[Openstack-operators] OpenStack "S" Release Naming Preliminary Results

2018-03-21 Thread Paul Belanger
Hello all!

We decided to run a public poll this time around, we'll likely discuss the
process during a TC meeting, but we'd love the hear your feedback.

The raw results are below - however ...

**PLEASE REMEMBER** that these now have to go through legal vetting. So 
it is too soon to say 'OpenStack Solar' is our next release, given that previous
polls have had some issues with the top choice.

In any case, the names will been sent off to legal for vetting. As soon 
as we have a final winner, I'll let you all know.

[Openstack-operators] [forum] We want your session ideas for the Vancouver Forum!

2018-03-21 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hey everyone,

Please take time to put ideas for sessions at the forum in the TC and/or UC
catch-all etherpads or any of the others that are appropriate:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Forum/Vancouver2018

We really want to get as many session ideas as possible so that the
committee has too many to choose from :)

Here is an idea of the types of sessions to think about proposing:

*Project-specific sessions*

Where developers can ask users specific questions about their experience,
users can provide feedback from the last release and cross-community
collaboration on the priorities and 'blue sky' ideas for the next release
can occur.

*Strategic, whole-of-community discussions*

To think about the big picture, including beyond just one release cycle and
new technologies

*Cross-project sessions*

In a similar vein to what has happened at past design summits, but with
increased emphasis on issues that are of relevant to all areas of the
community


If you have organized any events in the past year you probably have heard
of or been in some sessions that are perfect for the Forum.

Kind regards,

Right, I think the key difference between the PTG and Forum is that one
is a work event for engaged contributors that are part of a group
spending time on making OpenStack better, while the other is a venue for
engaging with everyone in our community.

The PTG format is really organized around work groups (whatever their
focus is), enabling them to set their short-term goals, assign work
items and bootstrap the work. The fact that all those work groups are
co-located make it easy to participate in multiple groups, or invite
other people to join the discussion where it touches their area of
expertise, but it's still mostly a venue for our
geographically-distributed workgroups to get together in person and get
work done. That's why the agenda is so flexible at the PTG, to maximize
the productivity of attendees, even if that can confuse people who can't
relate to any specific work group.

The Forum format, on the other hand, is organized around specific
discussion topics where you want to maximize feedback and input. Forum
sessions are not attached to a specific workgroup or team, they are
defined by their topic. They are well-advertised on the event schedule,
and happen at a precise time. It takes advantage of the thousands of
attendees being present to get the most relevant feedback possible. It
allows to engage beyond the work groups, to people who can't spend much
time getting more engaged and contribute back.

The Ops meetup under its current format is mostly work sessions, and
those would fit pretty well in the PTG event format. Ideally I would
limit the feedback-gathering sessions there and use the Forum (and
regional events like OpenStack days) to collect it. That sounds like a
better way to reach out to "all users" and take into account their
feedback and needs...
