Open Stack

Tristan -

I think that increasing the scope of the questions covered and generally soliciting more feedback from stakeholders would be helpful.  I'm supportive of both the discussion, and the ideas you propose below.

Best,
Chris

(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.

Cheers
Tristan

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.

Thanks,
AlanClark
