SWDevAngel__oops sorry. Messed up that syntax! 😜20:05
spotzhehe20:05
spotzI've got a rather short agenda as I didn't realize I was running the meeting until yesterday20:05
spotz#topic Feedback on IRC meetings?20:06
*** openstack changes topic to "Feedback on IRC meetings? (Meeting topic: women_of_openstack)"20:06
SWDevAngel__No worries. I wanted to ask about the Diversity Working Group (ironically, this is probably one of those agenda items that was better suited for the live phone call meeting) ....20:06
SWDevAngel__I think to be fair (to the IRC meeting format) we shouldn't only use last meeting as the measuring stick. Many people were on vacation.20:07
annabelleBand it will take a while to transition :)20:07
annabelleBI vote to use it for a few months, at least through mid-March so it’s after another PTG, and see how it goes20:07
SWDevAngel__We had fewer people than normal and I felt like the meeting took longer to accomplish what we could have done in half that time on the phone. Plus - I missed the phone personalities that come through, and no so much on text. But I agree we need more time to really assess. :)20:08
spotzSWDevAngel__: Yeah that's why I have possibly cancelling the next meeting on th agenda20:09
SWDevAngel__Yes. Next meeting would be 12/11. Close to the holidays.20:09
spotzAnd erindisney I'd like to hit you up to maybe send out an email to women attendees at summit to invite them to join?20:10
annabelleBwe could regroup post-holidays. maybe kick off by tackling the action items that came out of the WOO luncheon20:10
SWDevAngel__So - rollcall, is it just you, me, Anne, Erin today? Anyone else?20:10
spotzSWDevAngel__: I think so20:10
annabelleBspotz: erindisney that’s a great idea. diablo_rojo and i were talking it up at the lunch, but a follow up would be great20:10
erindisneyYes absolutely, I know I talked to several women in Sydney that hadn't attended a meeting and needed to join the mailing list20:10
annabelleBmaybe just the people who came to the lunch though, rather than all women20:11
erindisneylove that idea20:11
SWDevAngel__Okay - that's even less than last meeting. Probably the holidays have more to do with it than the IRC medium, but still... let's track it.20:11
spotzWell some of the feedback I got in my group was that we need to do those attendee blasts as many folks didn't know they were considered a WoO20:11
SWDevAngel__That always surprises me. That someone would NOT think they were a WoO. As if it's some exclusive membership that you have to apply for. So yes, more awareness is good! :)20:12
spotzSo we definitely have a wider audience then on the mailing list. Well the technical people didn't feel like part of the group cause of the phone meetings, sales and marketing folks don't think their part of the group at summit, etc20:13
SWDevAngel__Well, we're now on IRC. Where are those technical peeps!?!?? ;)20:13
SWDevAngel__(other than us of course. :)20:14
*** eeiden has joined #openstack-women20:14
annabelleBIt’ll take time, and if we get some great content going, people will come back20:14
spotzSWDevAngel__: We need to blast again, with the first meeting being right after summit I didn't blast out and well I barely mailed for this one20:14
SWDevAngel__Ironically, now that we're on IRC we might lose Beth, who was one of our most techy folks on the call!20:14
spotzIt's a hard call because as an OpenStack group we should have been on IRC since the start20:15
SWDevAngel__I'm only sort of kidding... I do think we need a few meetings that are NOT over the holidays to really assess it.20:15
StaceyFHi everyone,  StaceyF here, I'm doing CICD for the openstack-helm project20:15
annabelleBhi StaceyF! nice, i’m super excited about ohelm!20:15
spotzHey StaceyF welcome!20:16
SWDevAngel__Hi StaceyF20:16
* SWDevAngel__ waves20:16
StaceyF:)20:16
annabelleBi think diablo_rojo is still on vacation for the mentoring update…do we want to move to the diversity working group update?20:17
SWDevAngel__yes please20:17
spotzBut yeah let's give it a few meetings, we'll most likely cancel the rest of the year and do an email blast to attendees (maybe include any early PTG registrants as well)20:17
spotzOk ok:)20:17
spotz#topic Diversity WG20:17
*** openstack changes topic to "Diversity WG (Meeting topic: women_of_openstack)"20:17
spotzOk o I'm getting the band back together as they say20:18
spotzI don't think we need to formally aplly to be rechartered and if we do I'll work on that this weekend20:18
spotzJoin #openstack-diversity and the foundation@mailing list20:18
spotzThis weel I hope to put a doodle to a meeting scheduled and hoepfully this week we'll get the bot back on channel20:19
spotzCan't type when I'm cold apparently:)20:20
SWDevAngel__Okay. Sounds like things are moving. I'll get on that mailing list.20:20
*** aprice___ has quit IRC20:21
spotzYeah besides gauging interest to see if we should restart I haven't moved forward due to the holidays and a deadline. But I'm hoping we can get one meeting in before the end of the year.20:21
spotzI also don't want to have good conversations on the channel and lose them due to no logging20:21
spotzI'll poke in infra channel see if I can't get another +2 and a workflow20:22
spotzerindisney: Would you be a good contact to get a hold of the old stuff? I can try to get it off my saved email box but new computer/company/etc20:23
spotzOh fungi also gave me some elevated permissions for this channel and diversity if we have any issues20:24
SWDevAngel__Okay - how come I can never find the link to join the mailing lists from the openstack.org site? Where am I supposed to be looking (I know I find them eventually but can never remember how I get there!)20:25
spotzlists.openstack.org20:25
SWDevAngel__Okay. I will post that on the etherpad also.20:25
spotzAfter the meeting I'll put the links to the meeting logs there:)20:25
SWDevAngel__Ummm... is it just me? Or....  I don't see the Diversity WG as an option on that mailing list list20:26
spotzfoundation mailing list20:27
erindisneyspotz: Ping me after this so I understand exactly what you are needing on that front20:27
spotzI think because the WG falls under the board we just used that one20:27
spotzerindisney: Will do, mainly looking for the old survey and results20:27
SWDevAngel__Oh. 😐 It's likely that I'm already on that one, but I'll apply again just in case.20:28
spotzAnything else we want to touch on for that?20:28
annabelleBdoesn’t sound like it :)20:30
SWDevAngel__Okay - I've applied. We'll see if @jbryce and @sparkycollier approve it! 😂20:30
spotzFoundation not the board one:)20:30
SWDevAngel__That's who it said runs it.20:31
spotzAhh20:31
spotzOk so does anyone feel like we shouldn't cancel the December meetings and start fresh with the new year?20:31
SWDevAngel__So unless they have an "auto approve" set up I'm awaitin' on their "blessings" 😂20:32
spotzI don't think we need an official vote/poll for cancelling20:32
SWDevAngel__I'm cool with cancelling. I'm pretty slammed in Dec and then travel, so, yeah...20:32
spotzGoing once...20:32
spotzGoing twice...20:33
spotzGoing three times....20:33
SWDevAngel__😂20:33
spotzOk meetings cancelled for December:)20:33
spotz#topice Open Discussion20:34
spotz#topic Open Discussion20:34
*** openstack changes topic to "Open Discussion (Meeting topic: women_of_openstack)"20:34
spotzhelps if you don't typo:) Anyone have anything they want to discuss?20:34
annabelleBthe notes that came out of the summit luncheon were close to becoming tangible things we could do as part of WOO20:34
annabelleBdo we have any idea of how we want to take those from discussion notes to assigned action items?20:35
annabelleB(and maybe this is part of january, or december “homework” that we all bring to the january meeting)20:35
spotzannabelleB: Do you have a link to them all? I don't and we tried to discuss them last week20:35
annabelleBspotz: lemme look20:35
spotzannabelleB: Sweet20:35
SWDevAngel__Are the notes published on an Etherpad? If anyone has the link, it would be handy to post it. :)20:35
* SWDevAngel__ yes - what she said (she types faster than me. ;)20:36
annabelleByup, two seconds, digging digging20:36
spotzThere were lots of take aways(todos) from my group including email blasts with help from erindisney and having the friendly faces meetups at the start of summit/ptg20:36
annabelleBhttps://etherpad.openstack.org/p/WOS_Sydney_Networking_Lunch20:36
SWDevAngel__+1 on the friendly faces. that keeps coming up20:36
spotzSWDevAngel__: Yeah they weren't on the main etherpad from the event so couldn't find them20:37
SWDevAngel__annabelleB is OSSUM!20:37
SWDevAngel__thanks!20:37
spotzI just stopped when it got swallowed up by speed mentoring in Austin20:37
spotz#link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/WOS_Sydney_Networking_Lunch20:37
spotzBut friendly faces and maybe the greeters as well should be revidited in Vancouver and depending on who's going Dublin20:38
annabelleBwhere there things about past friendly faces that should be changed to make it more effective before it’s reimplemented? It seemed like it slowly went away—want to meet the demand but take out the things that weren’t working20:39
spotzFriendly faces really just needs a meeting place, maybe with some chairs and coffee20:40
spotzannabelleB: We held it in Tokyo have some folks attend, Austin it got swallowed up and maybe we didn't advertise it as well or at all?20:40
spotzIt was really just a way to have folks meetup and get to know atleast one other person. I did it less informally at Google I/O and it was a hit for the other first time conference goers20:41
annabelleBI wonder if “mobile friendly faces” would be effective…The point is to be able to identify someone you can ask questions to, get to know, etc, right? Maybe there’s some sort of identifier that signals that you’re a WOO Friendly Face?20:42
SWDevAngel__We did a REALLY informal version in Barcelona and literally just greeted women at registration and handed out fliers of all the events, and stickers. It worked pretty well.20:42
amrithoink?20:43
spotzannabelleB: SWDevAngel__ That was the original thought of the greeters which wasn't just for women but came out of some feedback at the last Diversity WG session in Austin20:43
spotzannabelleB: You mean like at Open Source Summit? I signed up but thought that was a little creeepy to be honest20:44
annabelleBOh were there special people there? I didn’t notice…20:44
annabelleB(and should have been a target ;) )20:44
SWDevAngel__We put the big WOO stickers on the front of people's badges. It worked well enough. A bunch of people pointed people to me for questions. I kept hearing "so-in-so told me to come find you" (mostly from the male advocates who I jammed stickers into the FRONT of their badges). Everyone wanted to know where they got those. It worked. :)20:44
spotzannabelleB: It was an app and you could 'swipe' to meet folks....20:44
* SWDevAngel__ in barca that is20:44
annabelleBspotz: oh no no, that app was awful. more like what SWDevAngel__ is talking about20:45
spotzSWDevAngel__:  Yeah so that was the greeters program:)20:45
spotzannabelleB:  ^20:45
annabelleBThe role of a greeter, but keeping it throughout the week with some sort of thing that yells “Approach Me, I’m Approachable”20:45
SWDevAngel__oh yeah - sorry - I always mix those two thigns20:45
SWDevAngel__things20:45
annabelleBversus doing a sit down meetup just once during the week20:46
spotzannabelleB: So we originally talked about thirts, scarves, etc. But then it became set greeter times and locations20:46
SWDevAngel__Beth, Nithya, and I took the greeter thing to another level... we kept it going and I was literally walking around with stickers, Beth with flyers, for the first two days. We met a lot of people who didn't know about WOO before.20:46
spotzI usually attach my mentor hat to my backpack so folks can find and flag me down20:46
annabelleBSWDevAngel__: that sounds like it worked really well20:46
SWDevAngel__Scarves is a cool idea20:46
SWDevAngel__yes, it worked well in Barca because we had the LARGE woo stickers. the ones in Syd were so cute (and great for laptops and phones) but a bit small to really stand out on a badge20:47
spotzSO greeters definitely sounds like worth doing again and try to get a BIG identifier for folks walking around. Friedly Faces is something smaller either the night before or morning of the first day20:48
annabelleBSo sounds like we need to 1) pick some WOO ambassadors for Vancouver 2) give you lots of stickers and some info20:48
annabelleBwe could leave it up to the WOO Vancouver ambassadors to organize the FF meeting :)20:48
spotzannabelleB: Yeah alot of folks didn't know there were WoO stickers at the Foundation area, and as much as I was there they weren't out all the time either20:48
annabelleBmore stickers. check.20:49
spotzI do love my vanagon stickers:)20:49
SWDevAngel__+1 on more stickers. :)20:49
spotzSo we definitely have more then a few things to bring back/implement from the working lunch20:50
annabelleByeah, there were some good meeting content ideas in there. I particularly liked the one about the various career paths you can take, and how to not get thrown in a managerial track if you don’t want that20:50
spotzAnd I think if we ask for volunteers to help it might help increase membership/attendance. We seem to have bigger meetings when we're planning stuff20:50
spotz9 minute warning20:51
SWDevAngel__Here's a random question. Does anyone know anyone in the Chicago area who would like to take over that user group? Joe stepped down, and we stepped in just to save the group but we don't have any Ambassadors in the area and are looking for someone local that we can transfer it to.20:52
spotzSWDevAngel__: I can ask around. I know I've talked to aprice about maybe helping the Austin group out it wasn't very OpenStacky when I went:(20:53
spotzonly so many hours in the day though:(20:54
SWDevAngel__Great. And YES, Austin is another group on life support. Maybe you should take it over. ;)20:54
SWDevAngel__Yes I know. Believe me, I know! ;)20:54
SWDevAngel__Trying to start up the Tampa group also. I think I have someone to run it, and now Shilla is our East Coast Ambassador so hopefully she can help it get some life.20:55
apriceHave we put anything on the community ML about the Chicago opening?20:55
spotzAfter my deadline I'll reach out to Allison and see about maybe an i nformal event to get folks together and go from there20:55
SWDevAngel__John Studarus and I are trying to "franchise" some of what we do in California, to help out some of the other geos that don't have as many resources.20:55
spotzSWDevAngel__: Sounds like a repo or something that can be shared?20:56
spotz4 minute warning not that there's another meeting behind us on the channel:)20:56
SWDevAngel__@aprice I found out about it from that email that went around, so I posted it on our Ambassadors Slack Channel. John and Stacy saw it and stepped in. John will hold it until we can transfer it.20:57
apriceyeah, I was thinking that if we wanted someone to step in for the user group coordinator position, we could open it up to the community, knowing that John is only planning to manage temporarily20:58
SWDevAngel__@spotz yes, we're working on that. First we're trying to organize a list of all the CURRENT and ACTIVE user group leaders, as part of the Ambassador program. That will help us get these things organizes. Sonia is helping (from Oz) and we're trying to keep this all on Lauren's radar. :)20:58
* diablo_rojo_phon sneaks in late20:58
SWDevAngel__@aprice I think Lauren has an open rec for that. Sonia is doing her best and we're trying to help. :)20:59
* diablo_rojo_phon needs to update calendar meetings with new daylight savings times..20:59
spotzdiablo_rojo_phon: You're just a bum admit it!:)20:59
diablo_rojo_phonThat too.21:00
diablo_rojo_phonAnd very very jetlagged.21:00
ekhugensorry I was totally thinking this meeting started at 421:00
SWDevAngel__No worries. Hi everyone!21:01
* SWDevAngel__ waves... goodbye...21:01
apriceSWDevAngel_: yeah, all of the help is greatly appreciated. Hopefully we will be able to identify someone soon :)21:01
SWDevAngel__Yes, good luck. And yes, putting it on the community ML would be awesome! :)21:01
spotzAnd on the plus side, they probably weren't having a meeting in December?:)21:02
SWDevAngel__They've had like ONE over the past year. It's been pretty sparse21:02
spotzhey ekhugen21:02
spotzOk yeah so a list of which user groups are out there and their status would probably be a good place to start, maybe even before reaching out to the community in case there are others?21:03
SWDevAngel__Our next two meetups will be GREAT btw, if any of you are in the SF Bay Area. We're at VMware this Wednesday. Dustin Kirkland (Ubuntu) will speak about openstack, containers, and maximizing dev potential. We're live streaming it if you can't make it in person. Check our meetup page. THEN in Dec we have Randy Bias speaking about DevOps and SaaP. Gonna be a good one too! :) Come hang with us! :) :) :)21:03
ekhugensounds cool!21:04
SWDevAngel__@spotz yep - that's on our Ambassador agenda. :)21:04
spotzI've still go the log running if ekhugen or diablo_rojo_phon have a mentoring update?:)21:04
ekhugenI don’t, I was going to ask how the speed mentoring session in sydney went?21:04
diablo_rojo_phonIt's definitely time for some more one month check instead.21:04
diablo_rojo_phon*Ins21:04
diablo_rojo_phonThey are on the Todo list with everything else from the summit.21:05
ekhugendiablo_rojo_phon would you like me to help with those?21:05
spotzI checked with mine after summit, she hadn't installed OpenStack yet. Her goal is to learn ops and get certified21:05
diablo_rojo_phonekhugen: had a decent turn out. A lot of other people ended up setting up camp in the room though since there was lunch in it.b21:05
diablo_rojo_phonekhugen: would love the help if you have the time :)21:06
spotzekhugen: Yeah we had folks eating lunch and only maybe half of the mentees showed up?21:06
spotzThose that did I think had some good mentoring:)21:06
ekhugenaww, that’s disappointing, but good that there were at least some connections made?21:06
diablo_rojo_phonTons of mentors though which was nice.21:06
diablo_rojo_phonYes definitely made some good connections.21:07
spotzDefintely worth doing again in Vancouver21:07
ekhugendiablo_rojo_phon just send out an email to all the people on the list for queens_matches? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jsS3HJgwWU8K28i3QwDIghaaLM2v5mbCXV8A5WlhZDE/edit#gid=1256566342 since we haven’t checked in with them in awhile?21:07
diablo_rojo_phonYeah that works. I know there are a dozen or so that this would be the first check in. So, so long as there isn't any specific wording around that it should be fine.21:09
ekhugenokay, I’ll get that sent in the next few days21:09
diablo_rojo_phonThank you!21:10
ekhugenyw!  get some rest and recover from jetlag!21:10
spotzOk anyone have anything else for this meeting? Otherwise I'm going to end the logging for the meeting21:11
diablo_rojo_phonI don't think so.21:13
SWDevAngel__Oh yay! jbryce's bot accepted my list request! 😂21:13
