Leadership training proposal/info
by Colette Alexander 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

Hello Board members! I'm cross posting a recent conversation with the TC into the Board ML, in case any of you didn't catch it on the -dev list. If you're interested in leadership training, please write me, respond here, or ping me on IRC (gothicmindfood). Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------ Hello Stackers, This is the continuation of an ongoing conversation within the TC about encouraging the growth of leadership skills within the community that began just after the Mitaka summit last year[1]. After being asked by lifeless to do a bit of research and discussing needs/wants re: leadership directly with TC members, I made some suggestions on an etherpad[2], and was then asked to go find out about funding possibilities. tl;dr - If you're a member of the TC or the Board and would like to attend Leadership Training at ZingTrain in Ann Arbor, please get back to me ASAP with your contact info and preferred timing/dates for this two-day training - also, please let me know whether April 20/21 (or April 21/22) would specifically work for you or not. Longer version: Mark Collier and the Foundation have graciously offered to cover the costs of training for a two-day session at ZingTrain in Ann Arbor - this includes the cost of breakfast/lunch for two days as well as two full working-days of seminars. Attendees would be responsible for their own travel, lodging, and incidental expenses beyond that (hopefully picked up by your employer who sees this as an amazing opportunity for your career growth). Currently, I've heard the week before the Austin Summit suggested by more than one person coming in from out of the country as preferred dates, but we've not committed to anything yet, so here might be a great time and place to hash that out among interested parties. ZingTrain has suggested a cap of ~20 people on the course, but that's not totally firm, so it's possible to add more if more are interested, or we could hold two separate two-day sessions to accommodate overflow. My ideal mix of people include those who are really excited by the idea of training, and those who are are seriously skeptical of any leadership training at all. In fact, if you've been to leadership training before and have found it to be terrible and awful, I think your input would be most valuable on this one. My summary of reasoning behind the 'why' of ZingTrain can be found on the etherpad I already mentioned[2]. Also, did I mention, the food will be amazing? It will be[3]. Some complications: the week before the Newton Summit there will be a set of incoming TC members (elected in early April) and likely some TC members who will be outgoing. Some possible solutions: we can certainly push back training til post-Summit when we can have a set of the 'new' TC, or we can sign up anyone interested currently, and allow a limited number of newly elected folks who are interested sign on as the election is finished. I certainly welcome any thoughts on that. A note about starting out with the TC/Board for training: this initiative began as a set of conversations about leadership as a whole in the entire OpenStack community, so the intent with limiting to TC/Board here is not exclusion, merely finding the right place to start. My proposal with the TC begins with them, because the leadership conversation within OpenStack began with them, and the goals of training are really to help them talk about defining the issue/problem collectively, within a space designed to help people do that. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ping me on IRC (gothicmindfood) or ask them here. Thanks everyone! -colette [1] http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2015/tc.2015-11-03-20.07.log.html [2] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Leadershiptraining [3] http://www.zingermansdeli.com/
