We can introduce the ambassadors 20:20:11 Point our women to them for questions/help. Lots of local places our women are but our ambassadors are not. 20:20:33 The whole grassroots thing 20:21:12 I've added it to the list, we can also ping Lisa-Maria and Shilla who are both Ambassadors 20:21:49 Excellent! I can see partnering with local women's coding groups and having joint meetups... 20:22:15 oooh... I like we're you're going. 20:22:30 Lisa-Marie is great at reaching across communities and would def help on this 20:22:39 #action spotz email Shilla and Lisa-Marie with Rocky about this idea 20:23:32 Cause I'd definitely like to see us do something, get ourselves out there a little NOT during a lunch:) 20:24:03 ++ 20:24:04 Anyone else have any ideas/thoughts/comments? 20:24:17 I'm not sure if I should ask during this section or another topic section. But I was hoping to reach out to you guys for help during my mentorship workship 20:24:32 https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2018/summit-schedule/events/20875/rinse-lather-and-repeat-a-practical-guide-to-being-a-mentee 20:24:35 Maybe a session on community outreach like Girl Scouts and/or robotics teams 20:25:01 ellopunk_: Let's do that during open discussion 20:25:07 Thank you spotz! 20:25:42 ellopunk_, I think maybe a signup line under your etherpad entry for assistants? 20:25:52 rockyg: Chances are we'll only get one slot, but I could see that part of whe we've already discussed. So like a how to reach out to the community and other groups to hold a meetup? 20:26:14 Yeah. 20:26:55 Ok let's move on as we're about halfway through and we aftually have agenda items today:) 20:27:02 #topic Speed Mentoring 20:27:48 So Monday during lunch is speed mentoring. I believe sponsored by Intel (thank you Intel). Nicole and I will be the emcees keeping things moving 20:28:34 diablo_rojo: Has a few things in the agenda. RSVP is up and we'll need to reach out to the community to get mentors and a RSVP for them 20:29:15 Oh shoot it was supposed to be the lunch next but we'll do that next 20:29:56 If anyone would like to be a mentor go ahead and put you name down on the etherpad. We'll have Technical, Career and Community mentors 20:30:41 erindisney kendallwaters_ - if either of you are about is it possible for us to get a check-in table? 20:31:08 hi! sorry i was multi tasking :) 20:31:25 No worries, I just asked and figured a ping would work best:) 20:31:49 check in table seems very doable. i am pulling some strings to potentially get a "WOO Room" for the week actually 20:32:20 erindisney: Ah sweet, so all our things would be in the same room? 20:32:37 can't make any promises yet but looking likely, so can make things like that much more doable. 20:33:04 Excellent, I'll know where I'm supposed to be for lunch everyday except Thursday:) 20:33:16 If needed I'm happy to work the checkin table if it helps get things work smoother during the lunch. 20:33:20 yes. lunch and learns will still go in classroom style rooms tho (git/gerrit) 20:33:41 erindisney: Ok 2 out of 4 days:) 20:33:45 Thanks ellopunk_ 20:33:45 deal :) 20:34:04 ellopunk_: I've added you 20:34:27 Happy to help 20:34:27 also, i don't have details yet but we are likely bringing back the pre-summit social with a broader diversity emphasis versus solely WOO. talking about calling it The #WeAreOpenStack Pre-Summit Social 20:35:01 erindisney: Nice, target for Vancouver or Berlin? 20:35:22 Just for Vancouver at this point, likely will not be every Summit going forward, but have some extra F&B minimums to use and seems like a good reason to use it :) 20:35:29 Cool!!! 20:35:43 And unless someone has anything else for speed mentoring gonna move on to the working lunch as Erin is here 20:36:03 #topic Working Lunch (thank you Red Hat) 20:36:40 I just emailed the group the etherpad to add topic suggestions to: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/WOO_YVR2018_WorkingLunch_TopicBrainstorm 20:36:42 We had a line in our Vancouver etherpad but erindisney sent out an email earlier with a focused etherpad link. I'll keep track of both places as needed 20:37:30 In the past we've done both presentations and round table discussions. So your ideas can follow either or be something totally new 20:38:06 Oh and erindisney - if you need anything from diversity WG in regards to the social just let me know 20:38:07 Sorry about the dueling etherpads, Amy :) 20:38:26 re: diversity WG, that actually JUST came up this morning, and yes please 20:38:31 erindisney: No worries 20:39:04 Just ping me in channel, email, or some folks have my cell:) 20:39:33 Kendall Waters and I met with the Red Hat sponsor this morning and walked her thru the lunch. One of the Foundation folks will plan to introduce their rep to give a brief 3-5 minute opening. they are also planning to do a give away of some kind 20:40:20 based on when previous session ends and giving people time to make their way to the 2nd floor, grab lunch, etc- figured we would start content around 12:50/12:55pm or so 20:40:58 This is actually a nice follow-up for them as they do the WOmen in Open Source award and sponsored that one place in Austin 20:42:31 And that might be an idea with the conference being more open (We need to have a pre-summit email for sure) maybe have a short what are the women of openstack but maybe have a what are x,y and z groups for women and how can we all work together? 20:47:07 I know Linux Foundation was trying to get a Women's group going but assuming I'm on the correct email list it's pretty dead 20:48:22 Well, gee. I wasn't aware. Maybe we can bootstrap it with WOO people to get the conversation started. 20:49:46 rockyg: Wasn't aware of? Just want to make sure we haven't missed anything important:( 20:50:02 Or you mean the Linux Foundations list? 20:51:46 the Linux Foundations list...we could get it moving 20:53:59 rockyg: Yeah I'm not sure I'm even on the right list. I can talk to Nicole about it she was helping with that. 20:54:18 Ok I've put my one idea on Erin's etherpad we have 6 minutes so moving on 20:54:26 cool. but I guess we should get back to the agenda. 20:54:32 What are we on? 20:54:40 #topic Summit planning 20:54:40 5 minutes 20:54:58 We've touched on this a few times, but please check out the planning either 20:55:05 @link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/woo_vancouver_planning 20:55:30 I've added a ghost tour company if we want to keep that tradition going:) 20:55:52 If anyone wants to hel p with Git and Gerrit that's during lunch on Tuesday 20:56:07 ellopunk_: has added needing table help during her session 20:56:53 If we want to revive the friendly faces we could do that maybe Monday morning and then walk over to keynotes as a group? 20:57:53 And last thing just to round things out, a mailing from the foundation to all the women attendeees. Let them know of our events, the groupme we'll start a little closer and maybe some contacts to reach out to if they need anything? 20:58:04 do we have greeters at registration? 20:58:31 bfcohen_, organized that before. 20:58:34 rockyg: We can definitely do that again if we have volunteers and it's ok with the foundation 20:59:00 That sounds like a great idea. Would give some of us who are traveling to the summit on our own a sense of community. 20:59:34 ellopunk_: One of the reasons for the group me, no one should eat/walk alone unless they want to 20:59:53 I think we can make that happen. At least for the first few days. 20:59:54 I'm more then happy to drag folks to other things:) 21:00:23 Ok I've added to the bottom of the ether. Gonna officially end meeting but around to talk if folks want to keep going 21:00:28 #endmeeting
