Hi everyone, I recently got more information about the space dedicated to the "Forum" at the OpenStack Summit in Boston. We'll have three different types of spaces available.
1/ "Forum" proper There will be 3 medium-sized fishbowl rooms for cross-community discussions. Topics for the discussions in that space will be selected and scheduled by a committee formed of TC and UC members, facilitated by Foundation staff members. In case you missed it, the brainstorming for topics started last week, announced by Emilien in that email: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-March/113115.html 2/ "On-boarding" rooms We'll have two rooms set up in classroom style, dedicated to project teams and workgroups who want to on-board new team members. Those can for example be booked by project teams to run an introduction to their codebase to prospective new contributors, in the hope that they will join their team in the future. Those are not meant to do traditional user-facing "project intro" talks -- there is space in the conference for that. They are meant to provide the next logical step in contributing after Upstream University and being involved on the sidelines. It covers the missing link for prospective contributors between attending Summit and coming to the PTG. Kendall Nelson and Mike Perez will soon announce the details for this, including how projects can sign up. 3/ Free hacking/meetup space We'll have four or five rooms populated with roundtables for ad-hoc discussions and hacking. We don't have specific plans for these -- we could set up something like the PTG ethercalc for teams to book the space, or keep it open. Maybe half/half. More details on all this as they come up. Hoping to see you there ! -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
