Or move to Central-Europe :) 08:09:50 anyone else on time ? 08:10:48 anyway the number of attendees this time raised by 100%. nice job. 08:11:01 :) 08:11:18 so let's start with the agenda 08:11:19 okay let the date and time simmer for a bit 08:11:30 we will come back to it 08:11:32 first week of the month perfect 08:11:49 cool 08:11:58 For January, is it Jan 6 and 9 or Jan 2 or 9? 08:12:00 mrmartin and sarob meet last friday 08:12:27 06 jan 08:12:30 looks like 08:12:40 okay agenda 08:12:40 Jan 2 / 6 08:13:20 i believe it would be 06 jan 08:00 gmt 08:13:33 so the Friday/Tuesday will be on the same week of the first week of the month. 08:14:10 mrmartin: no, it would be first week tuesday, like 06 jan 08:14:11 ok, so 06 jan 08.00GMT and 09 jan 18.00GMT 08:14:51 mrmartin: 06 jan 08:00 gmt, then 16 jan 18:00 gmt 08:15:08 cool 08:15:15 #topic review last week meeting notes 08:15:22 #link http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/ambassadors/2014/ambassadors.2014-12-15-23.39.log.html 08:15:41 ok so from my side we have this patch, waiting for approval: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/141652/ 08:15:52 mrmartin: patched the community channel so it is logging to eavesdrop now 08:16:20 mrmartin: is working on oauth2 for groups 08:16:22 and the infra not supported to add meetbot on #openstack-community, and I can agree with that, this is the reason we are using offical meeting channels. 08:16:41 mrmartin: correct 08:17:11 regarding the oauth2, the SSL patch was approved on late Friday, and I'm moving in patches to the dev-groups portal and I can make a release, when everything works well 08:17:13 I am going to start on the starter packs for new groups this week, I will need a contact on the training team and also on the marketing team so I can get the ball rolling 08:17:25 I found a bug yesterday the required a fix, I'm delivering this today. 08:17:32 the / that 08:17:57 kavit: okay, im your man for the training team 08:18:29 kavit: start with lauren sell on the marketing 08:18:47 OK, we need demo/short half day workshop images I think, something to ease people into openstack 08:19:03 kavit: images? 08:20:18 sarob, yes like virtual box or vagrant images that can be downloaded by new user groups to do an Intro to OpenStack workshop/hands on thing 08:20:40 kavit: I definieltly support this, a solution that can work without internet connection. 08:20:59 kavit: ah, okay. there is no place to hold images. 08:21:20 kavit: we do have osbash scripts to build using virtualbox 08:21:28 kavit: as part of the training project 08:21:45 kavit: we are working on kvm/libvert support this cycle 08:22:02 sarob, hrm that could be problematic if people are at a venue with a slowish internet connection (as is the case many times in tier 2 or tier 3 cities here in India) 08:22:06 can't we store images here: http://tarballs.openstack.org ? 08:22:50 mrmartin: never asked 08:22:50 kavit: we have the same issues of the venue's internet quality. don't except a pub or caffe with high-bandwidth internet connection 08:23:09 we could use packer to build demo images 08:23:09 maybe the speaker can prepare the images in advance and distribute them, I think either apt or yum with cached packages would make life so much easier 08:23:17 maybe based on devstack 08:23:20 mrmartin: i would assume a few images would be more space than the whole release 08:23:40 mrmartin: guys slow down 08:23:52 what you think about distribution of packer configurations? 08:23:53 we have the osbash scripts working 08:24:07 no reason to start something new 08:24:15 work with the trainer team 08:24:41 sarob, I am happy to try them out, sure 08:24:47 otherwise you will end up supporting it, and thats a lot of work 08:25:08 ok. 08:25:18 kavit: the trainer team would love to have the feedback and ideas on how to improve 08:25:37 ok cool, I will contact you off list and take it from there 08:25:54 I will also try and collate some slide decks by the next meeting 08:26:18 last things from the last meeting 08:26:32 i asked mrmartin to add a few things on the todo list 08:26:53 google on air, meetup api support 08:27:41 id like to add region , user group attributes to the foundation profiles 08:27:56 so speakers and ambassadors can list their coverage 08:28:05 I suggest for the next phase to assign real users to their groups in groups portal 08:28:22 the foundation profile thing won't be easy, I think will take for a time 08:28:39 real users? 08:28:45 becuase the data is not decoupled from private informations. 08:28:58 you mean the user group organizer 08:29:06 yeap, so we need to ask Group Leaders to login, and share their username with us 08:29:25 ah, okay 08:29:25 so I can assign them to their groups, because this information now comes from a groups.json file. 08:29:53 So we need to start this transition process, and finally we don't need to use groups.json as a data source for portals 08:29:59 maybe we should just farm that out to the ambassadors to come up with the user group organizers 08:30:20 a lot easier than tracking down 65+ people 08:30:48 exactly, I'll send out a mail to ambassador list, when all the auth related changes rolled out and it is working with the new oauth2. 08:30:49 i already know everyone in the US 08:30:59 mrmartin: cool 08:31:05 we can do it with egallen in EU 08:31:20 who can help in Asia? 08:31:22 Yes we can do it 08:31:41 kavit: ? 08:32:31 sure, i can help 08:33:12 we can use the google sheet made by Tom for official groups. 08:33:35 action: mrmartin will put out a request to track down the user group organizers, those on this meeting will help lead the effort 08:33:54 #action: mrmartin will put out a request to track down the user group organizers, those on this meeting will help lead the effort 08:34:45 #action kavit is working on the starter packs 08:35:08 #topic review action items from the summit 08:35:18 #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ambassador-meeting-20141107 08:35:47 kavit already listed his 08:36:30 Official user group process? 08:36:41 mrmartin: can you be ready to run down the state of the groups portal using storyboard for the next meeting? 08:37:12 of course 08:37:17 cool 08:38:11 some of them is ready, just need to change the state 08:38:17 the major thing is this: Enable user interactions 08:38:52 it would be good to have anyone that is interested in the groups portal state just review the storyboard project 08:39:03 just like i use launchpad blueprints 08:39:50 mrmartin: what about the official user group process? 08:40:13 do we have any progress with that? which groups is official finally, what this exactly means 08:40:31 nope not from me 08:40:33 there was some discussion about marketing assets for official groups 08:41:28 mrmartin: i think that was part of the get stuff idea, was after an official group, i think 08:41:40 ok. 08:42:15 tfifield: you around? 08:43:02 id like to figure that out soonish 08:43:07 ok. 08:43:39 #action sarob ask foundation about official user group process, how to, and plans 08:44:03 i think that covers the etherpad 08:44:35 ok, do we have any other open topic? 08:44:49 i have one more 08:45:04 #topic sfbay meetings 08:45:42 i am starting monthly user group organizer/sponsor meetings for my local group 08:45:46 #link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Sfbay-user-group 08:46:09 cool 08:46:17 id really like to organize the meeting agenda and results around groups portal 08:46:34 this group cant use irc 08:46:48 but i will take notes and dump them into the wiki for now 08:46:59 id like to figure out a structure 08:47:09 and then encourage other user groups to follow 08:47:26 could be part of the group officaliness 08:48:04 i have one more subject 08:48:15 I see for other groups, that they are doing events but maybe one in every three month or half year 08:48:46 egallen: lets finish this one first 08:48:50 OK 08:49:15 mrmartin: you think this would help them be more organized 08:49:23 mrmartin: do more events? 08:49:40 so we could find a way to help them to grow their channels. 08:49:54 to acquire more attendees / members, and we need to launch this speaker list 08:50:03 to feed them with topics / speakers 08:50:04 mrmartin: agreed 08:50:22 okay lets move on so egallen can talk 08:50:30 #topic any other business 08:50:50 egallen: the floor is yours 08:50:53 sarob, meetings in India have averaged at two a month in different cities and we use a democratic model to decide times and dates. I could help with formalising the structure for the Official process 08:51:07 * kavit must be lggging 08:51:40 kavit: any thing to help organize people is good 08:51:45 #topic mentor user group organizers 08:51:55 The new Tunisian OpenStack user group has organized is first meetup last Sunday 14/12 08:52:04 nice 08:52:08 #link https://www.linkedin.com/groups/Tunisian-OpenStack-Users-Group-TOSUG-8220062 08:52:09 egallen: cool 08:52:09 good stuff 08:52:26 egallen: Slovakia user group will be launched in 2015Q1 08:52:28 egallen, can we do anything to help? 08:52:31 The leader is Soufiene Chraigui 08:52:41 This group want to organize a complete OpenStack day 08:52:55 and need speakers and perhaps sponsors 08:53:01 cool, in 2015? 08:53:04 Yes 08:53:27 egallen: sounds great 08:53:29 I discuss with him to first create the group 08:53:41 workshops and meetups 08:53:54 federate people before a big event 08:54:00 the attendee number is the question always, you are right 08:54:04 egallen, maybe we can have a hangouts session with the guy to give him some pointers.
