One thing that we should have done better was send the notice for people to opt-in to CIVS emails much sooner. 15:20:20 ++ 15:20:49 how does the number of eligible voters compare to previous elections? 15:20:59 We hadn't run an election in over a year, so between the officials there was little experience actually running one. ianychoi[m] did a great job uploading the rolls and kicking things off. 15:21:05 It sounds, however, like if people where eligible they will see the poll pending when they opt-in 15:21:31 I don't have that data yet. I can report back on the next meeting about it. 15:21:35 knikolla: Yes. Thank you ianchoi[m] ! 15:21:58 +1, ianychoi[m] is always helpful in every election. 15:22:27 arne_wiebalck: I think actual votes might be less due to CIVS opt-in things 15:22:29 54 people have voted so far out of 395 eligible voters on the TC election. 15:22:44 lol 15:22:46 many might have missed to opt-in and missed the poll email 15:23:03 maybe we should send some reminder about it? 15:23:11 and for ironic 10 out of 34. 15:23:12 knikolla: 395 eligible but do we know how many opt-in the CIVS email things? 15:23:12 slaweq: ++ 15:23:25 +1 on reminder 15:23:34 i think in the reminder, we can stress that if you opt-in, you can vote immediately 15:23:46 yeah 15:23:57 i had the impression from the earlier emails that if you didn't opt-in before the poll started, you were out of luck 15:24:01 rosmaita: Good idea. 15:24:05 but if they have not opt-in then are we going to send poll email again? or they just missed it 15:24:08 rosmaita: this was my understanding as well 15:24:28 rosmaita: we can resend the email. I did for TC election 15:24:31 gmann: I don't think they then get the poll e-mail. 15:24:33 gmann: i think what happens is that when you opt-in it shows up as one of the polls you can take 15:24:34 i think we just never tested whether you get a ballot immediately after opting in or need to be re-added to the rolls 15:24:40 but TC voter were less and resneding were doable 15:24:57 fungi: I did in TC election and it worked 15:25:07 awesome! that's helpful 15:25:28 we need to add email again that is why I asked if that is doable in this election or not 15:25:33 this is the first time we've held a poll for a tc election since civs introduced their opt-in policy, so it's been a bit of an unknown 15:25:49 for TC internal election for something was just for 9 member 15:26:08 yeah, many or I will say most of community are unkown of it 15:26:40 fungi: ok, that explains it ... i had no memory of ever having to do this for previous elections 15:26:54 they put it into place ~1.5 years ago, i think 15:26:56 knikolla:jungleboyj I think sending reminder on ML is good option and then see how many had opt-in. 15:26:59 but you don't have to opt in every time right? 15:27:04 just once per address ever 15:27:16 and if anyone ask to resend poll after opt-in then you can see if that is doable 15:27:18 dansmith: i believe that's correct 15:27:18 dansmith: i think you remain opted in for that address indefinitely, at least that's how it's seemed 15:27:20 i'll see if I can dig in information about how many people voted in prior TC elections percentage-wise. 15:27:25 dalees: yes, only one time 15:27:27 I tried to opt-in this last time because I couldn't remember, and it told me I was already opted in 15:27:31 fungi: ++ 15:27:32 yeah 15:27:36 dansmith: yes. one time 15:27:44 Yes, when I tried to opt-in it told me I already had for that e-mail. 15:27:52 yeah 15:28:14 I can resend the reminder e-mail I sent earlier. 15:28:35 thansk 15:28:42 anything else on election? 15:29:13 from PTL nomination, 9 project were without nomination. good news is that we found leaders for all 9 #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/2023.1-leaderless 15:29:43 wallaby TC election had 181 votes out of 619 15:30:54 knikolla: yeah, that is usually trend. more then ~120 this time can be good number I think 15:30:54 so we're running about half that participation right now 15:30:54 so proportionally, about half, yes 15:31:45 few of project like Zun, Swift who have same PTL for many cycle and we have to appoint PTL for them (Zun for many cycle). I think we should talk to them to move to DPL model. what you say? 15:31:53 also, in case anyone has questions about the number of eligible voters being lower this time, i looked into it and it seems like we have fewer and fewer contributors joining the foundation as individual members, or their memberships are lapsing because of not voting consistently in board of directors elections, or they're not keeping their e-mail addresses updated in their foundation 15:31:55 profiles whenever they change them in gerrit 15:32:05 that will avoid election cost for those such project 15:32:14 fungi: i was just going to ask that, thanks 15:32:15 and they can move back to PTL model anytime like keystone did 15:33:02 rosmaita: yeah, it was something like 918 contributors with valid contributions to qualify as voters, but only around 40% had matching foundation individual memberships 15:33:05 or one way is to ask all these 9 projects to mode to DPL model of they want or can check in their team 15:33:09 gmann: i don't know, DPL seems more problematic ... easier to strong-arm someone to be PTL 15:33:19 and see how many move to DPL model 15:33:42 E-mail on opting in sent. 15:33:55 thanks jungleboyj 15:33:56 jungleboyj++ thx 15:34:10 rosmaita: agree but many of these projects miss PTL nomination in every election and we have appoint same PTL in every cycle 15:34:14 jungleboyj: thanks 15:34:38 that is unnecessary overhead for election official as well as on TC 15:34:49 gmann I think that we can terll those projects that they can consider such switch in before next cycle but I don't think we should do that for all of them 15:35:06 well, i am thinking that there is more TC monitoring involved when a project goes to DPL 15:35:14 i think in situations were the team doesn't express a desire to move to a DPL model, it's because their contributors don't have enough time to take on the responsibilities and a DPL model might exacerbate that by not having someone accountable. 15:35:20 slaweq: not for all of them. who all want to switch 15:35:24 knikolla: ++ 15:35:27 In keystone we basically stopped running the weekly meeting 15:35:36 Nobody felt accountable to do it. 15:35:46 gmann: we can talk with teams abolut such possibility 15:35:57 knikolla: ohk, that is interesting data and feedback 15:36:11 slaweq: ++ good topic for the PTL/TC interaction meeting 15:36:17 ok let's talk to few of them like Zun 15:36:44 during last summit in Berlin I was on the session about keystone and how it was "revived" 15:36:46 I will check and see if few of them like Zun or other are interested 15:36:53 rosmaita: ++ 15:37:05 keystone is good example to consider DPL model 15:37:17 and one interesting thing which they told me is that we should monitor how much of the contribution to the project comes from single company/person 15:37:33 rosmaita: +1, feel free to add in etherpad #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/tc-leaders-interaction-2023-1 15:37:38 slaweq: yeah, by RH injecting 3 new people to it. 15:37:55 as this can be one of the potential warning flags about project's health 15:37:57 keystone was using dpl and switched back in april 15:38:02 so I have it on my todo to write some tool to check it but I didn't had time for it 15:38:07 but I will get to it 15:38:20 slaweq: I feel company diversity is major issue in many projects 15:38:27 slaweq: thanks +1 15:38:32 er, s/april/february/ 15:38:41 slaweq: was that keystone revival summit session recorded? 15:38:51 rosmaita: yes, it's on youtube. 15:38:57 cool 15:39:20 so if the suggestion is for keystone to go from ptl back to dpl again, it would probably be a good idea to revisit why they stopped with the dpl model the first time 15:39:21 please paste link if you have handy 15:39:35 anything else on election or leaderless project? 15:39:59 fungi: i'm happy to talk about that now, if this is the right time and meeting 15:40:10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujq8I8wPpng&list=PLKqaoAnDyfgqUDjoZhZnDKF5aJrLMnm9E&index=93 15:40:21 we are not talking about keystone moving to DPL, discussion is for other project 15:40:23 slaweq: thanks 15:40:47 keystone found PTL model is more suitable than DPL 15:40:53 gmann: thanks, i guess i misunderstood what you meant by "keystone is good example to consider DPL model" 15:40:59 and that is good feedback for other projects moving to DPL 15:41:07 fungi: ohk :) 15:41:21 sounded like you were proposing to switch them to dpl again, sorry ;) 15:41:26 perhaps a better phrasing "keystone is a good example of experiences with dpl model" 15:41:30 gmann maybe we should also use https://github.com/openstack/governance/blob/master/tools/project_stats_check.py and check health of those 9 projects? 15:41:33 no, for other project missed nomination 15:41:43 and then reach out to those teams maybe 15:41:50 but after seeing keystone feedback I agree that we should ask/force all those project to DPL 15:42:14 I'm hesitant of using the word force. 15:42:15 slaweq: +1, I will put some data in etherpad and in next meeting or so we can discuss if any project can be in DPL 15:42:29 gmann thx 15:42:48 anything else on this topic ? 15:43:34 sorry for my typo 15:43:43 * I agree that we should NOT ask all those project to DPL 15:43:45 the tc can't force people to volunteer, but it can remove projects if they fail to identify any leadership 15:43:54 I missed the NOT 15:43:59 what? we can't? 15:44:03 ok, now i feel better 15:44:06 ah :) 15:44:20 :) 15:44:36 The power of one word in a sentence. 15:44:50 Or punctuation. :-) 15:44:55 :) 15:44:56 yeah and my most common mistake in english :) 15:45:05 mine too! 15:45:12 :) 15:45:27 moving to next topic 15:45:28 #topic Open Reviews 15:45:33 #link https://review.opendev.org/q/projects:openstack/governance+is:open 15:45:37 we have four open review 15:45:49 this is ready, #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/856927 15:46:04 this too #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/857493 15:46:39 elodilles: this WIP for long time, do you want to reiterate it?
