And I’d love if we had owners for each one of the tracks 22:21:43 and maybe develop plan towards some other lists? 22:22:30 other lists? 22:22:45 the list in the etherpad : https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/app-eco-objectives 22:23:25 ah ok :D 22:23:32 pick item (0) for Ocata 22:23:54 P cycle is towards Nov 2017 22:23:59 item 4 also is something we should aim for Ocata.. 22:24:10 Working more closely with other related Working Groups 22:24:18 IMO 22:24:27 It's a long list - how many goals do you realistically think the team can take on in this short cycle? 22:24:27 we need something for O May 2017 22:24:48 that's why i'm suggesting pick only (0) for O cycle :-) 22:25:23 I would like to propose #4 for this cycle too 22:25:45 #0 and #4 seem reasonable to me 22:25:49 seem achievable 22:25:52 I think we can do those in parallel 22:26:04 do you want to use a +1 system to "vote"? Like everyone gets 2 votes or ...? 22:26:07 #4 is an ongoing process .. :-) but that's definitely a good goal for O cycle 22:26:49 we should at least have a definition of how the teams can work together... if we merge, who merges with who... 22:28:19 and the one common goal on the discussion at the summit was item 0 of the list. both on the AppEcoWG and the App Enabling uber group (I don;t have good name for that) 22:29:45 if we're all in agreement with focusing on #0 and #4 for Ocata what are the next steps? 22:30:42 maybe a mailing list thread noting that those are our goals, and we start throwing out actionable suggestions for how to proceed? 22:31:01 Just think that we can't solve it in this meeting, and might end up engaging some folks who aren't here at the moment 22:31:50 that is correct. two threads then? one for each item? And we bring #0 to the agenda next week? 22:32:18 and make it a planning session for our call meeting? 22:32:48 while I schedule time with the other WG/team leads around #4 22:33:50 agrred on all counts 22:33:57 *agreed 22:34:16 +1 22:34:47 time for actions! 22:35:48 #actoin docaedo to let Patifa specify the actions for this meetings 22:36:22 #action Patifa start thread about decision of focusing on #0, add to agenda next week and call for participants 22:37:18 #action Patifa send doodle to other WG/team leads and schedule time to discuss #4 22:37:28 no more actions for docaedo ;) 22:37:38 :D 22:38:28 At the summit, since we did not have etherpad, I ended up working on a plan for #0 after our meeting 22:38:33 #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/AppEco_WG_BCN 22:39:15 nice 22:39:30 we had two actions from stefano and alejandra+olaph 22:39:44 Stefano to share on going effort to identify problems for developers 22:39:44 Alejandra + Olaph to propose a plan 22:39:45 might want to consider creating a series of "tutorial" to help AppDev to jump onboard on OpenStack.. at developer.openstack.org 22:40:19 I like that leong 22:41:06 let's push that into the planning meeting 22:41:20 Agreed on that, seems like a good idea 22:41:50 just added to 1.1.2.1 22:42:07 on the etherpad - under "generate content" 22:42:48 the other low hanging fruit was the survey 22:42:57 creating a survey to collect data from app developers to be distributed at events like Hackathons, Meetups etc. 22:43:52 I know that the AppHack WG folks were working with Piet (UX project) on this... 22:46:12 (15 minutes remaining) 22:46:37 Should we invite them to the conversation? Alejandra, Olaph, Stephano, Gonzalo, Michael Jenkins and Piet Kruithof? 22:47:29 definitely 22:47:39 one area i would like to brought up here for consideration: this team need to consider moving focus beyond FirstApp to more about cloud-native topics (e.g. app arch changes, design pattern, container for apps, etc). 22:47:54 i talked about that in the maillist: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/user-committee/2016-November/001355.html 22:47:58 I think olaph would normally be here but he might be in transit today for a team meeting we are having later this week 22:48:36 do you want this action docaedo? to invite them? 22:48:57 Patifa: sure :) 22:49:55 #action docaedo invite Alejandra, Olaph, Stephano, Gonzalo, Michael Jenkins and Piet Kruithof to the party (meeting) next week to contibute with the plan to improve developer.openstack.org 22:50:48 leong, back to your point. I agree with you. How do we add it to our laundry list? 22:51:28 we can talk about that as part of the list (0), it might span additional sub-topics 22:52:39 pls put that into the planning list :-) sorry i need to drop.. talk to you next time... :-) 22:53:03 ok.. I'll add it to the list of possible content. We'll see if ppl have that content already that they can share in developer.openstack.org and plan to create the content that is missing in the future 22:53:16 any objections? 22:53:51 sounds good to me 22:54:32 sounds good 22:54:39 ok, added to the plan! 22:54:56 (5 minutes left) 22:55:11 (and we're doing pretty good w/r/t the agenda!) 22:56:24 yep! :D 22:57:31 Anything else we feel we can discuss in the remaining 3 min? 22:59:28 think that's a no :) 22:59:36 thanks for running the meeting Patifa 22:59:46 np! let me close it! 22:59:52 thanks everyone! 22:59:52 #endmeeting
