noonedeadpunkTo be frank I'm quite confused about selected forums for Vancouver. Specifically about the fact that kolla did get user forum while OSA was not approved. I really do wonder how this choice has been made16:45
noonedeadpunkI feel some kind of discrimination here...16:47
gmannnoonedeadpunk: is selection if final? I got TC+PTL interaction forum sessions approval twice but still waiting for RBAC feedback forum sessions which is important I think17:23
gmannI think it is still in progress? aprice do you know about the forum selection end date ^^ ? I think you mentioned it in yesterday board meeting.17:24
noonedeadpunkWell, I got email that it's rejected, so...17:24
fungithe concern raised has been brought to the attention of the foundation staff organizing the forum sessions as well, so hopefully we'll have more info on the rationale soon17:25
fungithough i'm sure part of it is just the limited amount of forum space/time we have for the venue17:25
fungiand hard choices were made17:26
gmannnoonedeadpunk: ohk17:26
noonedeadpunkfungi: well, hard choice would be to reject both in favor of smth else...17:27
fungiit's possible rejecting all forum sessions for deployment projects would have resulted in fairer results17:27
dansmithscore another point for virtual meetups :)17:27
gmannnoonedeadpunk: its looks strange to me too17:27
fungior simply candelling the forum sessions altogether in order to avoid making it look like the projects who got forum sessions were given special privilege in some way17:27
fungis/candelling/cancelling/17:28
* dansmith was googling candelling17:28
fungior i suppose we could allot a percentage of the forum sessions to openstack and then let the tc decide which projects get them17:28
gmannif I remember it used to be two representative from TC to select the forum sessions but it is not now17:29
gmannor we can have some filtered category like all operator facing sessions only to be proposed or selected  17:30
noonedeadpunkIt would be completely understandable that deployment projects jsut don't have space - I can agree there're more important things where time can be invested17:31
fungiapparently spotz was on the forum selection committee, so may also have some insight into the choices that were made17:32
fungiso it's not as if there were no tc members on the selection committee at least, but i would encourage more tc members to volunteer next time17:38
gmannfungi: I think it is ask in ML and first come first serve basis right ?17:39
Guest83That is correct gmann 17:40
Guest83Ugh. 17:40
Guest83Gotta fix nick.17:40
Guest83One sec. 17:40
gmannso TZ play important role in that who reply first17:41
*** Guest83 is now known as diablo_rojo17:41
diablo_rojoBetter. 17:41
diablo_rojoMy volunteers were Amy, then Tony Breeds then Sylvain Bauzas17:42
diablo_rojoIn that order. And Tony was maybe 5 min after Amy. 17:42
diablo_rojoI'd have to double check but I don't think Sylvain was long after the two of them. 17:43
gmannyeah so it is also who is online that time and does not give other to chance to nominate themselves, may be we need to improve it but anyways concern is user forum are selected for few project and rejected for other even same sessions ^^17:45
fungiare you arguing for a larger selection committee, or for a larger share of the selection committee members to be openstack representatives, or...?17:46
funginote that the vast majority of the accepted forum sessions are openstack-specific, so openstack as a whole isn't under-represented in the schedule17:46
noonedeadpunkall forum sessions are openstack to what I see here https://vancouver2023.openinfra.dev/a/schedule?_ga=2.163912319.1170072892.1683132162-2024783656.164681410017:47
gmannI am not arguing anything I was just replying on the selection things which came up here17:47
gmannit is concern on user forum selected for 1 project and not for other.17:48
fungiin this context, "arguing" is a synonym for "recommending"17:48
fungii was asking what changes you were trying to suggest17:48
diablo_rojonoonedeadpunk: there are a few that are open infra s opposed to OpenStack. 17:48
noonedeadpunkdiablo_rojo: Yes, I think it's still Kolla vs OSA forum sessions. One was approved, another rejected17:48
gmannfungi: my recommendation is either 1. I think you suggestion, to allocation space per openinfra project and ask their governance to select OR 2. to open nomination for period of time, let's everyone interested one nominate themselves and then select few as per defined criteria.17:50
diablo_rojogmann: while true, I have not always sent out the call each forum at the same time, so there is timezone variation. 17:50
dansmith3. virtual meetups17:51
dansmith(okay I'll stop sorry)17:52
* bauzas ducks17:59
bauzasI had some concerns with the Berlin Forum due to some sessions that were actually some kind of Summit presentations...18:01
bauzasbut I'll look at the agenda :-)18:02
aprice[m]coming in a bit late, but happy to help get this to a place where folks are comfortable with the programming. 18:06
aprice[m]i think it would be valuable to get insight from the folks who picked the sessions on why one was / wasn't chosen. but we still do have options in terms of making sure OSA is represented. This could include operator hours at the PTG or maybe seeing if the kolla folks would like to combine to have a broader deployment based conversation. 18:07
aprice[m]We had 23 forum sessions get rejected for a variety of reasons, so I don' think that OSA (or any other project) were necessarily targeted. it just comes down to a decision a group of volunteers needs to be made. 18:08
aprice[m]When it comes to the volunteers, even if a quota is hit, those folks should still represent the interest of the broader community. So I would encourage the TC to communicate with their representative to ensure that the right content is selected. 18:09
noonedeadpunkI would say not targeted, but internally preffered one over another not based on the content but based on the attitude to the project18:10
noonedeadpunkWhich is the problem I actually have18:10
aprice[m]well and that's why we ask the governance bodies to help select, because ideally those folks would make the decisions more fairly18:10
aprice[m]noonedeadpunk: then as a next step, what I would like to propose is that I can reach out to Amy and Tony to get more insight into the decision. But we can also use the reservable PTG room on Thursday (which will have the same setup as the Forum) for the OSA talk. We can't do this for every rejected talk, but I do want it to atleast be fair.  18:13
noonedeadpunkYeah, would be really interesting to hear background, as maybe I'm unfair and too opionated as well :)18:14
aprice[m]to be transparent, that room will be reservable for anyone, so even if you would like to take time to decide, that could still be an option. any PTG team can reserve either of those rooms for Thursday for that use case 18:14
aprice[m]well let's focus on a solution then :) 18:14
noonedeadpunkaprice[m]: but that won't make to the schedule, so in would need to be somehow internally announced, right?18:15
aprice[m]noonedeadpunk - we can make it to the schedule 18:15
noonedeadpunkI think it will work for us then18:16
aprice[m]we are still working on how the PTG will be represented since the PTG bot is a bit more dynamic, but for things like operator hours or specific discussions where teams WANT broader participation, we are more than happy to put it on the schedule 18:16
aprice[m]the other PTG meetings benefit from not being on the schedule, imo to avoid folks getting confused 18:16
aprice[m]but open to feedback there :) 18:17
aprice[m]as a next step, I will be working with diablo_rojo on getting that signup distributed for folks to reserve space. It will likely be next week so we can finalize how many slots we have. I'll make sure to ping you noonedeadpunk when it's live 18:19
noonedeadpunk++ awesome, thanks aprice[m]!18:19
aprice[m]np! sorry that i was slow to jump in as I had a few other meetings, but glad we got to a good spot. Thank you for sharing the feedback! 18:19
gmannaprice[m]: agree if we can go back to governance representative in selection and it can be handled at project level18:20
aprice[m]+10018:20
