She didn't think the bot was here 20:15:28 rockyg, spotz my client just had a siezure 20:15:30 I can see you now lol 20:15:33 Looks like she has the bot on her computer, but not on her phone. 20:15:36 So from my view I was talking to myself for 15 min lol. 20:15:37 agenda is here https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/WOS_Agenda_Tracker 20:15:40 Ouch! 20:15:50 I was here 20:15:50 oh really? 20:15:54 Should I just start over? 20:15:54 diablo_rojo_: I was wondering cause I was talking with you and then you where like no one's here but me! 20:15:55 haha shall we take it from the top? 20:15:56 Lol 20:16:02 Ha ha ha ha ha 20:16:14 Okay, so it the meetbot recording currently? 20:16:21 At least it was a sw client, not a human ;-) 20:16:34 diablo_rojo_: I didn't see any close out messages 20:16:43 I stopped at the Mentoring topic 20:16:55 Cuase I wanted to see if more people would show up lol. 20:17:06 spotz and i don’t mind i’m sure, let’s start from the beginning! 20:17:08 o/ 20:17:14 Okay. 20:17:17 diablo_rojo_: And take 2! 20:17:19 o/ 20:17:35 So todays Agenda 20:17:38 # link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/WOS_Agenda_Tracker 20:17:45 #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/WOS_Agenda_Tracker 20:17:59 #topic Administrativa 20:18:10 User Committee Nominations are open! 20:18:16 Nominate yourself by sending an email to user-committee@lists.openstack.org with the subject "UC Candidacy" 20:18:40 Please make sure you have AUC, last round we had to tell someone they weren't:( 20:18:40 Also PTL nominations are still open! 20:19:09 spotz, running into similar with PTLs not having foundation member profiles 20:19:17 Or them being expired 20:19:18 Yeah, I think the requirements for AUC need to be broadcast 20:19:23 At least right now. 20:19:30 As mentioned first time around 2 women running for PTG so far 20:19:33 So folks can make sure they can vote, too 20:19:41 rockyg, +1 20:20:06 From their meeting earlier looks like they're also going to discuss where SIG's stand 20:20:10 the superuser article that just went up has a link to the AUC reqs, and we can keep putting it in any emails that go out abou nominations 20:20:39 I think involvement in SIGs is going to count towards AUC 20:20:39 Should be a way to check if you are listed as AUC. There should be an app for that.... 20:20:42 In Sydney we talked in one session about a badge on profiles 20:20:45 but I dont think its for sure yet 20:20:58 spotz, that would be super helpful 20:21:03 ++ 20:21:09 AUC, ATC, COA, OUI, etc 20:21:12 I think Jimmy was going to look into it 20:21:42 As far as nominations go, it would be great to see more female leadership. 20:21:52 and first timers too 20:21:57 Two women on the TC is awesome.

At Open Source Summit we had allies but I'm not sure what the topic was in Syd 20:31:46 oikiki, it might be interesting for you to put a panel together as a new contributor, ask questions from your perspective to those that have more experience. 20:31:53 What the exact topic would be is up to you. 20:32:00 Just a thought, no pressure :) 20:32:26 ill consider it diablo_rojo! 20:32:52 spotz, I don't remember either. 20:33:01 Yeah one of my favorites was PTLs aren't scary:) 20:33:14 I think that one was in Barcelona 20:33:31 Could do one on women in governance. 20:33:40 are panels submitted via the presentation submission form or elsewhere? 20:33:57 oikiki, all submitted in the same form 20:34:02 grat 20:34:08 great* 20:34:10 oikiki: Same form and you don't have to have anyone but you there just to submit you can add later 20:34:11 :) 20:34:29 Okay, I think I am going to move on. 20:34:39 Reminder the deadline is the 8th. 20:34:48 #topic PTG 20:34:58 So, any news spotz ? 20:35:26 I'm a no:( 20:35:48 There are going to be several events in the evening that week aside from the WoO Happy hour, those details should be out soon. 20:36:07 If you are going to be at the PTG and around Wednesday evening, please add your name to the list! 20:36:12 #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/DUB_WOO_HH 20:36:14 #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/DUB_WOO_HH WOO HH 20:36:19 heheh 20:36:21 spotz :) 20:36:33 I am also planning a game night 20:36:51 And there will be the standard Event Happy Hour the beginning of the week too. 20:36:55 cool!

WoO is kind of special where its not focused on delivering a certain project, but isn't a SIG or a WG either. 20:42:43 Angeh: The Happy Hour is the closest there will be 20:42:51 Exactly spotz :) 20:43:21 Ohhh. I get it 20:43:22 In Vancouver we'll have a lunch, and 1-2 informal things 20:44:05 The Project Team Gathering is more focused on technical discussions and implementation of features and roadmapping, release planning, etc 20:45:23 Am I good to move on now? 20:45:28 Any other questions? :) 20:46:25 Okay, I'm gonna move on. 20:46:30 #topic Mentoring 20:46:45 So, sounds like people are solid about switching styles. 20:46:51 awesome! 20:47:20 is there a mentoring program? 20:47:20 Since the group helping with Mentoring has shrunk to me and ekhugen- when she has a tiny bit of time I think I am going to bring those discussions back here. 20:47:26 oikiki, there is :) 20:47:40 Its currently going to get changed around format wise 20:47:41 my perpetual question: is there a link? :D 20:47:59 oikiki, yes, but its going to change a ton from what is there. 20:48:03 ah ok 20:48:14 this is for openstack generally or for the conference? 20:48:15 So, stick around for this convo and share input :) \ 20:48:19 Generally 20:48:24 ah ok nice 20:48:54 So, in this new format we will have 1-3 mentors to 1-8 mentees focused on completeing some specific goal depending on what sort of mentoring they are interested in. 20:49:03 Community, Technical, or Career. 20:49:16 We need to brainstorm goals and come up with a set. 20:49:32 Technical is fairly straight forward- push a patch and get it merged. 20:50:18 Could have a goal to write and submit an abstract for a CFP. 20:50:35 Maybe could expand that one to actually giving a talk. 20:50:45 I have like no ideas after that though. 20:50:59 oikiki, Angeh as newer community members, what are some goals you have? 20:51:36 I really like the work that I'm doing on OpenStack Magnum for my internship and would like to figure out how to do this as a job. 20:51:49 Because it's awesome!! 20:52:59 oikiki, so maybe a goal to like..tailor your resume/network towards getting a job working on openstack? 20:53:09 yes 20:54:48 Okay. I have gone through the mentoring program 20:55:00 And it is grr.
