We apologies for keeping your schedule busy. Looking forward to see you in the

Hi.

I hope it's fine to not cross-post and also that the message goes to the right 
place. I'm interested in the answers but the questions aren't specific and I'm 
not going to attend to the meeting. So I expect that there are better questions 
to fill that place. These questions have being in my head for a long time, even.

- Where are the results of the (past) surveys?
- Can the surveys be audited?
- How safe they are? I mean: if someone wants to change the data, the security 
measures to the data integrity?
- "Community" is very vague therm. Can we have details about the users that 
answered them like a general description about the typical FreeBSD user and the 
user that answered them?
- How the biases of the surveys were managed?
- How the surveys data were processed to arrive at the results?
- the papers about these surveys?

Sorry if this all looks late or repetitive.

CORE Team Office Hours

2021-02-22 Thread FreeBSD Core Team Secretary
Hi,

Following on from the effort in 2019, The FreeBSD team is arranging another 
Community Survey to help shape the future of The FreeBSD Project. The purpose 
of this survey is to collect quantitative data from the public in order to help 
guide the project’s priorities and efforts. Similar  surveys have been 
conducted twice by the FreeBSD Project and we are preparing for our third.

Before publishing the next survey the Core Team welcomes you to attend for a 
Virtual Town Hall meeting to share some of the insights of the 2020 Community 
Survey, and seek advice on how the next survey should be conducted. The virtual 
Town Hall will take place on the 17th of March 2021, at 18:00 hours GMT/UTC. 
See https://wiki.freebsd.org/OfficeHours for details on how to join either a 
live stream to watch, or an interactive meeting to participate.

If time permits the Core Team may be able to answer questions related to the 
survey process.. If you have any specific questions that you would like 
answered during the session you can send an email to core@ ahead of the meeting 
which the Core Team will try to address.

Thanks! We look forward to meeting you.

Moin (bofh), with core-secretary@ hat on

Core Team Office Hours 4

2020-10-09 Thread FreeBSD Core Team Secretary
Based on the continuity of our last CORE Office Hours The FreeBSD CORE Team 
would like to invite you all to a virtual town hall meeting. As mentioned 
earlier this session is timed at 0200 UTC on 14th October, 2020 geared towards 
the other part of the World but everyone is welcome to join. See 
https://wiki.freebsd.org/OfficeHours for details on how to join either a live 
stream to watch, or an interactive meeting to participate. A link to this 
agenda (and any updates) will be there as well.

We’ll be discussing the following topics and taking general questions at the 
end. We’ll have a moderator who will help call on people in the meeting to ask 
questions (or to offer comments) as well as relay relevant questions from IRC.

a. Git Transition -- To raise awareness, Ed Maste and Warner Losh will be 
giving a brief presentation about the state of the project’s planned transition 
to git. They can answer a few questions here, but are also planning an entire 
office hours on the git transition (tentatively scheduled in two weeks).

b. Recruiting for project teams -- When a new core team takes over, it’s a good 
time to assess the needs of each of the teams that we have running different 
aspects of the project, such as administering our machines and helping keep 
FreeBSD secure. One common theme is the need for more help. We’ll discuss what 
teams there are, and make a recruiting pitch and answer any questions.

c. Core TODO List publishing -- To continue the openness initiative, the core 
team will start publishing out TODO list. This will be in addition to the 
normal meeting minutes and other openness ideas. The new core team would love 
to hear from the community how to improve our communications.

d. General Questions -- Time permitting, the core team can answer any other 
questions or concerns the community might have.

Thanks! We look forward to meeting you.

Moin (bofh), with core-secretary@ hat on

Based on the continuity of our last CORE Office Hours The FreeBSD CORE Team 
would like to invite you all to a virtual town hall meeting. The session is 
timed at 1800 UTC on 23rd September, 2020. See

stream to watch, or an interactive meeting to participate. A link to this 
agenda (and any updates) will be there as well. A similar session is planned on 
the next week and will be announced soon targeting the other part of the world.

We’ll be discussing the following topics and taking general questions at the 
end. We’ll have a moderator who will help call on people in the meeting to ask

* Discuss proposed terminology changes -- The prior core team had sent out a 
proposal about how to handle shifts in language based on societal change. The 
initial message was poorly written and didn’t strike the right tone. We’ll 
discuss it, the underlying issue and how the new core team plans on doing 
things better.

* General Questions -- Time permitting, the new core team can answer any other 
questions or concerns the community might have.

Core Team Office Hours

2020-07-03 Thread FreeBSD Core Team Secretary
FreeBSD recently held an election for its governing body called the ‘Core 
Team’. The newly elected Core Team would like to invite you to a virtual town 
hall meeting. We’ll be holding two sessions, one timed well for Europe and the 
Americas; the other timed well for Asia, Africa and India. Sessions will be 
held at 1800 UTC on July 7, 2020 and 0200 UTC on July 8, 2020. See 
https://wiki.freebsd.org/OfficeHours for details on how to join either a live 
stream to watch, or an interactive meeting to participate. A link to this 
agenda (and any updates) will be there as well.

We’ll be discussing the following topics and taking general questions at the 
end. We’ll have a moderator who will help call on people in the meeting to ask 
questions (or to offer comments) as well as relay relevant questions from IRC.

• Introduce core members -- All the core team members in attendance 
will briefly introduce themselves and say a few words about their goals for 
this core term.
• Discuss proposed terminology changes -- Recently, the prior core team 
had sent out a proposal about how to handle shifts in language based on 
societal change. The initial message was poorly written and didn’t strike the 
right tone. We’ll discuss it, the underlying issue and how the new core team 
plans on doing things better.
• Recruiting for project teams -- When a new core team takes over, it’s
