| spotz | Meeting in 35 unless I've lost it again:) | 16:26 |
|---|---|---|
| spotz | Anyone here for the meeting? | 17:03 |
| diablo_rojo | 0/ | 17:04 |
| spotz | If it's just us official meeting or no? I hate wasting log space | 17:06 |
| diablo_rojo | I dont think I need a meeting unless there are things you need to talk about | 17:07 |
| spotz | We've just been on brreak for the last month. fungi filled me in on Shanghai last week | 17:08 |
| spotz | We've gotten like 5 spam mails to the mentoring list plus the good one | 17:08 |
| fungi | oh, yep | 17:09 |
| fungi | i also don't need a meeting, but am here for one if others want | 17:10 |
| spotz | heheh | 17:10 |
| spotz | To fill you in diablo_rojo Meg was in the hospital she stopped in and filled us in on her absence:( | 17:10 |
| diablo_rojo | :/ | 17:11 |
| diablo_rojo | I hope she's alright. | 17:11 |
| spotz | At some point need to find out if we need to plan anything for Vancouver. normally we don't do anything for PTG but this seems like it might be more | 17:11 |
| spotz | Yeah she's feeling better | 17:11 |
| diablo_rojo | 'a collaborative event' | 17:12 |
| fungi | yeah, vancouver isn't "just a ptg" so... | 17:12 |
| spotz | So yeah undecided if therre'd be any official diversity stuff like speed mentoring or a lunch. If I can get there I don't mind doiong the unofficial stuff like the outing | 17:12 |
| diablo_rojo | I dont think its going to be a summit either. | 17:13 |
| diablo_rojo | Some weird middle ground. | 17:13 |
| spotz | Yeah hence not sure and figured it might be too early to actually ask:) | 17:13 |
| diablo_rojo | But we don't even know yet so.. I think you have a while before figuring any of that out :) | 17:13 |
| fungi | we could also try to do something other than training/socials, as much a departure from the past as the event itself will be | 17:14 |
| diablo_rojo | +2 | 17:14 |
| diablo_rojo | Something like that might be a good idea | 17:14 |
| diablo_rojo | Something fresh. | 17:14 |
| spotz | I'm open to ideas for sure | 17:14 |
| fungi | maybe more like the short films and speakers we've gotten on diversity topics | 17:15 |
| fungi | or something more engaging but really focused on increasing community/contributor diversity | 17:15 |
| spotz | fungi it'd be nice to have like a mini track or a room if possible | 17:16 |
| fungi | yeah, my main gripe with the trainings/lunch-n-learn and socials has been that any advancement of the diversity mission was more of a side-effect | 17:16 |
| spotz | But it has to be close enough for people to show up on a break and yet shortr enough to not have confllicts (aka OPS meetup in Denver) | 17:16 |
| spotz | But those are the events we get people vs the BoF/Forum/etc:( | 17:17 |
| fungi | not that they weren't useful in their own right, but the diversity tie-in was... subtle at best | 17:17 |
| fungi | i agree, anything more diversity-topical has a tendency to draw fewer attendees, so there's certainly a balancing act | 17:18 |
| *** SWDevAngel has joined #openstack-diversity | 17:18 | |
| spotz | And of course conflicts with 'more' important things | 17:18 |
| fungi | yep | 17:18 |
| SWDevAngel | Hi, sorry I'm late. | 17:18 |
| fungi | i do like your idea of having a diversity track | 17:19 |
| spotz | Hey SWDevAngel we decided to forgo the log and are just brainstorming:) | 17:19 |
| fungi | we should at least suggest it to the event organizers | 17:19 |
| SWDevAngel | Ahhhh got it. Okay. Well my web client won't let me scroll up and see what I missed, so you'll just have to start over. LOL! (Kidding...) | 17:19 |
| fungi | if we can make a compelling case, i expect they'd be all about trying to find a way to integrate it into teh event | 17:19 |
| spotz | I will say when I've managed to go to Open Source Summit the Diversity/Community track has been growing. | 17:20 |
| spotz | And I'm all about helping some of the other projects if they'd like to be included | 17:20 |
| fungi | SWDevAngel: http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-diversity/latest.log.html but it may take a few minutes to catch up | 17:20 |
| SWDevAngel | Yes, I presented in that track (in Vancouver 2 summers ago) and the talk was actually really well attended. Doesn't always happen with D/I talks. | 17:20 |
| SWDevAngel | Thanks Fungi. Will "eavesdrop." :) | 17:21 |
| fungi | spotz: i agree, as an osf board-mandated working group this isn't just openstack | 17:21 |
| spotz | So I think that's something we should look into doing reegardless of Vancouver. But the face to face there will help. I'll do my best to get there. Shanghai was just too hard all around | 17:22 |
| spotz | I'll stick that one the agenda for next real meeting. It'll be the groups new year's resolution:) | 17:23 |
| fungi | i totally get it. was hard enough for me, but i avoided a bunch of other travel to compensate | 17:23 |
| fungi | at least it's on your continent this time! ;) | 17:24 |
| * fungi needs to get his passport renewed between now and then | 17:24 | |
| SWDevAngel | The next Summit is in Vancouver again? Awesome! Do you know the date? | 17:25 |
| fungi | it's not really a "summit" it'll be a collaborative event sort of like a ptg and opendev together, is the most information we have at the moment | 17:25 |
| spotz | I got my pictures on Saturday. Need to make an appointment to go to the Courthouse hopefully Thursday to get renewed a little faster | 17:25 |
| fungi | and yeah i think there's a rough date, looking now | 17:25 |
| fungi | if memory serves it's some time in may | 17:26 |
| spotz | Just don't say during Dalmatian Nationaals or Pony Cup:) | 17:26 |
| spotz | But yeah fungi be careful of the 6 months out thing | 17:26 |
| fungi | exactly, mine expires in september | 17:27 |
| fungi | and i've got to go to brussels at the end of january, so probably won't be able to start the renewal until i get home | 17:28 |
| spotz | Mine's August and I'm trying to do an office visit aroound the time of FOSDEM but we'll see | 17:28 |
| spotz | fungi: No do it now like I'm planning to | 17:28 |
| fungi | yeah if you go to fosdem, lmk and we can try to grab dinner with some other stackers or something | 17:29 |
| SWDevAngel | I did mine by mail and it was really quick. Got the pics done at Costco. | 17:29 |
| spotz | fungi: Will do:) | 17:29 |
| fungi | i actually have extra pics from my chinese entry visa application, but the dimensions are slightly different do will probably have to get more | 17:30 |
| spotz | SWDevAngel: I'm hoping the courthouse route will make sure all paperwork is correct, etc in case I do something bad on the app | 17:30 |
| SWDevAngel | KubeCon was 2 weeks ago and it was a total OpenStack reunion. Even a bunch of Foundation folks were there, including Jonathan and Claire. | 17:30 |
| fungi | still, it was like $16 for a sheet of 8 at cvs pharmacy here on the island | 17:30 |
| spotz | We went to Walgreens 5 minutes | 17:30 |
| spotz | Ours was $32 something for 2 pics of me and 2 of hubby | 17:30 |
| fungi | took me something like half an hour, but that was because they had to get the manager to figure out how to pick the right preset for the chinese visa dimensions | 17:31 |
| SWDevAngel | Really? Wait, what island? Costco wasn't that much (but I don't remember how much). I just remember the woman at Costco was so cool and actually showed me the pic before she printed it to see if I liked it. These things last 10 years. Might as well have a pic you like! :) | 17:31 |
| * fungi lives in a sleepy fishing village off the easy coast | 17:32 | |
| SWDevAngel | no way!!!! Wow! | 17:32 |
| fungi | er, also the east coast, but sure it's also the easy coast | 17:32 |
| SWDevAngel | I never knew that. (But I did always wonder when you would talk about the hurricanes coming) | 17:32 |
| fungi | north carolina outer banks | 17:33 |
| fungi | we're best known for our hurricanes and shipwrecks | 17:33 |
| spotz | I'm happy my new picture is with straight hair:) | 17:33 |
| SWDevAngel | Yes, I also had to make sure to take my picture on a dry, not humid day! LOL! | 17:36 |
| fungi | aprice hooked me up because i'm terrible at finding things: "JUNE 8-11, 2020" https://www.openstack.org/summit/vancouver-2020 | 17:37 |
| fungi | so even later than i (mis)remembered | 17:37 |
| fungi | anyway, if there's anything like "tracks" or "topics" for it, we ought to work out how to get diversity as a theme there | 17:38 |
| SWDevAngel | June? Wow! | 17:38 |
| fungi | vancouver will be gorgeous in june, fwiw | 17:38 |
| SWDevAngel | TOTALLY. That is my favorite place to do a conference. | 17:38 |
| fungi | might be a good opportunity to spend some downtime out on the water or maybe extend the trip a couple days for a visit to victoria | 17:39 |
| spotz | Ok June should be in the middle of animal things | 17:39 |
| fungi | flying into sfo/pdx/sea and taking the stackertrain again might also be in order | 17:40 |
| fungi | that was fun, though a bit time-consuming | 17:41 |
| spotz | Nice, I enjoyed the train from Luxembourg to Paris | 17:43 |
| SWDevAngel | OMGosh I remember that train! I had to do a customer event so I went the day before. i did fly to SEA and carpool with a bunch of stackers tho. It was fun! | 17:44 |
| diablo_rojo | fungi, there was discussion about chartering a float plane from South Lake Union to the convention center | 17:44 |
| fungi | woah | 17:45 |
| spotz | I'd rather take the train then a llittle plane:( | 17:45 |
| diablo_rojo | if you were intersted | 17:45 |
| SWDevAngel | I remember Morgan and Aeva texting me pics of all the amazing bevvies they packed for the train. It was hilarious! You all should totally do that again! | 17:45 |
| fungi | problem with that plan is christine is interested in accompanying me and absolutely *hates* being on "small" aircraft | 17:45 |
| SWDevAngel | And open it up to new community members. You could use the train as a bonding/mentoring event! :) | 17:45 |
| spotz | ohhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 17:46 |
| spotz | +22222222222 | 17:46 |
| spotz | I really like that | 17:46 |
| fungi | SWDevAngel: yeah, we basically treated it like a mobile hackathon, it was a blast | 17:46 |
| SWDevAngel | totally! | 17:46 |
| fungi | biggest problem was assigned seating, but we managed to coopt space in the lounge cars | 17:46 |
| SWDevAngel | Ahhhhh - yeah. I wonder if you could pre-buy out a chunk of the car and then sell the tix (or give them away as part of a diversity scholarship)? | 17:47 |
| SWDevAngel | you'd have to do it way early | 17:47 |
| SWDevAngel | and it's a risk of course | 17:47 |
| fungi | also i think some of our "louder" colleagues may have annoyed other passengers in the same cars | 17:48 |
| SWDevAngel | yeah.... back to that bevvie comment I was making above. I'm sure that played a part! :) | 17:49 |
| spotz | I wnder if we could talk to them ahead of time and maybe arrange something? | 17:50 |
| fungi | diablo_rojo: anyway, depending on whether christine still feels up to making the journey as we get closer to june, i may or may not be up for a slice of a floatplane charter | 17:50 |
| diablo_rojo | fungi, noted! | 17:50 |
| fungi | i would totally do it if i'm travelling on my own | 17:50 |
