[openstack-community] OpenInfra User Groups
by Helena Spease 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

Hello everyone! At the OpenInfra Summit in early June, I hosted a Forum around user groups and OpenInfra Days. We had a great discussion on numerous topics regarding the state of user groups. Please see etherpad for details [1] One of the larger topics we discussed was instituting the OpenInfra Foundation as the organizer for each user group on Meetup.com and other platforms used to organize events [2]. Naturally during the pandemic, fewer meetups were hosted and at the same time, many of the organizers changed positions which moved them away from their work with user groups. In some cases, we are able to reach out to the organizer to help find a replacement, but others have been unresponsive. In cases where the organizer is unresponsive, the group remains inactive unless the Foundation terminates the group's subscription which forces the organizer out of their position. See Meetup's guidelines on this situation.[3] It was decided during the Forum to move forward with terminating the subscriptions of inactive groups, which after 2 weeks will kick the current organizers out of their position. After this two-week period, the OpenInfra Foundation will be able to step in as the organizer and reinstitute the subscription. If you are a current organizer and would like to prevent this process from happening, please reach out to me. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Helena [1] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/2022SummitBerlin_User_Groups <https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/2022SummitBerlin_User_Groups> [2] https://www.meetup.com/pro/openinfradev <https://www.meetup.com/pro/openinfradev>[3] https://help.meetup.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001674111-Meetup-organizer-is-… <https://help.meetup.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001674111-Meetup-organizer-is-…>

Hello everyone! I wanted to let you know that I will be hosting a Forum session on User Groups and OpenInfra/OpenStack Days at the OpenInfra Summit in Berlin on Thursday, June 9, 10:20am - 10:50am. https://openinfra.dev/summit-schedule#event=25270&view=list <https://openinfra.dev/summit-schedule#event=25270&view=list> Over the last few years, a lot in the world of user groups and regional events has changed. I would love to take this opportunity to have a roundtable discussion on what your group is currently up to, what successes you have seen, and how the OpenInfra Foundation can help support your local community. I have put together an etherpad to start brainstorming topics. Feel free to add any topics you would like to discuss. I would also appreciate it if you could start to note down your thoughts on the topics in the etherpad ahead of time so we can review them together in person. https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/2022SummitBerlin_User_Groups <https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/2022SummitBerlin_User_Groups> If you are not planning to attend the Summit but are an active organizer, please feel free to make notes in the etherpad as well on any topics you would like the Foundation to address. Thank you, Helena
