It seems that Shilla wont be able to attend. 18:01:48 <shamail> hi everyone. 18:02:05 <emagana> hi shamail 18:02:20 <emagana> 3 out of 5 which means we have quorum! 18:02:54 <shamail> :) 18:03:46 <emagana> #cochair jproulx shamail 18:04:02 <emagana> Oh wait, that is not the command.. 18:04:20 * jproulx can never remember that one either 18:04:28 <shamail> its just #chair 18:04:45 <mrhillsman> o/ 18:04:49 <emagana> #chair shamail jproulx 18:04:49 <openstack> Current chairs: emagana jproulx shamail 18:04:58 <emagana> Thanks shamail! I just forgot about it. 18:05:08 <shamail> np 18:05:17 <emagana> Ok, I have been almost 10 days out. I need sometime to re-adjust. 18:05:42 <emagana> Let's start with the agenda #link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/UserCommittee 18:06:09 <jamemcc> So my main point of business is at it's most direct to asky you to move next weeks meeting to Wednesday 0500 UTC, This is at request of those WG chairs who filled in the surevey of what times would work for them at #link http://doodle.com/poll/6k36zgre9ttciwqz 18:06:32 <jamemcc> #link http://doodle.com/poll/6k36zgre9ttciwqz 18:06:38 <emagana> #topic Finalize approach proposed for WG Status meetings 18:07:20 <emagana> jamemcc: This is for the monthly meeting with WGs chairs, correct? 18:07:34 <jamemcc> Yes 18:07:56 <shamail> jamemcc: who are the WG chairs that responded to the survey? I see others that are not chairs 18:08:22 <jamemcc> TO sumamrize taht proposed approach it is to have the Status at the UC meeting monthy nd then to take action items for collabortion back to our individual meetings. 18:08:31 <shamail> I recognize 1-2 names as chairs from that doodle poll 18:08:40 <shamail> 3* 18:08:44 <emagana> jamemcc: very low response rate also, only 9 18:09:15 <jamemcc> Fro my perspective/knowledge it's FEDMDC, OPs Telco NFV, Logging, LCOO, and OPNFV 18:09:48 <jamemcc> Agreed, I think that's kind of our older issue though how can we encourage participation by Chairs 18:10:12 <jproulx> To a certain extent we need to go with those who respond as those who will particiapte, so unless we have a better idea how to get more response... 18:10:27 <jproulx> though not sure I can do a 1am local time meeting 18:10:27 <emagana> should we wait one more week before making a decision and chase the WG chairs directly to have them to fill up the doodle? 18:10:52 <leong> you may include me as from PWG, however my preference is at this hour though :) 18:10:54 <jamemcc> Yeah It's especially rough on Eastern US time 18:11:42 <shamail> jproulx: +1 18:11:47 <jamemcc> I could start the poll over again with more time slots - but I know that this time is not going to work for most Eurpoeans or Asia Pacific 18:11:49 <mrhillsman> +` 18:11:53 <mrhillsman> +1 18:11:58 <jproulx> clearly we need to get some APAC folks on UC, having us all bunched up is not so good 18:12:08 <mrhillsman> agreed 18:12:25 <emagana> I like the idea to push a bit harder on the doodle response time before making a decision 18:12:35 <mrhillsman> i can volunteer until that happens to be available for apac uc meeting 18:12:45 <emagana> jamemcc: Did you email directly the doodle to all WGs chairs? 18:12:53 <jamemcc> No 18:12:56 <leong> those responded to doodle pool, are they from APAC? 18:12:59 <emagana> maybe we should do that 18:13:46 <mrhillsman> +1 18:13:53 <jamemcc> By mo limited knowledge only Shintaro is APAC - rest are mostly in Europe and US 18:13:58 <emagana> If some of the UC members can't make it for the time zone difference, we should be fine anyway because it is mostly a cross collaboration meeting, any needed decision can be taken to the UC IRc meeting on Mondays 18:14:20 <mrhillsman> exactly what i am thinking 18:14:44 <jamemcc> This effort is in fact championed by Shintaro as much as me though so from my perspective he is critical. He ran the other Forum in Boston on this topic and instrumental in getting this proposal this far. 18:14:44 <jproulx> leong: I don't know but 0500UTC seems more APAC friendly than other areas, that was where I based my assumption 18:14:54 <shamail> emagana: +1 18:15:26 <emagana> I can make it at 0500 UTC. It will be 10PM PST 18:15:45 <mrhillsman> i can be available as a sign of good faith/support as mentioned previously as well 18:15:58 <shamail> thanks mrhillsman 18:16:03 <mrhillsman> and capture any required/desired info 18:16:15 <mrhillsman> etc etc 18:16:27 <emagana> mrhillsman: awesome! 18:16:52 <emagana> ok, we will wait one more week and chase the WG chairs directly. all in agreement? 18:16:59 <mrhillsman> +` 18:17:00 <jproulx> That's excellent we don't need UC quorum unless a formal decision is being made but we should def have atleast 2 18:17:01 <mrhillsman> meh 18:17:02 <jamemcc> +1 18:17:03 <mrhillsman> +1 18:17:07 <jproulx> +1 18:17:29 <emagana> #action jamemcc emagana forward the doodle directly to all WGs chair and request for their response. 18:17:30 <shamail> +1 18:18:08 <emagana> anything on this topic? 18:18:22 <emagana> ok.. 18:18:26 <emagana> #topic Help UC with items from last weeks meeting 18:18:48 <emagana> I will ask shamail to help here because I wasn't around the last week. 18:19:00 <shamail> Sure thing 18:19:56 <shamail> The big item from last week that was left open due to not having quorum is to build an action plan towards enabling self-registration of WGs for AUC by WG chairs 18:20:23 <shamail> We had proposed creating a file in the uc repo and letting WG chairs update it with “active members” and the UC could merge updates 18:20:31 <jproulx> +1 18:20:37 <emagana> that sounds great shamail 18:20:44 <shamail> A) Do we agree with this approach and B) Who wants to lead it? 18:20:53 <emagana> I guess we need to make it formal and we will need to vo te it 18:20:56 <emagana> vote* 18:20:57 <shamail> Yeah 18:21:35 <shamail> The other AUC metrics will continue to leverage the automated scripts created for identifying AUCs 18:21:43 <emagana> Proposal: Creating a file in the uc repo and letting WG chairs update it with “active members” 18:21:47 <emagana> #startvote 18:21:48 <openstack> Unable to parse vote topic and options. 18:22:42 <shamail> #startvote Do we create a file in the uc repo and letting WG chairs update it with active members? yes, no 18:22:43 <openstack> Begin voting on: Do we create a file in the uc repo and letting WG chairs update it with active members?

Results are 18:23:52 <openstack> yes (4): shamail, mrhillsman, jproulx, emagana 18:23:59 <jamemcc> If helpful I can do the Creation of a file and initial submission for Gerrit Review. 18:24:13 <emagana> Awesome! Now, who will take the action item of creating the initial commit? 18:24:22 <mrhillsman> do we need a specific format of that file? 18:24:31 <shamail> mrhillsman: Yes, we will 18:24:43 <shamail> I generally prefer a format similar to projects file (finding link) 18:24:52 <mrhillsman> i.e. yaml ini etc so that it works with additional stuff 18:25:18 <shamail> #link https://github.com/openstack/governance/blob/master/reference/projects.yaml 18:25:26 <jamemcc> I think the people generating the AUC will tell us the format - will need to be the same as the current automation. 18:25:28 <shamail> ours would be “WG name:” 18:25:33 <shamail> “chairs" 18:25:40 <emagana> +1 18:25:52 <shamail> and the extra-atc section becomes the “active-members” section 18:26:21 <shamail> I think we should also create another file for extra-AUC in general (to let other eligble AUC groups self-register if they feel they were omitted) 18:26:32 <jproulx> We should ask Tom Fifield about format since he's done the automation scripts that would need to process it 18:26:48 <shamail> jproulx: +1 18:27:04 <jproulx> but that proposal seems a good start 18:27:09 <emagana> jproulx: +1 and shamail +1 18:27:25 <shamail> I have another question related to this... 18:27:26 <jproulx> Tom was looking for a project :) 18:27:41 <emagana> jproulx: LOL 18:27:56 <shamail> If we are going to let WG chairs self-register their teams then do we disable the IRC meeting script that detects WG participation based on 4 meetings & 100 lines of chat? 18:28:15 <shamail> We can keep the other automation scripts (for other AUC groups) online but I think this one should be disabled 18:28:36 <jproulx> I'm not sure 18:28:40 <mrhillsman> ^ 18:28:50 <shamail> We also have to define a “backup plan” (e.g. the WG chair does not update the file X weeks before summit… what do we do?) 18:28:56 <jproulx> do we want to "allow" chairs to specify members, ro "require" chairs to specify members? 18:29:14 <jproulx> I'd rather "allow" which means leaving the script I think 18:29:16 <mrhillsman> i think the goal of this file was to "allow" 18:29:18 <shamail> jproulx: I would prefer to make it “require” to have uniform guidance 18:29:23 <shamail> fair 18:29:25 <emagana> we should send direct request. If they do not respond we should question their availability for keep leading the WG 18:30:01 <shamail> No strong opinion was just trying to make it so we can offer clear guidance (but we can definitely achieve that via documentation as well) 18:30:12 <mrhillsman> yeah, i think the base of our discussion was around when the script or automation is not sufficient 18:30:21 <shamail> mrhillsman: +1 18:30:33 <mrhillsman> but i do not think improving the process should ever be off the table 18:30:47 <shamail> #info The new WG registration process will augment the automated script for WG membership collection (and not replace it) 18:30:48 <jamemcc> @shmail - I think the current method of automatically generating AUC should be reviewed as well. Could we consult with Tom or others to see if there is room for improvement. 18:30:54 <jproulx> Seems like putting administrative burden on chairs for not much gain to me, but if chairs had different feed back I'd take it 18:31:12 <shamail> @jamemcc that would be a discussion to have with UC instead of Tom 18:31:23 <jamemcc> I see 18:31:28 <shamail> happy to hear your thoughts on the deficiencies in a future meeting 18:31:34 <jamemcc> Will do 18:31:37 <mrhillsman> ^ 18:32:23 <shamail> Who wants to take the action item for populating the first file based on the https://github.com/openstack/governance/blob/master/reference/projects.yaml format? 18:32:34 <jproulx> agree reviewing AUC now we've had a run through would be appropriate near future topic 18:32:35 <shamail> I could do it but it will probably be a week before I can get to it. 18:32:56 <mrhillsman> i can 18:33:08 <shamail> thanks mrhillsman 18:33:13 <emagana> we can ask Tom F to do it as well 18:33:27 <emagana> He knows the structure properly 18:33:36 <shamail> emagana: I would rather that we attempt it and use him as a subject matter expert 18:33:46 <emagana> shamail: sounds good! 18:33:54 <mrhillsman> cool 18:33:56 <shamail> There is no uniform structure, we just extract from unstructured files and document name, irc, email 18:34:25 <shamail> emagana: I mean that we can create the file (based on the format) and ask for Tom’s help with script/automation changes based on it 18:34:46 <jproulx> shamail +1 18:35:04 <mrhillsman> i have on my todo list to look/understand the scripts/automation stuff too so this will be good first step along the way 18:35:28 <jproulx> send up a review and tag Tom would be my suggestion as well 18:35:45 <mrhillsman> ok 18:35:53 <emagana> +1 18:36:38 <mrhillsman> #action mrhillsman create first pass for wg "extra-auc" yml file 18:36:47 <shamail> I had another idea as well… 18:36:48 <emagana> #action mrhillsman to create the initial file in the uc repo 18:37:02 <mrhillsman> cool, not sure if i could action that or not 18:37:03 <shamail> should we take the etherpad documentation from the AUC WG (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/AUCRecognition#Milestones) and plan to move it into our governance page? 18:37:07 <emagana> sorry, we double posted 18:37:11 <mrhillsman> all good 18:37:21 <shamail> That way the details of the AUC eligibility criteria is available from our page 18:37:26 <emagana> I am a slow typer 18:37:31 <emagana> LOL! 18:37:36 <mrhillsman> hehe 18:37:48 <mrhillsman> shamail: totally makes sense 18:38:24 <mrhillsman> we have some old patches we need to revisit too btw 18:38:42 <emagana> mrhillsman: Could you add the links here? 18:38:43 <mrhillsman> saw those working on some other stuff this morning 18:38:44 <shamail> And for those of you interested in the automation scripts for AUC 18:38:45 <shamail> #link https://github.com/openstack/uc-recognition/ 18:38:58 <mrhillsman> sure, sec 18:39:51 <mrhillsman> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/436752/ 18:40:13 <mrhillsman> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/436757/ 18:40:37 <emagana> Cheers! 18:40:52 <mrhillsman> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/437748/ - this one we said to wait until after next round of elections 18:41:08 <mrhillsman> but i think we can look revisit the other two 18:41:15 <mrhillsman> even if not in this meeting necessarily 18:41:18 <leong> Btw, App Dev Enablement Working Group: chairs: Patricia Montenegro, Christopher Aedo. This no longer exist. 18:41:22 <mrhillsman> i can put on agenda for next week 18:41:54 <mrhillsman> or anyone else can :) 18:42:33 <shamail> Lets put it on the agenda 18:42:38 <mrhillsman> ok 18:42:55 <mrhillsman> another agreement to make it official? 18:43:04 <shamail> but reading the comments, I think we have to approve the process to becoming a WG first 18:43:26 <mrhillsman> ah, right 18:43:55 <emagana> #action shamail mrhillsman adding the topic of reviewing WGs in the next UC meeting 18:44:10 <emagana> So, are we good with the currect topic? 18:44:14 <emagana> current* 18:44:18 <mrhillsman> +1 18:45:32 <emagana> I do not see any other topic in the agenda 18:45:43 <emagana> should we move to open discussion? 18:45:51 <jproulx> +1 18:46:20 <emagana> #topic Open Discussion 18:46:23 <emagana> Anyone? 18:46:48 <mrhillsman> just want to toss out there again folks take a look at and comment/add to SIGs proposal 18:47:09 <mrhillsman> #link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gTeN5ZB2AnPPXejXOm08sQ75Fc-cMs-x-dOGwfsyM8w 18:48:02 <emagana> yes, we all should do 18:48:25 <mrhillsman> ideally i think the hope is a couple things - asynchronously get it to the point of a meeting between those who agreed to participate from the joint meeting, and then in those meetings get to the point of sending to larger community 18:48:29 <mrhillsman> nothing more from me 18:48:48 <leong> mrhillsman: i have posted my comment on the doc 18:50:16 <emagana> If we do not have other topics, we could adjourn 18:50:50 <jproulx> 2nd motion to adjourn ... 18:51:01 <emagana> Ok, just as a reminder we should have any conversation in our #openstack-uc channel 18:51:14 <emagana> Thank you all! 18:51:15 <emagana> #endmeeting
