So great to be back! 20:08:16 <diablo_rojo> #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/WOS_Agenda_Tracker Agenda! 20:08:17 <NicoleH> How are you? 20:08:27 <diablo_rojo> NicoleH, wonderful yourself? 20:08:35 <NicoleH> Doing well, thanks! 20:08:49 <diablo_rojo> alright, well I think we should get this party started 20:08:55 <NicoleH> Woo hoo! 20:09:06 <diablo_rojo> #topic Get Rid of WoO Mentoring Meeting 20:09:25 <diablo_rojo> I think since there hasnt been a regular meeting in months and Emily is no longer around.. 20:09:51 <diablo_rojo> In conjunction with the proposal to have the diversity wg/ fc sig take over.. we should remove the meeting from the list 20:09:57 <diablo_rojo> Thoughts? 20:10:02 <spotz> Makes sense 20:10:30 <NicoleH> +1 20:10:32 <diablo_rojo> I can send the proposal out to the WoO ML if anyone feels we need to, but I feel like its probably not going to be missed. 20:10:51 <NicoleH> So, the topic will be covered in the D&I WG, yes? 20:11:15 <spotz> Nah, I say we get the mail out looking for a new leader and if it should fall back under WoO we'll put out another meeting listing 20:11:25 <diablo_rojo> NicoleH, ideally, we (spotz and I ) were going to push that forward but I havent had time to help that happen 20:11:40 <NicoleH> Ah-ha, got it. 20:12:08 <spotz> NicoleH: Mainly we're looking for someone with the time to lead and maybe have it joint under the WG and SiG or somewhere in good hands anyways 20:12:25 <diablo_rojo> Yeah, have a leader from both or something 20:12:36 <NicoleH> I see. 20:12:39 <diablo_rojo> Like two leaders. 20:12:45 <diablo_rojo> That arent me and spotz lol 20:13:03 <NicoleH> Would the leaders cover both long-term mentoring *and* speed mentoring? Thoughts? 20:13:34 <spotz> I'd really like to see someone new step up, most of the Diversity WG are involved in a million things too 20:13:52 <spotz> NicoleH: Specifically we're looking for the long-term program 20:14:09 <spotz> Speed mentoring is a bit easier as it's at summit 20:14:24 <spotz> so twice a year duties with some work before hand 20:15:44 <diablo_rojo> Yeah I can keep helping handle speed mentoring, but it would be great to get some new blood to help with the new long term mentoring cohort stuff 20:16:32 <diablo_rojo> I can help with the inital set up, but it would be with the intention of being hands off after things get rolling. 20:18:03 <diablo_rojo> I guess there's not much else with this topic so we can move on 20:18:16 <diablo_rojo> #topic Speed Mentoring! 20:18:33 <spotz> Do we know if we have a sponsor? 20:18:35 <diablo_rojo> Doing things a little out of order from the agenda, but this kinda goes with the flo 20:18:43 <diablo_rojo> spotz, not that I know of yet, but I can ask. 20:18:54 * diablo_rojo goes to ask erindisney 20:19:20 <spotz> I think we held it in Sydney without one, so it's not a show stopper 20:19:28 * diablo_rojo also goes to check the schedule 20:19:45 <NicoleH> Sorry, am working remotely today & lost my connection. Ugh! 20:19:55 <diablo_rojo> NicoleH, no worries 20:20:00 <diablo_rojo> We moved onto Speed Mentoring 20:20:04 <diablo_rojo> Wondering about sponsors 20:20:38 <NicoleH> Got it! 20:20:59 <diablo_rojo> Neither the Working Lunch nor the Speed Mentoring are on the schedule right now 20:21:23 <diablo_rojo> yup! Red Hat is sponsoring the WOO networking lunch and Intel is sponsoring the speed mentoring 20:21:36 <diablo_rojo> ^^from Kendall Waters 20:21:40 <spotz> From when I emailed the other Kendall about getting the Lunch and Learn on they haven't started doing those extra things yet 20:21:46 <NicoleH> Was going to check with our event team to see if we’re sponsoring. Regardless, I’d be very interested in helping. 20:21:56 <diablo_rojo> She said we also already have sponsors for Berlin too :) 20:22:00 <diablo_rojo> Which is super awesome. 20:22:00 <spotz> Thanks Red Hat and Intel! 20:22:12 <diablo_rojo> spotz, ah got it. 20:22:21 <diablo_rojo> NicoleH, will you be in Vancouver? 20:22:52 <NicoleH> Not sure yet but am hoping to be 20:22:57 <spotz> So going by historical.. figure Monday for speed and tuesday for working lunch. Hoping Wednesday for lunch and learn so not to miss community awards 20:23:25 <diablo_rojo> spotz, yes that would be ideal :) I can push for that. 20:23:37 <diablo_rojo> I know I have a meeting to talk about some of that tomorrow 20:24:03 <spotz> I've offered to do breakfast as well if need be for the git stuff 20:24:20 <spotz> Being on UC I don't want to miss community awards 20:24:22 <diablo_rojo> Oh cool 20:25:07 <diablo_rojo> I guess we should go ahead with organizing the Speed Mentoring then. 20:25:24 <NicoleH> Sounds great! 20:25:25 <diablo_rojo> So, who wants to do it? :) 20:25:38 <diablo_rojo> oikiki, will you be able to attend the Summit in Vancouver? 20:25:40 <NicoleH> I’m in! 20:25:45 <diablo_rojo> Yay! 20:26:03 <oikiki> diablo_rojo : i hope so but ill have to see if i get the travel grant 20:26:27 <diablo_rojo> NicoleH, I'm totally willing to go and be a mentor or help run things, I just don't have time to do the planning legwork. 20:26:57 <NicoleH> I’m happy to! 20:27:04 <spotz> I can co-help if need be 20:27:12 <NicoleH> Perfect! 20:27:28 <diablo_rojo> oikiki, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :) 20:27:37 <oikiki> thanks diablo_rojo! 20:27:47 <NicoleH> I’d really appreciate the help! 20:28:27 <diablo_rojo> NicoleH, I can try to compile the resources from the last few rounds if you need- I thiiiink you have basically all of it though 20:29:45 <spotz> I kinda think we should go back to RSVP, I think it held more value 20:29:55 <NicoleH> That’d be great, diablo_rojo ... I agree ... i’ve been through it a few Times so I think I have most of everything ... 20:30:07 <diablo_rojo> spotz, +1 20:30:48 <diablo_rojo> Keeping it simple- only mentees register and they specify what sort of mentoring they want (tecnical, career, or community) 20:30:50 <spotz> There's always going to be folks who no show but I think it helps 20:31:01 <spotz> Yeah 20:31:06 <diablo_rojo> That way we can kind of pick and choose our mentors making pushes if we need more of a certain type 20:31:16 <NicoleH> Yep! 20:31:18 <diablo_rojo> spotz, I agree. 20:31:24 <diablo_rojo> Sweet. 20:31:28 <NicoleH> +1 20:31:52 <spotz> Ok sounds like we've got that organized enough to start:) 20:32:02 <diablo_rojo> After it gets on the schedule we can put a request for mentors on the Woo list and kind of see how it matches with registration before reaching out to others. 20:32:16 <diablo_rojo> NicoleH, let spotz and I know if you need anything. 20:32:29 <NicoleH> I’ll put a planning timeline together for our next call 20:32:58 <NicoleH> Sounds good! 20:32:58 <diablo_rojo> NicoleH, yeah a planning etherpad/google doc with a timeline would be cool. 20:33:09 <diablo_rojo> Thank you so so so much for taking this NicoleH 20:33:10 <NicoleH> Awesome! 20:33:17 <diablo_rojo> I can't tell you how much I appreciate it :) 20:33:42 <NicoleH> Happy to help! 20:33:51 <diablo_rojo> Alright, anything else on this topic then? 20:34:17 <NicoleH> Not from my end at this point 20:34:22 <diablo_rojo> Sweet. 20:34:25 <diablo_rojo> Moving on then. 20:34:34 <diablo_rojo> #topic Forum Proposals & Summit Talks 20:34:53 <diablo_rojo> So it looks like the schedule is live with the CFP items 20:35:14 <diablo_rojo> AS previously noted the WoO events aren't live yet, but should be soon. 20:35:43 <spotz> I'm planning on putting in for at least one for the Diversity WG, I think WoO should think about doing something as well 20:36:01 <diablo_rojo> For the forum? 20:36:05 <spotz> yeah 20:36:20 <diablo_rojo> What do we have to discuss at the forum? 20:36:34 <spotz> Recruiting?:) 20:36:36 <diablo_rojo> I was thinking about a mentoring session- but that would be more fc sig/ diversity wg 20:36:56 <diablo_rojo> spotz, we should do that at the other things- working lunch especially 20:37:13 <spotz> And if we do a happy hour/ghost tour 20:37:25 <diablo_rojo> That too. 20:37:49 <NicoleH> I submitted a session focused on mentoring that was accepted for the summit. 20:38:05 <diablo_rojo> NicoleH, yes thats awesome :) 20:38:24 <diablo_rojo> It was in my track which was awkward cause I had to be impartial. 20:39:01 <diablo_rojo> Both of the panels I am involved with were in my track lol. I just didn't vote on them. 20:39:04 <NicoleH> lol! 20:39:26 <NicoleH> What about a WoO talk focused on updates around the group? 20:39:52 <diablo_rojo> That could work. 20:39:55 <NicoleH> What WoO has done & where we’re headed? 20:40:01 <spotz> Yeah 20:40:58 * diablo_rojo is asking when forum submissions actually start 20:41:10 <diablo_rojo> I think we are still in the brainstorming phase right now 20:41:57 <spotz> We can drop an email to the list with an etherpad link 20:42:14 <diablo_rojo> Yeah I would make it a master etherpad of all summit-y things 20:42:33 <diablo_rojo> Talks women have had accepted, forum ideas and the coordination for evening activities 20:42:37 <diablo_rojo> A one stop shop 20:42:46 <diablo_rojo> rather than doing like 6 different ones. 20:42:46 <spotz> Yeah we can split it up into forum topics, happy hour/ghost tour.... 20:42:50 <diablo_rojo> Yeah 20:42:57 <diablo_rojo> different sections, but the same etherpad 20:43:31 <oikiki> what is a ghost tour? 20:43:43 <NicoleH> Sounds like a great idea 20:43:58 <diablo_rojo> oikiki, its kind of a tradition- the woo group does ghost tours in like..every city 20:43:58 <spotz> Fun historical tour of a city with a spooky aspect to it:) 20:44:05 <diablo_rojo> I went to the Boston one and it was pretty cool. 20:44:07 <oikiki> ooh that sounds run! 20:44:10 <oikiki> fun! 20:44:19 <diablo_rojo> Havent had time for the others 20:44:25 <diablo_rojo> spotz, you've been to all of them? 20:44:26 <spotz> I got my favorite word from Sydney on the last one:) 20:44:43 <spotz> Boston and Sydney, we started in Boston:) 20:44:54 * spotz likes ghost tours:) 20:45:08 <spotz> So would have done one in Dublin if there 20:45:51 <diablo_rojo> spotz, no I don't think you would have...snow would have stopped you 20:46:16 <spotz> diablo_rojo: But I wanted to play in the snow with everyone!!!!! 20:46:20 <diablo_rojo> Anything else on the forum topic? 20:46:34 <spotz> I'll make the ether and get that out in a few 20:46:35 <diablo_rojo> spotz, you got the ML action item? 20:46:40 <diablo_rojo> sounds good 20:46:58 <NicoleH> Sounds good 20:47:01 <diablo_rojo> #action spotz will make a master planning etherpad for the Vancouver summit and send it to the woo list 20:47:15 <diablo_rojo> #topic Open Discussion 20:47:35 <diablo_rojo> NicoleH, when do you expect to find out about Vancouver travel? 20:48:03 <diablo_rojo> annabelleB, we should probably get another podcast rolling 20:48:05 <NicoleH> Within the next few weeks, I think 20:48:12 <annabelleB> yeah! 20:48:24 <diablo_rojo> NicoleH, cool.
