We agreed to meet monthly, and to emphasize agenda items that help us move initiatives forward while leaving most of the discussion of those topics to the mailing list. Our first meeting was held on 1 Nov. The agendas for all of our meetings will be sent to the openstack-dev mailing list in advance, and links to the logs and summary will be sent as a follow up after the meeting. * http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-November/136220.html The next meeting will be 6 December 1400 UTC in #openstack-tc == Team Liaisons == The TC liaisons to each project team for the Stein series are now assigned. Please contact your liaison if you have any issues the TC can help with, and watch for email from them to check in with your team before the end of this development cycle. * https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_health_tracker#Project_Teams == Sessions at the Forum == Many of us will be meeting in Berlin next week for the OpenStack Summit and Forum.

See the wiki for details. * https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/12Nov2018BoardMeeting == Contacting the TC == The Technical Committee uses a series of weekly "office hour" time slots for synchronous communication. We hope that by having several such times scheduled, we will have more opportunities to engage with members of the community from different timezones. Office hour times in #openstack-tc: - 09:00 UTC on Tuesdays - 01:00 UTC on Wednesdays - 15:00 UTC on Thursdays If you have something you would like the TC to discuss, you can add it to our office hour conversation starter etherpad at: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/tc-office-hour-conversation-starters Many of us also run IRC bouncers which stay in #openstack-tc most of the time, so please do not feel that you need to wait for an office hour time to pose a question or offer a suggestion. You can use the string "tc-members" to alert the members to your question. You will find channel logs with past conversations at http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-tc/ If you expect your topic to require significant discussion or to need input from members of the community other than the TC, please start a mailing list discussion on openstack-dev at lists.openstack.org and use the subject tag "[tc]" to bring it to the attention of TC members. __________________________________________________________________________ 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
