Thanks Melvin, I pasted your post to the etherpad[1] so that all can view it during the joint meeting. Regards, AlanClark [1] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/UnofficialBoardNotes-May7-2017 From: Melvin Hillsman [mailto:mrhillsman@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, May 05, 2017 7:54 AM To: foundation-board@lists.openstack.org mailing list <foundation-board@lists.openstack.org> Subject: [Foundation Board] Board Initiatives: Unanswered Requirements Report 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 o 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 o 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 o Identify at least one requirement that can be used within the proposed process/workflow/system to learn from (target is to implement). o With implementation being the goal, the hope is that this will be seen as more than an exercise in futility. · Inspired Individuals o 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@gmail.com<mailto:mrhillsman@gmail.com> mobile: (832) 264-2646 Learner | Ideation | Belief | Responsibility | Command
