[OpenStack Foundation] Personal news & see you in Denver
by Lauren Sell 23 Mar '19

23 Mar '19

Hi everyone, I have bittersweet news. After 9 years working with the OpenStack community, it’s time for the next chapter in my career. I’ll be wrapping up my work at the Foundation over the coming weeks, but the good news is that we’ve built a strong bench at the Foundation to continue executing on our mission! This community means so much to me, and I’ve enjoyed this job and working with all of you more than I can express. We spend a significant amount of our lives working, which is why I feel so fortunate to love my work and the people I work with. And from Snowden to Snowpenstack, it definitely hasn’t been boring! I can’t emphasize enough how this is a true community. It’s not just open source code. It’s not just a bunch of logos on a slide. It’s a group of people who have built an incredible platform and culture of collaboration. We’ve had some really amazing wins and some tough days, but we’ve been in it together and have made such a huge impact on the industry. Most of all, I’m proud that we’ve always gone high and stuck to our values, even when others try to tear us down. I’m FULLY invested in and passionate about this community and will do everything in my power to continue contributing and supporting everyone. In fact, I will be at the Denver Summit to cheer everyone on and help where I can, so please say hi and selfishly come celebrate my birthday with me on Tuesday the 30th :) Going forward, if you need anything from the Foundation marketing team, please reach out to marketing(a)openstack.org to reach Wes Wilson, Allison Price and others. And of course Jonathan and Mark are always available to help with anything. Thank you again for all of your work, your support, your friendship. If we don’t catch up in Denver, I’m always a phone call or DM or email away. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! All the best, Lauren Personal contact info: email: laurenenis(a)gmail.com cell: 713-398-8700 Twitter: @laurensell Wechat: laurenlynsell

[OpenStack Foundation] establishing channel for optional feedback re: pilot projects
by Mohammed Naser 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Hi everyone, Jonathan reached out on IRC a few days ago regarding the idea of soliciting optional feedback regarding pilot projects that are up for confirmation. I'd like us to establish some sort of framework around doing this. http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/%23openstack-tc.2019… How can we proceed in the next steps in making this happen? Thanks, Mohammed -- Mohammed Naser — vexxhost ----------------------------------------------------- D. 514-316-8872 D. 800-910-1726 ext. 200 E. mnaser(a)vexxhost.com W. http://vexxhost.com

[OpenStack Foundation] March 5, 2019 Board Meeting
by Jonathan Bryce 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

Today the OpenStack Foundation Board of Directors held a teleconference meeting. The agenda was posted on the wiki beforehand[1]. The bulk of the meeting was spent discussing the confirmation guidelines[2] for new Open Infrastructure Projects under the Foundation. Allison Randal led the Board through a review of the process by which the guidelines were drafted and their current state. The Board unanimously approved the guidelines. In addition to the guidelines themselves, the Board also discussed some procedural items around meeting and reviewing projects for confirmation. The Board agreed to add an additional meeting prior to the Denver Summit to do an initial review of any projects that may be seeking confirmation. The Board also discussed whether there was a need to include an executive session discussion as part of each project review. There was not a formal vote on the executive session issue, but a straw vote seemed to indicate that most Board members felt that they would not want to schedule an executive session for every project review, but did want to retain the ability for a Board member to request one if needed. The Bylaws of the Foundation[3] do not currently allow for that as a valid reason to have an executive session (section 4.16), so that will require an additional step to update to allow that as an option. Big thanks to Allison Randal for managing the process of creating the guidelines and helping us to pass another milestone as we seek to support more open infrastructure collaboration! Next, Alan presented a report from the Compensation Committee for review and feedback from the full Board. Finally Prakash discussed community building efforts in India and proposed a meeting around the topic during the upcoming Summit in Denver.

[OpenStack Foundation] [Diversity] Open Communities Call on Allies
by Amy Marrich 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Forwarding for anyone who might be interested. Thanks, Amy (spotz) ---------- Forwarded message --------- Hi Amy I wonder if you would share the link to our D&I in Open Communities Call (this Thur), the topic is 'Every day actions to be a better ally' , and I have heard from a lot of people that a topic on allies is critical, but not 100% how to reach potential allies. Here is the RSVP link <https://events.mozilla.org/everydayactionstobeabetterally>. Also FYI I mentioned OpenStack <https://blog.mozilla.org/internetcitizen/2019/03/04/open-source-inclusion/> in this article I wrote to accompany the IRL podcast (What if women built the internet <https://irlpodcast.org/season4/episode7/>), I hope it represents your work accurately. Thank you! -- Emma Irwin (she/her) Community Development Open Innovation Team
