[openstack-community] Groups Portal Discontinuation
by Ashlee Ferguson 27 Jun '20

27 Jun '20

Hi everyone, I think most of you are aware that we’ve launched a Meetup Pro account <https://www.meetup.com/pro/osf/> so we could take on the cost of Meetup from the local organizers. We currently have 16 official User Groups on the page. As of the third week of April, the groups.openstack.org <http://groups.openstack.org/> portal will be discontinued. We’d like to take this opportunity to start an initiative to move all User Groups <https://groups.openstack.org/groups> over to the Meetup Pro account for a single point of truth. This will increase discoverability for groups, and help us better support community growth. In light of the feedback we’ve received from you all, we’ll encourage groups to have at least 4 meetups per year (one meetup per quarter) going forward as a minimum requirement for being in the Meetup Pro network. However, we realize that circumstances that might prevent you from having meetups happen. In that case, please feel free to reach out directly to me. We really want to work with you all to make sure our community is supported so it can continue growing. User Group 6 Month Trial We’ll be offering a 6 month trial period, where the Foundation will temporarily sponsor groups to be on the Pro account (which costs USD $15/month per group). We’ve previously required groups to have at least 5-6 meetups per year in order to be funded, but If the group has at least 2 independent meetups during this 6 month period, we will continue funding the group to be a part of the official network. If groups fail to host meetups, and do not contact me, the funding will be discontinued and it won’t be visible on the Foundation’s official community network. Next Steps If you are the main organizer of your group, email me (ashlee(a)openstack.org), and I’ll send a link to connect your Meetup account to our Foundation Meetup Pro network. If you don’t have a Meetup account, and you do not wish to use Meetup.com <http://meetup.com/>, please send me the link to your group’s page, or let me know how you coordinate meetups. Thanks so much for your patience as we make this move! Reach out to me if you have any questions. Ashlee Ashlee Ferguson OpenStack Foundation ashlee(a)openstack.org

[openstack-community] Slide Decks, Speakers, and Logos!
by Ashlee Ferguson 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hi everyone, I hope everyone’s year is off to a great start and that your first quarter meetups have gone well or are in the works! I wanted to share a couple of updates for this upcoming year. We’ve attached a slide deck[1] that includes updates on all of the OSF-supported projects, as well as our 2020 strategy and other significant updates. Please use this as a resource, and present all or some of this deck in your meetups as you see fit. If you think there is content that we should include that would resonate better with your community, please let me know. Need speakers for your event? We’ve gathered this list of speakers[2] who have either submitted or presented at a Summit, and are willing to present at meetups as well. This list also includes the titles of their presentations to help narrow your search. The Speakers Bureau[3] is also a great place to search for speakers. You can now also search by zip code! Branding! Our amazing design team has created banners for your Meetup pages. You are not required to use these, but if you notice that your header image might be out of date, it might be time for a change. Changing images can also be a little confusing, so we’ve created a branding guide[4] to help you out. You can find links to the banners[5] folder below. If you need access to your general logo folder, or need new logos, please let me know. Looking ahead... This year in July, OpenStack will be celebrating its 10th birthday! We’ll have the usual celebrations in July, but since 10 years is a big deal, we want to make this year extra special, so more information on that will be coming soon! Let me know if you have any questions!
