ttx#topic 2022 plans15:04
ttxIt's the new year no it's time to reflect on our 2021 activity and make rough plans for 202215:04
ttxRe: 2021 activity, we need to come up with a short entry to include in the Foundation annual report, due next week...15:04
ttxI drafted the following: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/lss-annual-report-202215:04
ttxbelmoreira: let me know if it works for you, feel free to edit or add comments.15:05
ttxRe: 2022 plans, we can discuss a bit15:05
ttxMy personal take is that we should continue participating to OpenInfra Live and aim at the Berlin Summit to promote (and recruit for) the SIG15:05
ttx.. and then correct course15:05
ttxbelmoreira: thoughts?15:06
belmoreiraI was reading it. Looks good to me15:06
ttxwe could also CFP to Berlin, a large scale SIG presentation15:07
ttx"Large Scale SIG: Helping operators running OpenStack at very large scale" or something15:07
belmoreiraThat's cool. But we can try something different...15:08
ttxvery open to ideas15:08
amorinhello!15:09
belmoreiraHow about have like an openinfra live show but "live"15:09
amorinsorry I am late15:09
ttxbelmoreira: we could do that within the Forum maybe15:09
ttxor as a panel presentation15:09
belmoreiranot a presentation, but like a panel and where the audience can ask questions during the "show"15:09
ttxhah, more like a "Ask the Large Scale SIG"?15:10
ttxI like that15:10
ttxIf we can get critical mass in a panel15:10
belmoreiramaybe... I was thinking like having a topic (like we have for the show) and then do it "live"15:10
ttxhmm ok15:11
ttxlet's think a bit more about it between meetings, we have a bit of time to CFP15:11
belmoreiraopeninfra live. but really "live" :)15:11
ttxhaha15:11
belmoreirathe topic would need to be something popular, like something related with upgrades... to engage the audience15:12
ttxok, I think that's a rough first-half 2022 plan right there15:12
ttxAny other ideas before we switch to programming our next OILive episode?15:13
ttx#topic Date and theme for a future OpenInfra Live episode15:14
belmoreiraactually I have :)15:14
ttxah too late15:14
ttx:)15:14
ttxgo ahead15:14
ttx#undo15:14
opendevmeetRemoving item from minutes: #topic Date and theme for a future OpenInfra Live episode15:14
belmoreirafor the openinfra live show we always have a different topic... and invite different people15:15
ttxwe try, at least15:15
belmoreiraanother experience could be to have a episode series... I was thinking to have like the same hosts that are joined by one different operator every episode. And then is like an interview15:16
belmoreirasomething like: "learn from the large scale operators" series15:17
belmoreirajust thinking how we can keep the shoes fresh and a little bit different15:17
ttxok.. s more of a regular hosts + special guest thing?15:17
belmoreirayes15:18
ttxThat would facilitate programming, for sure15:18
ttxalso not a big deal if one of the "regulars" misses one15:18
ttxHow many hosts do you think would work?15:19
belmoreirahonestly I'm thinking more in the pod cast style of a show, than the presentation and some questions between 4, 5 people like we have been doing15:19
ttxOne is too little, 4 is too much15:19
ttxor maybe not)15:20
belmoreiranot convinced that 1 is too little... thinking, learn from bloomberg infrastructure, learn from OVH, ...15:20
belmoreirait can be very interesting15:20
ttxNo I mean, for the regulars15:20
ttxI agree single guest per episode is a great idea15:20
ttxa lot easier to manage15:21
belmoreirabut we would need more schedule time in the openInfra show 15:21
ttxMy question was more: how many "regular hosts" should there be15:21
belmoreiraohh...15:21
belmoreiraI agree... 1 is too little :)15:22
ttxMore than one to get a variety of reactions, but not too many since that may become intimidating15:22
belmoreiramaybe 2 and 3, to keep the conversation flowing15:22
belmoreiraand also contribute with their examples15:22
ttxAlso trying to see ok, I like that15:22
ttxi mean, OK I like that15:22
ttxlet's discuss next episode topic and see if it's too early to do that then15:23
ttx#topic Date and theme for a future OpenInfra Live episode15:23
ttxThe cadence on this start of year for openInfra Live is "every two weeks"15:23
ttxand I'd like to get back to the OILive crew with our next date confirmed15:23
ttxI have two proposed slots: Feb 3 and Feb 1715:23
ttxOn Feb 3 I'll be traveling. I can be around during the show but will likely have little time to coordinate ahead of the show15:24
ttxSo that date works if we have a pretty simple topic, a good idea of who we would invite, etc.15:24
ttxIf we don't really have a slam-dunk topic or it's more complicated, I'd suggest we pick Feb 17, but that's a bit late15:24
belmoreira17 Feb is safer15:25
ttxdefinitely gives us more time, and I don't have a great suggestion15:25
ttxFeb 17 we could try to roll out the new format15:25
ttxgives us plenty of time to find our guest and sign up the hosts15:26
ttxbelmoreira, amorin: do you think that's doable (roll out Belmiro's idea) for Feb 1715:27
amorinhum,15:27
amorinIt's going to be during french holidays (at least part of france)15:27
amorinon my side, I am not yet sure if I will be availalbe at this date15:28
ttxAlternatively... we could just say we do the new format on Feb 3 and invite... Arnaud on the first episode15:29
belmoreirahum... good point, I wasn't considering school holidays15:30
ttxif it's all show regulars I'm less stressed out by the idea of running it while on the road15:30
amorinfeb 3 is ok for me15:30
ttxamorin: could you get a presentation of what your deployment looks like by then, though? belmiro's suggested format starts with a presentation from the guest to seed the conversation15:31
belmoreirayes, 17 Feb doesn't work for me (just checked the school holidays)15:32
ttxOk so we should try to make Feb 3 work15:32
amorinyes I can do that15:32
amorinarchitecture presentation ?15:32
amoringeneral overview of our deployment?15:33
amorinlike, scale, ops, etc?15:33
belmoreirahum... not sure about the presentation15:33
belmoreirado you really think is necessary?15:33
ttxah. I misread your earlier comment15:33
amorinmaybe at least some numbers / architecutr15:34
ttxNo I don;t think it is necessary... just thought that would help seed the discussion15:34
belmoreira(defenetely not a fan of presentations)15:34
amorinto let the audiance know what we are talking about15:34
amorinit could be done in 1 slide :)15:34
amorineven by talking15:34
belmoreiraif at the begining we have an open question like "tell me about OVH?"15:34
ttxbelmoreira: if you think the hosts can pull off a full hour of Q&A with a single guest, let's do it15:35
belmoreiraI guess we have material for all the episode :)15:35
amorin"tell me about ovh" --> that could work15:35
amorinwe should prepare the questions , to make sure I have proper answers :)15:35
ttxre: hosts i would pick among regulars -- ideally Belmiro would always be there as an anchor, and then we could add genekuo, mnaser, amorin... based on availability15:36
belmoreirafor sure we need to "sink" before to not go though an unwanted path15:36
ttxbelmoreira: my concern is that without any visual aid it can be a bit dry for the least operational part of the audience15:36
ttxbut I can see how that can make tings worse too15:37
ttxespecially with... some guests15:37
ttxlast thing we want is some promo slides that go in the way of our "ops" tonme15:37
ttxtone15:37
belmoreirathis is experimentation... if it doesn't work we can always change it15:37
ttxI'm up for trying conversational style15:38
ttxOK so, rough plan: let's book Feb 3, with a plan to do OVHCloud special. We need a title that captures the new format, like "Ops deep dive" or "Ask Ops Anything"15:40
ttxI'll reach out to gene and mnaser to check for availability to be co-hosts on this one15:40
amorinok15:40
belmoreiraI like the "Ops deep dive"15:40
belmoreirawith xxx15:40
ttxTo add a bit of diversity I might also ask Marie if she would be interested, as the only female Large Scale SIG regular attendant15:41
ttx(in being a co-host)15:42
ttxand we can reconvene in two weeks to finalize this plan15:42
ttxdoes that work?15:42
amorinyes15:42
belmoreiralooks good15:42
amorinI might not be avaialble in 2 weeks15:42
amorinbut I'll catch the records later15:42
ttx(I like the no-presentation, only regular attendees" option for Feb 3, since that will be pretty simple to pull off)15:43
amorinI'll do my best15:43
ttxwe can sync by email between teh three of us. Just officialize the plan during the meeting15:43
ttxok, let's wrap this meeting15:44
ttx#topic Large Scale Journey updates15:44
ttx#link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Large_Scale_SIG15:44
