by Jonathan Bryce 26 May '17

26 May '17

Hi everyone, Canonical has been a Platinum Member of the OpenStack Foundation since it was formed with their current membership term ending this year. They have indicated that they would like to transition to Gold Membership. We have another organization that is interested in applying for Platinum membership who will be considered at an upcoming Board meeting. If any other companies are interested in applying for the Platinum spot, contact me by June 2 so we can make sure to include you in the application process. If you have any questions or your organization is interested, please reach out to me. Thanks, Jonathan 210-317-2438

Board Initiatives: Unanswered Requirements Report
by Melvin Hillsman 05 May '17

05 May '17

Good day, The world is always communicating and we want to respond appropriately. We believe this initiative is essential to ensuring we expand, succeed, and have a relevant product for a diverse group of interested people. Our initial proposal(s) will be what we believe will get us started down a path to achieving the strategy to respond and respond in a timely manner. While we have captured our initial thoughts and ideas our requirement was to have a conversation during the Boston Forum and here is what we expect to get out of this conversation: - Process/Workflow/System - This should address people and behaviors. It is not the golden solution but rather we hope to have a proposal and someone committed to writing it up and circulating it among the community. - Data Points to Measure - What can we actually measure that is relevant to revealing successes and failures; things we should continue to do, things we should stop doing, things we should try to do. - Item to Measure - Identify at least one requirement that can be used within the proposed process/workflow/system to learn from (target is to implement). - With implementation being the goal, the hope is that this will be seen as more than an exercise in futility. - Inspired Individuals - Those who will commit to participating for at least one Forum cycle and be available to provide feedback, learnings, ideas, questions, answers, etc; which can be used to improve the process/workflow/system. These will probably change as it relates to priority and context post-Forum session yet as of today here are the talking points and things to consider as we move forward. -- Kind regards, Melvin Hillsman mrhillsman(a)gmail.com mobile: (832) 264-2646 Learner | Ideation | Belief | Responsibility | Command
