NilsMagnus[m]cool, do we have an agenda?13:03
spotzI did not set one but I can update on what I've done13:04
emccormicko/13:04
mihalis68did you start the meeting?13:04
mihalis68is the bot going?13:04
spotzRight before you logged in. And everyone is a chair so you can type the commands13:04
mihalis68ok. I just use free irccloud so I don't have scrollback13:05
emccormickDoing this on my phone atm. Apologies for fat thumbs 13:05
spotz#topic spots's update13:05
spotzThe registration is out ad live 13:06
spotz#link https://www.eventbrite.com/e/openstack-ops-meetup-tickets-32281347278713:06
NilsMagnus[m]my proposals: *) program, *) catering, *) ticket *) t-shirt in any order13:06
mihalis68yes and I've registered!13:06
NilsMagnus[m]Ah, that's good news!13:06
spotzIt has been emailed to the openstack-discuss as well as RDO User list. I also included a reminder for the call for topics and looking at the ethepad we have 1 more13:07
mihalis68for the program i did NOT send out a deadline for people to register nor to vote (+1) topics13:07
mihalis68I was still a bit sick last week but good now13:07
spotzYah I didn't give deadlines just hey you can still add topics13:07
mihalis68how about we just ask people to suggest and vote by end of next week?13:08
spotzSo NilsMagnus[m] that's kind of tickets first:)13:08
mihalis68I had to get a new amex corp card else I can't buy tickets nor travel on business and yep got that done, phew. I can now ask to sponsor breakfast using it13:09
emccormickWe can let the session list simmer. We don't have to print agendas or anything13:09
emccormickIf it's still not populated 13:10
mihalis68I think the concern expressed last week was to have some +1 topics to use as marketing to those not decided on coming13:10
mihalis68who might13:10
spotzmihalis68: Once you have permission send me a logo and I'll have allison add it to the registration page13:10
mihalis68which is reasonable13:10
emccormickI also say that you don't have to buy a ticket to suggest topics. Sometimes we get ideas from folks who can't go13:10
mihalis68they are extremely fussy about use of Bloomberg logo per se. If we can do it just the name of the company in normal font would be easiest13:10
spotzWe can ask13:11
mihalis68we have to be a little careful with topics though. A single-person topic can be an issue. I recall one session in a PTG where we hadn't really vetted it and it seemed to be a misunderstanding of what an ops meetup topic should be13:12
spotzemccormick: I hope no one has gotten that impression but maybe Chris's emails can stress that13:12
NilsMagnus[m]Ok, should we then use the Eventbrite page as our "landing page" for people who might be interested in joining the event? I receive questions about the event all the time and had no answer where to point those folks to13:12
mihalis68I should be able to transplant the most popular topics from the last two meetups as proposed if they are not there and then share some of the discussions those last two times13:13
NilsMagnus[m]Do we have edit rights for the description?13:13
mihalis68I don't think we should meddle with the eventbrite page personally. We can have any number of etherpads13:13
mihalis68there's a planning one for this event, we can make a Q&A section13:13
emccormick+113:14
NilsMagnus[m]yeah, the only thing I'd like to change is to add a link to an authoritative etherpad13:14
mihalis68the eventbrite page is a little sensitive since it links to a system taking money and getting personal info13:14
mihalis68for now the planning etherpad is as authoritative as it ges13:14
mihalis68gets13:14
NilsMagnus[m]So people keep asking me every other day: *) are there topics planned? *) where can I add new topics? *) may I vote? *) how do I get there? *) etc.pp.13:15
NilsMagnus[m]I know where to find this info, but they don't13:16
spotzWe can ask to get a link added, maybe we make a new clean etherpad for a FAQ?13:16
spotzWe can link to the messier ones but give a better first impression13:16
mihalis68ok I'll do an email today explaining the process and then point to it from the twitter notifications account13:16
NilsMagnus[m]Fine with me, but let's try not to confuse people13:16
mihalis68are these colleagues of yours?13:17
mihalis68new to ops meetups?13:17
NilsMagnus[m]most people I spoke to don't use Twitter for such matters (and they're even decreasing after recent news)13:17
emccormickIf you do a more sanitary info etherpad just put the link to the session ethepad right at the top13:17
emccormickWe have a tendency to lose ourselves in a spaghetti of etherpads13:18
mihalis68well the official communications channel used to be the mailing list, but we were getting absolutely zero responses. ZERO13:18
mihalis68the twitter account does a lot better than that13:18
spotzYeah that's why I was thinking of a clean one then a link to the PTG one for the topics vs adding more info there13:18
mihalis68"clean" is the same as empty, sorry, it's not a goal of mine13:19
emccormickAre we on the opeminfra events page yet?13:19
mihalis68this was a very successful event https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/LON-2020-OPS-TOPICS13:19
spotzNo more of a this is the faq, we answer the questions that have been coming up and link to the PTG one for the topics vs having folks scroll through the PTG one13:20
mihalis68FAQ stuff could go here https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Operations/Meetups13:20
NilsMagnus[m]I cleaned up the PTG pad last week and I consider 90% of all information in there to be essential for potential attendees13:21
spotzOh perfect!13:21
mihalis68I haven't seen the PTG pad. Were you responding to me spotz?13:22
NilsMagnus[m]Is there a reason the Ops Meetup planning takes place on a PTG pad? That confused me and several colleagues13:22
spotzmihalis68: Yeah13:22
spotzI didn't think of the wiki13:22
spotzNilsMagnus[m]: Because were were adding topics during the PTG13:22
mihalis68I honestly am not following. We just use openstack etherpads13:22
NilsMagnus[m]Is it okay to migrate it now back to the OMU-pad?13:23
mihalis68can you please explain. I don't understand "PTG pag" nor "OMU-pad"13:23
emccormickMaybe transfer content to something labeled ops meetup?13:23
spotzSure though we'll need to keep an eye on it for any future topics and migrate them as well13:23
mihalis68is OMU "ops meet up?"13:24
NilsMagnus[m]PTG-Pad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/april2022-ptg-openstack-ops (this has currently the most recent, up-to-date-infromation)13:24
emccormickmihalis68: we made the original lad 13:24
emccormickPad during the meeting at PTG13:25
NilsMagnus[m]OMU-pad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ops-meetup-berlin-2022-planning (original planning pad, now with outdated data)13:25
emccormickYou had COVID13:25
mihalis68yeah I have no idea about this. Now I see it's a mess. 13:25
spotz<- not the most organized13:25
emccormickLet's get it all on the non-PTG one 13:25
mihalis68agreed13:26
NilsMagnus[m]My offer: I transfer all OMU2022-related stuff to the original one and delete the stuff in the PTG pag (leaving a link)13:26
NilsMagnus[m]emccormick: Thank You!13:26
mihalis68sounds good13:26
emccormick+113:26
mihalis68erik you went to ptg (virtually)?13:26
emccormickJust that one session13:26
emccormickAnd got knocked off half way through 13:27
emccormickWas doing it from post-hailstorm warzone and lost internet 😉13:27
mihalis68ok so if Nils consolidates I'll volunteer the following: link to the one true planning etherpad from the openstack wiki (linked above) and update it to say the planned events mentioned at the top never happened because of covid and clarify on mailing list and via twitter13:28
mihalis68I do have edit priv on that wiki13:28
mihalis68(e.g. vancouver, south korea)13:28
emccormickI have a phone meeting starting in 1 minute. Will try to keep following. 13:29
mihalis68nils want to ping me when done? mihalis68@gmail.com13:29
NilsMagnus[m]mihalis68: will do13:29
mihalis68excellent thanks. in retrospect so much more alive now than for the past many weeks13:29
mihalis68i am, I mean13:29
emccormickThought that was directed at me 😁13:30
mihalis68maybe a topic should be how to reach operators. Twitter has been better than mailing list, but I share the concern about twitter now13:30
mihalis68there's movements to jump to mastodon or counter.social13:31
NilsMagnus[m]The more channels, the better. I'd just not put all eggs into one single basket (or how do you say that?)13:31
emccormickWe did that a few years ago and that's how we started tweeting. Good time for a refresh.13:32
spotzI'd say make an account and post to both if worried. Everyone was jumping ship from GitHub to GitLab and how many did? Freenode was another story13:32
mihalis68Yeah we don't solely rely on the twitter account, we still try to send stuff to the openstack-discuss mailing list also, but it honesstly feels like there are no operators on it13:34
mihalis68I was right about freenode, though, eh? :)13:34
emccormickIndeed13:35
mihalis68#action nilsmagnus to consolidate topics into one etherpad13:35
spotzI've sent everything to both but can't tell you where people have gotten it from. One reason I also sent to RDO's user list was to get more users13:35
mihalis68#action mihalis68 to spruce up ops meetup wiki and link to the consolidated planning etherpad13:35
mihalis68#mihalis68 to notify the community (via twitter and email) that the planning pad is consolidated and has a FAQ and the event tickets are available (as a reminder)13:36
mihalis68#action mihalis68 to notify the community (via twitter and email) that the planning pad is consolidated and has a FAQ and the event tickets are available (as a reminder)13:36
mihalis68#action mihalis68 to enquire with employer about sponsoring the even breakfast13:37
mihalis68does that cover agreed actions so far?13:37
spotzI think so from today's discussions13:38
mihalis68by the way, I still have a stash of ops meetups stickers from berlin 201813:39
mihalis68somewhere13:39
emccormickAction yourself to buy a plane ticket 13:39
mihalis68will be ironic or something to bring them back to berlin13:39
mihalis68be quiet you13:39
mihalis68:)13:39
spotzAnd a hotel, I've noticed the prices going up13:40
mihalis68yep it's a fair point13:40
mihalis68#topic any other business13:40
spotzNilsMagnus[m]: What food are you ordering for the board meeting?13:41
spotzI know it's the same place but curious13:41
mihalis68given that erik is in a meeting, maybe we should wrap up for now? I am also on-call all this week13:42
spotzok13:42
mihalis68I've got plenty to do and finally have some energy back to do it13:42
mihalis68not against a quick check-in at other times of the week when we have progress (working from home all week)13:43
mihalis68anything else from you nils?13:43
spotzI'm usually about just ping13:43
mihalis68suspect he's looking elsewhere now too.13:43
mihalis68ok thanks all, i'm finallt getting excited about this now!13:44
