This is a joint question from mnaser and me :)
For the candidates who are running for tc seats, please reply to this
email to indicate if you are open to use certain social media app in
certain region (like Wechat in China, Line in Japan, etc.), in order to
reach out to the OpenStack developers in that region and help them to
connect to the upstream community as well as answering questions or
other activities that will help. (sorry for the long sentence ... )
Rico and I already sign up for Wechat communication for sure :)
Having had some experience with WeChat, I can't imagine I'd be very
useful in a nova channel in WeChat since the majority of people in that
group wouldn't be speaking English so I wouldn't be of much help, unless
someone directly asked me a question in English. I realize the double
standard here with expecting non-native English speakers to show up in
the #openstack-nova freenode IRC channel to ask questions. It's
definitely a hard problem when people simply can't speak the same
language and I don't have a great solution. Probably the best common
solution we have is having more people across time zones and language
barriers engaging in more discussion in the mailing list (and Gerrit
reviews of course). So maybe that means if you're in WeChat and someone
is blocked or has a bigger question for a specific project team,
encourage them to send an email to the dev ML - but that requires
ambassadors to be in WeChat channels to make that suggestion. I think of
this like working with product teams within your own company. Lots of
those people aren't active upstream contributors and to avoid being the
middleman (and thus bottleneck) for all communication between upstream
and downstream teams, I've encouraged the downstream folk to send an
email upstream to start a discussion.
