apriceYes12:33
apriceo/12:33
apriceIn transit but can follow12:33
apriceAlong12:33
spotzDo you want me to move user survey back?12:34
apriceI can discuss when we get there12:35
apriceAre we there now?12:35
spotzI had it first:)12:35
apricePulling up agenda12:35
apriceAh perfect12:35
apriceSure let's start there12:35
spotz#topic User Survey12:35
*** openstack changes topic to "User Survey (Meeting topic: UC)"12:35
apriceSo we did a preliminary review of the data and I can share our thoughts in an email12:35
apricejamesmcarthur sent the PTL and TC responses to the mailing list last week12:36
apriceInstead of doing a longform report, we are actually planning to do a series of superuser articles looking at different insights12:36
apriceA nice early metric that we are still confirming is that we had 30% first time survey takers12:37
apriceSo we are excited to look at those deployments more closely12:37
spotzNice12:37
apricejamesmcarthur is at ansiblefest this week and I'm at the openstack day in berlin12:38
apriceSo we are going to reconnect next week and can provide a larger update12:38
spotzOk thanks. Anyone have any questions for Allison before we move on?12:39
jayahnno12:40
apriceFeel free to email me if any come up12:40
spotz#topic Laisons12:40
*** openstack changes topic to "Laisons (Meeting topic: UC)"12:40
spotzSo at one point studarus sent out an email with a break down of different areas that we could support. I can't remember if it was in the middle of the special election or after So I said at some point:)12:41
studaruslet me dig it up...12:41
spotzIt was thought a division of resources was a good idea and we were mainly arguing abouot what to call them to be honest. I'm going with Laison as we use that with the upstream team12:42
spotzthanks studarus12:42
studarusCommunity Chair - user groups, ambassadors and regional events12:42
studarus  SIG/Focus Group Chair - tracks the SIGs and forums session12:42
studarus  Survey Chair?12:42
spotzthought there were a few more let me look12:42
spotzOh yeah I guess when you get rid of chair and co-chair that looks right:)12:43
spotzbelmoreira: I believe you wanted too be the SiG chair continuing all the update work?12:44
belmoreirai can take that12:44
jayahnlet me catch up what was discussed before I join here.12:44
studarusand if people want to focus on something else, I think that would be fine12:45
jayahnis it about each takes a specific area? rather than doing together?12:45
spotzjayahn: There wasn't a whole lot, it was really a point of contact thing. I wa going to ask if based on your open discussion items you might want to be a laison for the other projects?:)12:45
studarusjayahn - the idea is to have an area of focus where you can bring ideas to the committee12:45
jayahnokay12:46
spotzIt really goes down to groups know who to reach out to and hopefully pairing UC members with areas of interest12:47
studarusI'm good with doing some work around the user groups. I'd like to better define what qualifies a user group as an official group.12:47
jayahni need to study a bit more on the entire uc activity (coverage) before saying an area of focus. ;) however, I can do a quick start on what I can do now, then extend on the way12:47
spotzstudarus: Kinda figured that:)12:48
melsakhawyWould outreach be part of community ?12:48
spotzjayahn: Sounds good, if there's an area or areas you have more interest in let us know12:48
spotzmelsakhawy: Outreach as in Outreachy or Outreach as in bringing in new users?12:49
melsakhawyI was thinking more of reaching out to bigger deployments/ new adopters and getting their input12:49
jayahnspotz: thanks12:49
spotzmelsakhawy: I think that falls under the User Survey and OSF outreach which we are involved in when needed12:50
apricemelsakhawy: that's something we could do with the user survey12:50
apriceHa what spotz said12:50
spotzhehe12:50
spotzThe information from the User Survey is confidential and aprice will get NDAs to anyoone who needs them to look at the data, participate in those types of meetings, etc12:51
melsakhawyyeah that's reasonable, I think I can assist with the survey liasion12:51
spotzOk sounds good12:52
apriceCool - you can work with me on that melsakhawy12:52
spotzThat went quicker then I thought:)12:52
melsakhawy+112:52
jayahnI can start with being liaison between airship and uc, for now. I have been really interested in finding the way to minimize "barriers and pain" from Asia region (non-english speaking and different time zone).12:52
jayahnbut, i am not sure that can be the some scope of uc12:53
spotzjayahn: Thoose are some things we've tried sorting out with the diversity WG. A lot of grooups do split meetings which have varying success12:54
spotzAnd I think the new loooser Office Hours soome gruops are using are also an attempt too fix that12:55
spotz#topic UC Size/Election12:56
*** openstack changes topic to "UC Size/Election (Meeting topic: UC)"12:56
spotzTo keep us mooving as we have 35 minutes left12:56
jayahnyeap12:56
spotzBefore our elections we had some discussions about the continuing role of the UC, possibly melding into the TC with a few seats there, or leaving things alone. We kinda fell into the last as VW_ was on vacation and we honestly didn't have as many official meetings over the summer with a quorum12:58
studaruswhat has the TC said?12:59
spotzTC is currently reducing their numbers I think by 3 over time, with only 5 to begin with we of course can't do that. But with the lack of nominations and the need for the special election do we want to consider reducing to 3 seats, combining with the TC or again leave things alone12:59
spotzstudarus: We never talked to them I remember aprice mentioning that concept I believe12:59
melsakhawyFor the TC idea, i think we will need to maintain separate meetings/communication regardless since the mandate is different13:00
studarusthe benefit being it would be easier to get elections done?13:00
melsakhawyI like the idea of sizing down13:01
melsakhawyor relaxing the AUC status , spotz said it's now easier than before :) so you may not like that13:01
belmoreirainitially I was opposing to the idea to merge the UC with the TC13:01
spotzI believe the intent was more focus related, I do agree we have different charters and that while it seems developer numbers are dropping (not sure they are), deployments doo seem to be going up13:01
belmoreiracurrently I'm much in favor of that13:02
belmoreira sizing down to 3 seats... looks a very small team13:02
spotzbelmoreira: UC was originally 3 people before they started having elected members13:02
studaruswould we get a diverse enough set of members with 3?13:02
jayahnI need some time to think about the topic, did not have chance to look at this issue.13:03
spotzI have my doubts just from the historical passing of knowledge bit. But to have an odd number we can oonly go down to 3 over time13:04
spotzAnd keep in mind we don't need to change either. belmoreira I'm curioous can youo talk more on why you've changed yur mind?13:04
jayahnso is it about difficulties to get people to join UC? or is it about UC roles being smaller?13:04
spotzjayahn: Originally the second, now more the first. But I think if we come up with some good goals we might need 5 people:)13:05
apriceJayahn: I think a lot of it is around how there is less of a feedback gap between upstream and users especially as more users contribute upstream13:06
apriceSo like the other OSF projects, having one governance body may make things more efficient13:06
belmoreiraspotz considering the lack of nominations (TC and UC) made me realize that would be better for the community of we consolidate the different committees13:06
belmoreirawe should discuss this and pick up the UC goals again13:08
apriceYeah I think that's an indicator as well, but also looking at similarities of goals will help13:08
spotzbelmoreira: Makes sense13:08
spotzI also sometimes think for UC folks don't know about their status or even aboout the elections. We had that one person buonce their nomination.13:09
studaruswe do need more communicate better to the public about becoming an AUC13:10
spotzOk so I'm going to put goals as our main agenda item for next week which can help us to decide what we want to work on going forward at least foor this release13:10
studarusI tried to pull in several people only to find out they weren't AUC...13:10
jayahnaprice: you mentioned other osf project. I don't think they really realized they should have a communication channel to represent more diverse body, rather than core groups contributing codes to the project.13:10
studarusand they had been involved but just not in qualifying AUC ways13:10
apricemaybe have a joint meeting with the TC and see what they think?13:10
spotzYeah I was thinking of touching base with JP, get his thoughts as well oon this. We can't make the decisioon just from oour end anyways13:11
apricejayahn: both zuul and kata are doing well with the technical governance also working directly with users13:11
jayahnsorry, i should mention that it is my personal experience from airship involvement. :)13:12
spotzaprice: How are their user base though? I know when we met with the projects at the last Denver PTG (stand alone) they didn't feel they really had a user base large enough to need division13:12
jayahnhad no intention to include kata, zuul, or starlingx13:12
jayahnwell, because of us (skt), there are some interests in Korea, lots of potential.13:13
apriceTheir user bases are starting to grow. I think that in that meeting there was just confusion but all of the projects are starting to discuss user surveys to leave13:14
apriceO13:14
apriceLearn more* not leave13:14
apricejayahn: ah that makes sense13:14
apriceThey're all definitely early but I think that addressing the feedback loop early will be key for all of them13:15
jayahnhowever, if tc and wc in airship, represent big companies involved in the development. i feel like they need a way to get feedback from potential users.13:15
jayahnespecially from other part of world :)13:16
apriceAgree13:16
jayahnthat is actually my agenda today :)13:16
apriceI think that there are a lot of openstack learnings to lean on13:16
spotzaprice: Are you doing separate project surveys or including them in the OpenStack one?13:17
jayahni personally think osf has done really great job on user involvement, personally better than LF13:17
apricespotz: separate13:17
melsakhawyOn the topic of UC goals,  I will go through the charter before next meeting to create a summary of the "documented" goals. It could serve as a start point for us to change/add goals13:18
jayahni want airship can learn from that. ;) get support from UC leveraging what is already here13:18
jayahnsorry, i am a bit slow to write in English.. (especially in this real time conversation setting)13:19
spotzSounds good, the agenda item is already there melsakhawy. jayahn just keep in mind whil we can advise them, they have a different charter, governance, etc13:19
spotzjayahn: I try to pause to give time:)13:19
spotzAnd not just for you but for people who like to type large responses:)13:20
jayahnspotz: i know. they know. so we want to have some idea exchange on what would be the best13:20
spotzWe can definitely mentor them, Even in the last 1+ years it could be some new people since our last offer13:21
jayahnspotz: if you can think of some area of focus I can contribute on, please let me know. that will help me to navigate roles of UC I can contribute.13:21
spotzWe're at <10 minutes I'm going to move us to the next topic as I think we need to figure out our goals before we can move on with this issue or contact the TC13:22
spotz#topic Open Discussion13:22
*** openstack changes topic to "Open Discussion (Meeting topic: UC)"13:22
jayahnit's me?13:23
spotzjayahn: We can definitely find you an area of interest, and it could be as simple as ideas for reaching users in Asia as we're defiintely growing the user base there13:23
spotzjayahn: Yep have anything else I know you started it a little13:23
jayahnyeap, i already started.13:24
jayahnI have involved openstack-helm and airship from early stage..13:24
spotzOh onw quick think while jayahn types, I've reached out to fungi to get the members updated for the governance-uc13:24
jayahnrecently, i talked with airship folks about extending toward more diverse body.13:25
jayahnthat makes me think there might be some collaboration point between UC and Airship.13:25
melsakhawyspotz / aprice, we need to get this updated as well https://www.openstack.org/foundation/user-committee/13:26
spotzWe can definitely reach back out to Airship and StarlingX to see if they have questions and see if we can help. It soulds like Kata and Zuul are happy with their process13:26
jayahnI will hear what Airship think this Wed, but I also want to hear what UC think on this13:26
spotzmelsakhawy: Jimmy said he was going to do that one last week:(13:27
melsakhawyah right , I will reach out to him directly then :)13:27
*** studarus has quit IRC13:27
*** studarus_ has joined #openstack-uc13:27
jayahnthat is all for now. i don't think this is one time topic, I just want to put that on agenda so that everyone can think something out13:28
spotzjayahn: Well all we can do is offer to mentor, our charter and focus is different. If we did want to include other projects with seats in the UC we would need to look into that as it becomes a numbers game again with keeping things at odd numbers. But they are always welcome to come join our meetings and ask questions during Open Discussion13:28
jayahnspotz: got it. thanks13:29
spotzmelsakhawy and jayahn - make sure your foundation Bios are good as that what will go there:)13:29
jayahnah.. okay13:29
