thanks everyone for today! 20:57:13 Thanks! 20:57:16 ildikov: Thanks! 20:57:18 it was great to have a meeting again finally :) 20:57:24 have a good rest of the day! 20:57:30 You too. 20:57:41 see you on the channel and here two weeks from today! 20:57:52 #endmeeting
