[OpenStack Foundation] August 6 community meeting on Foundation strategy & planning
by Jonathan Bryce 31 Jul '20

31 Jul '20

Hi everyone, As we celebrate 10 years of OpenStack, we have spent some time thinking about what the next 10 years will look like and what we as a foundation can do to continue to drive adoption of free and open source software for digital infrastructure. The Board has had a couple of discussions at its meetings earlier this year and a workgroup has continued those meetings this summer. We have some ideas that I think are exciting about our future opportunities and structuring ourselves to continue our mission. This will be a topic at the Board meeting next month on August 25th, and we would like to gather some community feedback before the 25th. I want to invite you all to join a community meeting Thursday August 6th where we can share our thoughts and hear feedback from everyone. Aug 6, 2020 at 1500UTC / 10:00 CDT / 8:00 PDT Location: https://zoom.us/j/98921061129 Thanks, Jonathan

[OpenStack Foundation] October/November PTG Date Selection
by Kendall Waters 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

Hello Everyone! We wanted to get your input on the best dates for holding the PTG now that its been annouced that the Summit itself will be virtual[1]. Please fill out the CIVS poll by August 3 at 15:00 UTC. We really appreicate your feedback! Poll: https://civs.cs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/vote.pl?id=E_a69944444a9b7c93&akey=3ecc… <https://civs.cs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/vote.pl?id=E_a69944444a9b7c93&akey=3ecc…> There are obviously many pros and cons to each option, below are the conflicts/reasons why we might not want to select that option. Option 0 - Two weeks before Summit (October 5-9) Conflicts with RC work External Event Conflicts: None? Option 1 - One week after Summit (October 26-30) Halloween on Oct 31 Perfect for release timing but event fatigue is a real concern External Event Conflicts: Open Source Summit EU, ODSC Open Data Science Conference East Cloud Foundry Summit EU, KVM Forum Option 2 - Two weeks after the Summit (November 2-6) USA Election day on Nov 3; could be a distraction, contributors needing to go vote (whatever that looks like with the virus), news, etc. Event Conflicts: None? Option 3 - Three weeks after the Summit (November 9-13) Pushes far into the cycle (4 weeks after previous release, a bit late, Veterns day/holiday - may affect France and Germany and US) External Events Conflicts: VMWorld EU -The Kendalls (diablo_rojo & wendallkaters) [1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-July/016068.html <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-July/016068.html>
