[openstack-community] [Ambassador] Continuing our discussion on-list
by Tom Fifield 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi Ambassadors (and interested friends), It's time to continue our discussions of yore on the mailing list, as promised. Attached is Colin's brainstorming diagram, and below is the text mentioned that "Tom has". One of the first things we need to work out is how we're going to manage comms. Suggestions so far have been: * an ambassador@...openstack... alias that goes to every ambassador ** This could be implemented using a new mailing list, or perhaps by making a queue on the existing support ticket system * regional aliases (ambassador-{apac, eu, us}@...openstack...), that ambassadors in those regions can use in preference to their personal email address when listing on websites, and share the load between multiple ambassadors * ... Regards, Tom Problems: * The lack of a defined communications structure results in a lack of information coming from the communities – be it feedback from users, requests for assistance or content, promotion of local deployments and activities, adoption rates etc * User Group leaders are not supported to promote the aims of the foundation and OpenStack * Many User Groups are at low levels of maturity, which can result in a poor experience for attendees * There is only a small facility for community leaders to participate with their global counterparts Objectives: 1. Creation of structured communication between the Foundation, global OpenStack community and the members and associates of user groups worldwide, providing insight into regional activity while spreading key messages 2. Increased amount of contributors to activities related to localisation, such as translation 3. Increased quality of user groups 4. Increased accessibility of participation in governance activities 5. A gained understanding of user group funding needs, with increased ability to provision funds where most impact is seen 6. Increased adoption of OpenStack, and strengthening of the OpenStack brand

[openstack-community] Northern England OpenStack Meetup?
by Jolyon Brown 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hi Would anyone be interested in an OpenStack meet up type er.. thing somewhere in the North of England? There is the London group which meets now and again, but that's the other end of the country for me (North East based). I'm thinking Leeds as a centralish point on the map but open to suggestions. (As you may be able to tell I haven't given this much thought at all but was really just looking to gauge interest). Regards Jolyon Brown jolyon(a)limilo.com

[openstack-community] OpenStack Groups Portal -- Status Update
by Stefano Maffulli 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello all, we've been working with Marton Kiss on a new portal for User Groups around the world. The scope of the portal is to improve discoverability of groups, leaders, speakers and to better highlight activities within the groups themselves. The portal was briefly demoed in Hong Kong and I think it's time to send a more comprehensive update of the status of the project. Marton is working on completing the Openstack theming, as there are still some minor theming bugs and he's working on the adaptive design. Other small details missing are the map in the home page and a simple group search field that helps visitors to find the nearby user groups. Before we release an alpha we also want to have a simple way for people to add content via git/gerrit, like the Organizer Tips (what now is on the wiki, UserGroupsHowTo). Before we to release alpha on groups.openstack.org, we need to prepare the infrastructure manifests to include git tag based deployment and module upgrade feature without database cleanup (currently the staging always produces a clean deployment to avoid content or module level errors caused by previous testing version). The final version of the User Groups Portal will need to use the OpenID provider being developed at the Foundation. That's a different project for which I'll send a status update later (short version: it's still not publicly available). As soon as we'll have an alpha version of the UG Portal we'll be able to start thinking about aggregating in it data coming from meetup.com and other sources. For example, Marton already found a module to integrate meetup.org (https://drupal.org/project/meetup_events) the author of that module is a member of the Openstack community, and he offered us a help to integrate this module into the community portal, and extend the module based on our requests. (community power seems to be working here :) Marton is also doing an amazing job reaching out to the Drupal community at large, to let them know about our effort and to show off the integration we've done with Gerrit/Jenkins for CI/CD. Pretty good example of why choosing open source tools for our infrastructure is a good thing. If you want to start getting familiar with the upcoming portal check out the development site http://groups-dev.openstack.org/ and the git repository http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/groups. Marton is mrkiss on IRC, I'm reed if you have any questions. Cheers, stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org
