So I wanted to bee sure there would bee some repreentation before putting in for a UC time slot. 13:55:38 has it been replaced with just the PTG and OpenDev? 13:55:46 that is my question. no summit for vancouver? 13:56:21 There's is just this one in the US, it's supposed to have vendors and such but it's not a fullblown Summit. That will be Berlin in October 13:56:35 so that means no CFP for Vancouver? 13:57:23 Actually there will be as Ashleee mailed out looking for Track Chairs and modeeerators 13:57:46 do we expect users or just developers since it will be a PTG? 13:58:46 It's beeing targeted for both. I'll grab the mail real quiick to confirm but forum type event in the morning with PTG in the afternoon. Each day I think with a keeynote but let me confirm all that real quick 13:59:16 I did outreach to the projects that I've supported with workshops in past years and none plan to conduct workshops in Vancouver. Kayobe, StarlingX. 13:59:31 OpenDev + PTG is a new collaborative event organized by the OpenStack Foundation gathering developers, system architects, and operators to address common open source infrastructure challenges. 13:59:47 OpenDev will include discussion oriented sessions around a particular topic to explore a problem within a topic area, share common architectures, and collaborate around potential solutions. This OpenDev will focus specifically on the following Tracks, spanning open source projects, including Airship, Ansible, Ceph, Kata Containers, Kubernetes, OpenStack, StarlingX, and Zuul: 13:59:47 Hardware Automation 13:59:47 Large-scale Usage of Open Source Infrastructure Software 13:59:49 Containers in Production 13:59:51 Key Challenges for Open Source in 2020 13:59:59 if there won't be workshops, I won't have funding to attend 14:00:51 I'm not specifically seeing workshops listed. Maybee check with Ashleee? 14:00:53 it will be difficult to get funding from the company, if there is no presentation to do, workshop to lead, ... 14:03:14 I will point out there will bee TSP available but understand 14:04:31 I can use Airship PTG as a reason for attending, however, I will know if I can go in May. 14:04:42 so maybe we skip Yancouver and hope for Berlin? 14:04:47 Yeah it's just not clear on the workshops and such 14:05:21 are we supposed to present at the board meeting? 14:06:54 We are planning on a Joint Leadership meeting on Sunday yes. Feedback in the last board meeting was that they were positive and helpful. 14:07:14 so maybe we dialin? 14:07:24 Mainly myseelf and Julia who wasa TC thought they were good 14:08:07 studarus: Dialin or if needed I don't mind filling in for the current UC as needed. Provided I don't end up with a ton on my plate, which I'm not expecting 14:11:53 I'll probably put in for 1 diversity WG session and I offered to moderate 14:14:10 15 minutes left, I'd say we need to find out about workshops from OSF and then can figure out next week. But I can stand in if needed for a session 14:14:25 ok! 14:14:30 Anything else on this? 14:15:07 #topic Merger Update 14:15:55 I emaileed out a link to the TC meeting where ttx was giving an update. It seens the goveernance changes need to mergee the 2 groups are goingg to bee quite lengthy 14:16:16 And I really neeed my keyboard fixed:( 14:17:35 Did anyone get a chance to read it? 14:18:02 not yet, I will find it 14:19:52 I'm not sure which way things are going to go, but I don't think anything will happen for 6-12 months the eaarliest 14:22:59 Without aanyonee reading the maiil yet we should move to new business aand we can add this for the aagendaa for next week 14:24:44 okay 14:24:46 #topic Open Discussion 14:25:00 Anyone have anything? 14:25:12 just that the Ambassador page is gone 14:25:38 I sent out an email about how the CNCF is running local events 14:25:40 Ok that's a jimmy question 14:25:58 they have a GitHub page where you add your event to get approved 14:26:13 we never had a good process to get local days approved 14:26:20 so it might make sense to copy 14:26:34 does local days needs to be approved? in what criteria? 14:26:35 or do something via Git 14:26:50 yes, it has to go to the foundation for their blessing 14:26:54 otherwise you can't use the name 14:27:14 they like to see funding and organizer support listed 14:27:38 the requirements were never officially stated and varied from event to event 14:28:17 and the foundation would provide some funding if specific criteria was met 14:28:23 there has been some requirements from the foundation since they branded "openstack days" in .. several years ago. 14:29:01 yeah - it would be nice to have an open process for people to find other people interested in running events 14:29:26 the CNCF process is good at bringing together interested organizers in a city that may not know each other 14:29:32 Yeah I'm not sure if we'ree openinfra or opendev 14:29:49 then, from last year, some of local "days" changed its name slightly so that it can involve other technologies such as containers, kubernetes, etc. 14:30:41 OpenDev is the new name for the projects around Zuul 14:30:42 i will look at CNCF process. however, personally, i don't like how LF deals with local user groups. OpenStack Foundation is better since it gives some freedome (flexibility) to local user group. LF is really tight on their policy. 14:31:04 CNCF is giving $$$ in swag to meetup groups - it is real nice 14:31:25 we spoke about doing that through an OpenStack swag store but I don't think it got off the ground 14:31:36 it would be nice to support the local user groups with swag 14:33:32 time is up? 14:33:37 my opinion might be a bit biased since Korea has a well-established local user groups that can do things on its own. :) Flexibility was "a really needed point" for us to run local days combining openstack, kubernetes, ceph, and even ocp together. Since most of participants are same people. 14:33:40 yeap. :) 14:33:42 time is up 14:34:01 #endmeeting
