(Putting this out to the Foundation list also for wider input) Can I please propose a quick board discussion around improving the feedback to the organisation, perhaps very easily by adding some feedback questions to the user survey? Presently there is only one non-technical question in the survey about what folks hope to see as priorities or something like that. I'd be hoping to see questions like... 1: The goals for the OpenStack board in 2014 were X, Y and Z. On a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is least satisfied and 10 is most satisfied, how satisfied were you that the board met goal X in 2014? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 2: How satisfied were you that the board met goal Y in 2014? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 3: How satisfied were you that the board met goal Z in 2014? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...and so on for TC performance, interactions with Foundation staff, and so on.
From what I can tell, we have a way to go to improving feedback to the Foundation on governance, organisation and overall management presently and this is a pretty standard mechanism used by organisations worldwide.
I'd welcome feedback from anyone in this area. It may be that the user survey isn't the best place to add this, but I feel like there is definitely room for discussion here.

The next OpenStack board meeting will be held on April 2nd at 12noon - 2pm pacific. Committee Chairs and Directors please send me items you would like on the agenda. I need the materials for the board packet by EOB Monday March 30th so that I may post and distribute the materials to the board prior to the meeting. (Please tell me if materials need to be marked confidential.) I've started drafting the agenda[1]. Expecting topics from several committees, it's going to be a very full agenda. We will also be holding an Executive Session during the meeting.
