14:02:16 <robertcathey_> o/
14:02:53 <zhipeng> hey robert
14:03:02 <robertcathey_> Hi, Thomas.
14:03:21 <robertcathey_> ...Howard. Apologies.
14:03:33 <zhipeng> haha no problem
14:04:11 <zhipeng> #topic OpenStack Public Cloud End User Survey
14:04:39 <zhipeng> robertcathey_ the floor is yours sir :)
14:04:55 <robertcathey_> Thanks!
14:05:17 <robertcathey_> We're following up on a discussion held in Dublin about a short survey (poll) of public cloud end users.
14:05:46 <robertcathey_> Allison, Lauren, and I have come up with a game plan that we'd like to share with you for feedback.
14:05:59 <robertcathey_> Take a look:
14:06:00 <robertcathey_> https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/PCWG_EndUserPoll
14:06:34 <robertcathey_> Maybe take 2-3 mins to read over it, then ping once you're back on IRC
14:07:05 <aprice> to provide some background
14:07:59 <aprice> i think that tobberydberg was part of this discussion as well, but we want to further support the public cloud working group and gather input around end user adoption of OpenStack public clouds
14:08:18 <zhipeng> this looks absolutely great to me
14:08:35 <aprice> we have gotten a lot of positive feedback from passport program participants around wanting to collaborate more on public cloud promotion, so I think that this could be a great collaboration across many companies
14:08:36 <aprice> awesome!
14:09:54 <robertcathey_> The goals are to keep it short so we can field it quickly, encourage more people to complete it, and merchandise it as a poll so that it's understood to be directional data, not something as rigorous as the User Survey.
14:10:26 <robertcathey_> Due to the short time frame, we probably need to keep in in English. Hopefully, that's not a major barrier.
14:11:21 <zhipeng> the only thing I could suggest is to add one question regarding the most desired feature
14:11:31 <rmart04> Howdy folks, Looks good to me!
14:12:51 <zhipeng> robertcathey_ so we will anouce the result of the survey at Vancouver ?
14:13:54 <robertcathey_> That's the goal, yes
14:14:51 <aprice> we would need to get started quickly to achieve this, and I think that robertcathey_ outlined a very good timeline to achieve this.
14:15:05 <zhipeng> yes I think the timeline is very reasonable
14:16:26 <pilgrimstack1> zhipeng: question regarding the most desired feature => it's hard to manage that, it depends on each PC
14:16:59 <zhipeng> pilgrimstack1 my thought is that the goal of the survey is to get a feeling
14:17:15 <zhipeng> i think this could accompany the feature list we have been doing
14:17:26 <zhipeng> we could cross verified the top priorities
14:17:51 <robertcathey_> One idea to address this is to allow open-ended text for that question.
14:18:15 <robertcathey_> Then, our team could "code" the responses. That is, we'd read each response, then assign it to predefined categories we come up with.
14:18:38 <robertcathey_> It's not perfect, but it's a good way to get reasonably well classified responses from open-ended responses.
14:18:49 <zhipeng> good idea
14:19:22 <robertcathey_> We could have 5-6 prompted responses, followed by "other"
14:19:51 <zhipeng> yep
14:19:55 <zhipeng> :)
14:20:03 <zhipeng> sounds great
14:21:13 <robertcathey_> Cool. For the next step, we'll draft the poll and solicit the group's input. Sound good?
14:21:37 <zhipeng> look forward to it :)
14:21:43 <robertcathey_> Keep in mind... this is a poll... lightweight, short, can be completed in 5 minutes.
14:21:44 <zhipeng> thx allison and robert
14:21:51 <zhipeng> definitely
14:22:35 <robertcathey_> Thanks, everyone. I'm going to jump off IRC now and start sorting out the questions.
14:23:36 <zhipeng> no problem
14:24:17 <zhipeng> #topic vancouver forum brainstorming
14:24:41 <zhipeng> #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/YVR-publiccloud-wg-brainstorming
14:25:38 <zhipeng> so from etherpad we already have three great topics
14:25:51 <zhipeng> anyone got some other ideas ?
14:31:10 <zhipeng> okey if you guys got any new ideas plz add it on the etherpad
14:31:30 <zhipeng> and please also add your name if you are going to vancouver
14:32:33 <aprice> are we going to do any Forum sessions around the Passport Program?
14:32:47 <zhipeng> i think tobias proposed one
14:33:04 <aprice> ha - yep on line 29
14:33:08 <aprice> sorry :)
14:35:31 <zhipeng> no worries :)
14:36:03 <zhipeng> for the blockchain proposal I have been working with the ETC community, hopefully we could have a short demo to do during the forum session
14:36:25 <aprice> awesome!
14:37:15 <zhipeng> #topic AoB
14:37:25 <aprice> I have an update from a recent board meeting
14:37:29 <aprice> passing along from Chris Hoge
14:37:38 <zhipeng> asprice plz go ahead
14:37:51 <aprice> the Foundation Board of Directors just approved Designate as an add-on program for the OpenStack Powered Program.
14:38:15 <aprice> we are hoping to understand how many public clouds plan to take advantage of delivering the Designate DNS APIs and getting the additional certification
14:39:00 <zhipeng> could that also be part of the survey ?
14:39:56 <aprice> well the survey is going to the end users and I think that we can include that in the feature question, but I think that we are hoping to understand if any of the public cloud providers are planning to integrate this into their offering now
14:41:10 <zhipeng> okey got it
14:41:29 <zhipeng> i think that could be part of the forum session topic
14:42:05 <aprice> OK - I can circle back with him to see if we just want to reach out to current Powered providers now and either way if we want to go ahead and plan to have something in the Forum about it.
14:42:21 <aprice> I imagine we may need to do outreach pre-Vancouver, but agree that having an update there would be good.
14:42:43 <zhipeng> yes definitely
14:42:55 <aprice> ok cool
14:43:01 <aprice> that's all from me :)
14:43:48 <zhipeng> many thx again :)
14:44:06 <aprice> no problem!
14:45:51 <zhipeng> okey if there is no other topics, we could conclude the meeting earlier :)
