18:16:22 #startmeeting uc 18:16:23 Meeting started Mon Jul 30 18:16:22 2018 UTC and is due to finish in 60 minutes. The chair is spotz. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. 18:16:24 Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic #startvote. 18:16:24 I was also really hoping to promote the UC elections, but wanted to get feedback and a vote on the language/requirements that I put together. 18:16:27 The meeting name has been set to 'uc' 18:16:29 just so we're logging 18:16:36 #topic roll call 18:16:52 o/ 18:16:58 #chair apotz vw 18:16:59 Warning: Nick not in channel: apotz 18:17:00 Current chairs: apotz spotz vw 18:17:06 #chair spotz vw 18:17:07 Current chairs: apotz spotz vw 18:17:13 cause I can't spell my own name 18:17:15 o/ 18:17:18 o/ 18:17:32 #topic PTG 18:17:51 Cause that's as good a place to start our semi-official meeting 18:18:01 We need to set a UC agenda for PTG 18:18:09 +1 18:18:37 I would like to have some time set aside to review the user survey in depth and discuss potential changes in person :) that's one thing I would like to champion for the agenda 18:18:40 Yeah and I'm not sure we should wait for the OPS meetup schedule to be formalized, at the same time we should avoid those days unless combined 18:19:06 Yeah - probably best to just pick a different day. 18:19:07 aka a meeting specifically weith the ops folks 18:19:56 I'd say we could do something on Wednesday/Thursday safetly enough or half day each. I know I'm leaving midday on Friday 18:20:07 hence safetly 18:20:32 and yeah that's not correct spelling:) 18:20:45 I'd suggest picking a day that has the least conflicts for y'all. 18:21:33 Yeah which is why I'm also thinking half day Wed and half day thurs if needed. I need to go to some of the OSA stuff and maybe tripleo 18:21:36 Wed - Fri are good for me 18:21:44 with the Ops stuff being Monday/Tuesday 18:22:07 So let's see what mrhillman has and if Leong and Severio are attending and go from there 18:22:38 I would suggest trying to put a UC specific agenda item on the actual Ops Meetup schedule 18:22:45 And then we could meet Wednesday? 18:23:07 Ok, and I'm thinking maybe later Tuesday as a feedback session that could lead into Wednesday? 18:23:09 we should communicate the goal of having the in person meeting at the PTG during the election so the new UC members can plan to attend 18:23:29 https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/SteinPTG-UCAgenda 18:23:45 Sweet thanks jamesmcarthur 18:24:39 Ok I've put the 3 things we just talked there 18:24:47 #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/SteinPTG-UCAgenda 18:24:53 and to get that official 18:25:05 aprice: spotz: The communication re: meeting at the PTG needs to be done before the actual PTG 18:25:35 spotz: or VW: do you want to promote that on the UC ML along with teh elections? 18:25:44 jamesmcarthur aprice - or as part of the election even, just saying we're meeting and if you are leected please plan on attending 18:26:30 so what you said with less words! 18:26:35 yes - I can promote the etherpad on the UC list 18:26:52 sorry - getting blown up by three different chats at once 18:26:56 VW: But also encouraging the newly elected members to join us at PTG 18:26:59 down to two now :) 18:27:03 yep yep 18:27:16 we won't know those for a couple of weeks, though 18:27:31 but yeah on ML we need to promote that ether user/ops lists I think 18:27:51 No but it'd be good for folks to keep it in the back of their mind 18:29:49 right, i think letting people that are running know that it's happening is good 18:29:55 ideally they'd be there anyway as Operators 18:30:24 Well it could be the nudge to their boss to get to go 18:30:33 Indeed 18:30:42 Should we change topic to AUC Updates? 18:31:19 go for it 18:31:29 #topic AUC updates 18:31:43 So a couple of things: 18:31:57 I believe this paseed the vote, but hasn't been announced, posted yet? 18:32:01 1) We need to publicize the vote and specify the new AUC qualifications 18:32:07 (right spotz:) :) 18:32:22 See I do pay attention!:) 18:33:03 I think it's a good opportunity to publicize what the hell an AUC even is and the fact htat they get a $300 summit ticket. 18:33:25 #indeed 18:33:32 Most people don't realize they've qualified or why they have. So explaining ALL of the things that qualify as an AUC, not just the new ones would be helpful. 18:33:53 jamesmcarthur: how are we on the display port? 18:34:03 +1 18:34:04 We can promote that from OpenStack handles to add some oomf behind it (aprice: ?) 18:34:11 yep 18:34:12 The display port? 18:34:20 Oh 18:34:24 AUC badge on profiles 18:34:26 For showing the names on the site 18:34:30 :) 18:34:37 It's on the list ;) 18:34:37 i actually think it would make a good Superuser post or OpenStack blog post if someone from the UC wants to write something brief :) 18:34:58 I'll likely have it up along with the ATC list, ahead of Berlin. 18:35:00 because it would be great to link to that during user calls / getting ops folks engaged 18:35:22 +1 18:35:26 #action UC put together a SU article for AUC 18:36:12 should we consider that action as part of the promotion? 18:36:21 I just made Nicole suffere through my COA article 18:36:21 and announcement of AUC changes 18:36:33 ha! 18:36:35 jamesmcarthur: I would think so, 18:36:39 ok cool 18:36:52 2) I'm working on gathering those new AUC qualfiers, but might need some help from y'all. I will reach out. 18:37:00 Maybe the artcile linked in the email for folks needing more info, etc 18:37:04 I have to have them done before ballots go out... so it's very high priority from my side. 18:37:16 spotz: yes +1 18:37:34 jamesmcarthur: Ok if you need me aprice and Erin both have my cell, feel free to grab from one of them 18:37:43 thank you :) 18:38:20 Ok anyhing else on AUC? 18:38:42 spotz: feel free to assign me work offline 18:38:55 VW: okie 18:39:04 I'm also happy to help with email crafting, but I don't want to step on toes. Let me know where I'm needed. 18:39:16 I think that's it for AUC stuff 18:39:25 jamesmcarthur: Need you on the lists and related stuffage! 18:39:30 word 18:39:30 #topic election 18:39:58 We can't do much here but just doublechecked the dates and nominations open on 8/6 and close on 8/17 18:40:26 But I think later this week maybe a hey all, noms open next week and this is why you should run? 18:40:44 I put together that list of UC responsibilities as a rough list. Please don't hold me to any of that, but I do think we should send out something close to it along with comms. 18:40:56 And yes - we need to promote heavily to all lists :) 18:42:04 yes spotz - we should send that out. It's probably better from someone who's not up for election this time 18:42:11 Yeah it'd be nice to get as nice a response in niminations as we did for officials:) 18:42:29 ++ 18:42:38 That's VW's hint for me I think:) 18:43:11 really anyone on the UC !me 18:43:13 :) 18:43:45 Ok we'll poke about and see but we really should have that out by thurs/fri 18:44:12 #action UC send out a 'hey you should run and why' email in front of nominations opening next week 18:44:24 I can send that out to if that helps? 18:44:40 jamesmcarthur: I thought you just said you didn't want to?:) 18:44:58 will there be a meeting sometime after the nominations close ? 18:45:18 Well... I just said I didn't want to step on anyone's toes ;) But you guys have a SuperUser article to write. 18:45:35 melsakhawy: We meet every week unless soemthing happens 18:45:46 So yes 18:46:12 sounds good , thanks 18:47:22 melsakhawy: are you thinking of running for the UC? 18:47:34 We do alternate time slots which can be a bit confusing. Keep an eye on the UC list for meeting reminders 18:47:57 I volunteered for the elections officership :) 18:48:06 spotz: VW: as I said, just let me know how I can help on the email front. If not me, someone from Foundation can assist. 18:48:18 new to it though , so trying to find out how the process work 18:48:28 melsakhawy: Ah, I missed that! Thank you!! 18:49:10 melsakhawy: Ed who's also an official was an official with me 2 elections ago so he'll be able to help you out. Hopefully nothing exciting will occur:) 18:49:24 Perhaps we need an election official bootcamp 18:49:37 With BBQ?:) 18:49:42 haha 18:50:10 that'd be nice , I guess I can ping Ed to get more info 18:50:31 It should as simple as checking Jimjmy's list and updating the wiki page. Then setting up the vote which Ed has done which will make it a little easier 18:50:55 Ok 10 minutes left, gonna swap out to open discussion 18:51:01 #topic open discussion 18:51:26 We can still go on about elecetion if needed but wanted to give folks a chance to bring anything new up 18:51:46 I think I am good, thanks 18:53:41 Anyone have a topic they want to bring up? 18:54:26 Oh one other thing... 18:54:33 Ok I'm going to give everyone.... Oh sure 18:54:53 My proposal on the ML re: the two meetings per month (including a joint meeting with the TC) was simply that. 18:55:09 I kind of dig it 18:55:13 but get all the points made 18:55:28 We've had some trouble making quorum, so I wanted to see if we could help ease teh time commitment for everyone while increasing productivity 18:55:32 Just an idea, basically. 18:55:41 But note that I haven't run any of it by the TC. 18:55:53 I like it too, and especially the joint meeting and maybe getting rid of meeting time confusion 18:56:04 SO.... if it's something y'all are interested in, it would be good to have a UC member reach out to Doug or Thierry 18:56:17 Except for the last 2 weeks I'm usually about but that was 2 weeks with no quorum cause I was out and about:( 18:56:43 I realize nothing can happen w/o quorum, so just food for thought. 18:56:51 I've missed a few myself due to the time confusion. 18:57:25 then I'll try to update the agenda for next week 18:57:26 That's all from me :) 18:57:32 to discuss this specifically 18:57:36 at 14:00 UTC :) 18:57:38 Cool, thanks VW 18:57:46 Thanks y'all! 18:57:49 Anything else? 18:57:59 #endmeeting
