[Openstack-operators] [forum] Brainstorming Topics for Vancouver 2018
Hi all, Welcome to the topic selection process for our Forum in Vancouver. Note that this is not a classic conference track with speakers and presentations. OpenStack community members (participants in development teams, SIGS, working groups, and other interested individuals) discuss the topics they want to cover and get alignment on and we welcome your participation. The Forum is for the entire community to come together, to create a neutral space rather than having separate "ops" and "dev" days. Users should should aim to come with ideas for for the next release, gather feedback on the past version and have strategic discussions that go beyond just one release cycle. We aim to ensure the broadest coverage of topics that will allow for multiple parts of the community getting together to discuss key areas within our community/projects. There are two stages to the brainstorming: 1. Starting today, set up an etherpad with your team and start discussing ideas you'd like to talk about at the Forum and work out which ones to submit - just like you did prior to the design summit. 2. Then, in a couple of weeks, we will open up a more formal web-based tool for you to submit abstracts for the most popular sessions that came out of your brainstorming. Make an etherpad and add it to the list at: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Forum/Vancouver2018 One key thing we'd like to see (as always?) is cross-project collaboration, and discussion between every area of the community. Try to see if there is an interested working group on the user side to add to your ideas. Examples of typical discussions that include multiple parts of the community getting together to discuss: * Strategic, whole-of-community discussions, to think about the big picture, including beyond just one release cycle and new technologies o eg Making OpenStack One Platform for containers/VMs/Bare Metal (Strategic session) the entire community congregates to share opinions on how to make OpenStack achieve its integration engine goal * Cross-project sessions, in a similar vein to what has happened at past design summits, but with increased emphasis on issues that are of relevant to all areas of the community o eg Rolling Upgrades at Scale (Cross-Project session) -- the Large Deployments Team collaborates with Nova, Cinder and Keystone to tackle issues that come up with rolling upgrades when there's a large number of machines. * Project-specific sessions, where developers can ask users specific questions about their experience, users can provide feedback from the last release and cross-community collaboration on the priorities and 'blue sky' ideas for the next release. o eg Neutron Pain Points (Project-Specific session) -- Co-organized by neutron developers and users. Neutron developers bring some specific questions they want answered, Neutron users bring feedback from the latest release and ideas about the future. Think about what kind of session ideas might end up as: Project-specific, cross-project or strategic/whole-of-community discussions. There'll be more slots for the latter two, so do try and think outside the box! This part of the process is where we gather broad community consensus - in theory the second part is just about fitting in as many of the good ideas into the schedule as we can.

Thanks to others who have helped me, we have a project called sphinx-feature-classification [0]. This allows a project to use a sphinx directive to generate a support matrix based on drivers recorded in a INI file [1] which lives in the project's repository. I have also went through and found projects using the duplicate code this library replaces and proposed changes to those projects [2]. Next steps in the library to account for: * Releases * Maintainers * CI success/failure parsing patterns (do we still need this?) Am I missing anything else? I noticed we have information in driver log and the wiki [3] and I kind of don't know now what third-party CI's are dependent on to work with gerrit. I'll check it out today and report back here, unless someone knows and replies before I get a chance.

[Openstack-operators] [all] Thanks Bot - For a happier open source community, give recognition
Every open source community is made up of real people with real feelings. Many open source contributors are working in their free time to provide essential software that we use daily. Sometimes praise is lost in the feedback of bugs or missing features. Focusing on too much negative feedback can lead contributors to frustration and burnout. However you end up contributing to OpenStack, or any open source project, I believe that what gets people excited about working with a community is some form of recognition. My first answer to people coming into the OpenStack community is to join our Project Team Gathering event. Significant changes are discussed here to understand the technical details to carry out the work in the new release. You should seek out people who are owners of these changes and volunteer to work on a portion of the work. Not only are these people interested in your success by having you take on some of the work they have invested in, but you will be doing work that interests the entire team. You’ll finish the improvements and be known as the person in the project with the expertise in that area. You’ll receive some recognition from the team and the community using your software. And just like that, you’re hooked because you know your work is making a difference. Maybe you’ll improve that area of the project more, venture onto other parts of the project, or even expand to other open source projects. If you work in the OpenStack community, there’s also another way you can give and get recognition. In OpenStack IRC channels, you can thank members of the community publicly with the following command: #thanks for being a swell person in that heated discussion! To be clear, is replaced with the person you want to give thanks. Where does this information go? Just like the Success Bot in which we can share successes as a community, Thanks Bot will post them to the OpenStack wiki. They will also be featured in the OpenStack Developer Digest. https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Thanks In developing this feature, I’ve had help and feedback from various members of the community. You can see my history of thanking people along the way, too. At the next OpenStack event, you’re still welcome to buy a tasty beverage for someone to say thanks. But why not give them recognition now too and let them know how much they’re appreciated in the community? -- Mike Perez (thingee) pgpX72OwhnVyD.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ OpenStack-operators mailing list OpenStack-operators@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-operators

Just like the Success Bot in which we can share successes as a community, Thanks Bot will post them to the OpenStack wiki. They will also be featured in the OpenStack Developer Digest. https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Thanks In developing this feature, I’ve had help and feedback from various members of the community. You can see my history of thanking people along the way, too. At the next OpenStack event, you’re still welcome to buy a tasty beverage for someone to say thanks. But why not give them recognition now too and let them know how much they’re appreciated in the community? -- Mike Perez (thingee) pgp31hDmM_C7G.pgp Description: PGP signature __ 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
[openstack-dev] [ptg] [contributor-guide] Contributor Guide Discussion and Hacking Sessions
Hey all, Our set of Contributor Guides [0] are making progress in providing our community with content for on-boarding new contributors of different types of work. At the PTG we'll be sharing space with the Documentation and i18n teams [2]. On Tuesday at 9:00-10:15 AM local time we'll be discussing next steps with the Contributor Guide of what's left from our StoryBoard tasks [3] and the current vision. There will also be impromptu meetup/hacking sessions [4] happening Monday thru Wednesday on the Contributor Guide with the OpenStack Upstream Institute team, who are interested in using this content for future events. You can read about contributing to the Contributor Guide for help [5]. I will be unable to physically attend the PTG this time, but Kendall Nelson (diablo_rojo on IRC) will be around to help lead these sessions. I will however be around on #openstack-doc to help with reviews or discussions in the mentioned impromptu hack times. Thanks everyone!

[openstack-dev] [ptg] Lightning talks
Hey all! I'm looking for six 5-minute lightning talks for the PTG in Dublin. This will be on Friday March 2nd at 13:00-13:30 local time. Appropriate 5 minute talk examples: * Neat features in libraries like oslo that we should consider adopting in our community wide goals. * Features and tricks in your favorite editor that makes doing work easier. * Infra tools that maybe not a lot of people know about yet. Zuul v3 explained in five minutes anyone? * Some potential API specification from the API SIG that we should adopt as a community wide goal. Please email me DIRECTLY the following information: Title: Speaker(s) full name: Abstract: Link to presentation or attachment if you have it already. Laptop on stage will be loaded with your presentation already. I'll have open office available so odp, odg, otp, pdf, limited ppt format support. Submission deadline is February 16 00:00 UTC, and then I'll send confirmation emails to speakers requesting for slides.

Its scope is to coordinate the use and development of several OpenStack projects which can be combined in various ways to manage OpenStack infrastructure in a policy-driven fashion, reacting to failures and other events by automatically healing and optimising services. Full thread: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-sigs/2017-November/000170.html Proposal for a QA SIG = A proposal to to have a co-existing QA special interest group (SIG) that would be a place for downstream efforts to have a common place in collaborating and sharing tests. Example today the OPNFV performs QA on OpenStack releases today and are actively looking for opportunieis to share tools and test cases. While a SIG can exist to do some code, the QA team will remain for now since there are around 15 QA projects existing like Tempest and Grenade.

In the past the community has asked for people who are interested in old branches being maintained for a long time to join the Stable Maintenance team with the premise that if the stable team grew, it could support more branches for longer periods. This has been repeated for about years and is not working. This discussion is about allowing collaboration on patches beyond end of life (EOL) and enable whoever steps up to maintain longer lived branches to come up with a set of tests that actually match their needs with tests that would be less likely to bitrot due to changing OS/PYPI substrate. We need to lower expectations of what we're likely to produce will get more brittle the older the branch gets. Any burden created by taking on more work is absorbed by people doing the work, as does not unduly impact the folks not interested in doing the work. The idea is to continue the current stable policy more or less as it is. Development teams take responsibility of a couple of stable branches. At some point what we now call an EOL branch, instead of deleting it we would leave it open and establish a new team of people who want to continue to main that branch. It's anticipated the members of those new teams are coming mostly from users and distributors. Not all branches are going to attract teams to maintain them, and that's OK. We will stop tagging these branches so the level of support they provide are understood. Backports and other fixes can be shared, but to consume them, a user will have to build their own packages. Test jobs will run as they are, and the team that maintain the branch could decide how to deal with them. Fixing the jobs upstream where possible is preferred, but depending on who is maintaining the branch, the level of support they are actually providing and the nature of the breakage, removing individual tests or whole jobs is another option. Using third-party testing came up but is not required. Policies for the new team being formed to maintain these older branches is being discussed in an etherpad [2]. Some feedback in the room expressed they to start one release a year who's branch isn't deleted after a year. Do one release a year and still keep N-2 stable releases around. We still do backports to all open stable branches. Basically do what we're doing now, but once a year. Discussion on this suggestion extended to the OpenStack SIG mailing list [1] suggesting that skip-release upgrades are a much better way to deal with upgrade pain than extending cycles. Releasing every year instead of a 6 months means our releases will contain more changes, and the upgrade could become more painful. We should be release often as we can and makes the upgrades less painful so versions can be skipped. We have so far been able to find people to maintain stable branches for 12-18 months. Keep N-2 branches for annual releases open would mean extending that support period to 2+ years. If we're going to do that, we need to address how we are going to retain contributors. When you don't release often enough, the pressure to get a patch "in" increases. Missing the boat and waiting for another year is not bearable.

The process and results are also available [1]. 420 voted out of 2430 electorate, giving us a 17.28% turn out with a delta of 29.16% [2]. Reasons for the low turnout is hard to tell without knowing who is voting and what their activity is in the community. More people are beginning to understand the point of the TC activities, being more around duties than rights (e.g. stewardship and leadership). People could care a bit less about specific individuals and are less motivated by the vote itself. If the activity of the TC was a lot more conflict and a lot less consensus, people might care about it more.

Introduction of sigs provide a new construct for recognizing activity around a group that share interest around a topic or practice that are not mainly around software bits. Security is a great example of a topic that could benefit from this construct to gather all security-conscious people in our community. SIGs can have software by-products and own git repositories, and the software is more about security in general than a piece of OpenStack itself. It's important to consider the Vulnerability Management Team (VMT) under the new model, which acts as an independent task force. The Security team discussed the idea of a SIG in their meeting, and overall think it's worth exploring by having the SIG and team exist in parallel to see if there is traction.

An effort we talked about at the last PTG and finally surfaced is the contributor portal [1] and contributor guide [2]. The portal is a good landing page to explore different projects and their contributor guides listed in the project yaml [3]. The contributor guide is included on the portal and the hope is people go through that first which includes general topics like irc setup, account setup and git setup. More people can contribute general topics so all projects benefit. The contributor guide should at least cover those topics for you to have groups break off and do. Then you can spend your preparing time on other topics like team specific topics and tools. If anyone has time and wants to help all projects choosing to use this guide, read my previous post [3] announcing this project and asking for help.

[openstack-dev] [all][docs][contributor-guide] Onboarding Contributor Content Help Wanted
Hey all, tldr; There's an effort to collect general documentation for new OpenStack contributors. The content that qualifies as general so far is Git, IRC, account setup. We are looking for help to write new content at the git repo openstack/contributor-guide. No that subject tag is not a mistake. There are two projects recently that I've been active with that have the word "Contributor" in it. 1) Contributor Portal - The openstack.org/community page update that focuses more on guiding potential contributors to areas of interest. This will link people to the general documentation set for that category (The Contributor Guide)and the project team's specific documentation if any. Everyone gets general onboarding contributor documentation for free! In addition it serves as a great landing page of resources for existing contributors. [1] 2) Contributor Guide - A sphinx project of where the general documentation is stored. [2] I'm waiting on a couple of patches to merge [3][4], but this will be published at https://docs.openstack.org/contributors My goal is to make the Contributor Guide and Contributor Portal available to all projects for their Onboarding rooms in Sydney [5]. If you're not familiar with this effort, we're creating general documentation (e.g. IRC, git, account setup, and more) in an effort to keep them up-to-date and not have outdated silos of this type of documentation. From the PTG discussion [4] it was agreed that general documentation can live in a separate repository (i.e. Contributor Guide), but project specific documentation will continue to live in the development documentation of the respected project. I'm looking for volunteers to help build our Contributor guide. I think a good starting point is to look at how we can help keep some content fresh for things like the Upstream Institute [6]. They have a great layout that we can build off of from their content page [7]. If anyone is interested in helping with making our onboarding experience better, please checkout the git repository [8] and lets collaborate on this content. I'm thingee on freenode and in the #openstack-doc room for these related discussions. Shout out to Kendall Nelson, Anne Bertucio, Frank Kloeker, Ildiko Vancsa, Amy Marrich, Thierry Carrez, Lauren Sell, Jimmy McArthur, Wes Wilson, the Documentation Core team, and Infra core team for getting this project going!

Sorry for the late reply all. Decompression from burning man and ptg :). Thanks for the discussions everyone has brought to this thread. I think we did a good job brainstorming and identifying what we have more information on. I would like to move this discussion to a different thread that focuses on those more identified areas, with relation to the recent user survey: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-October/123086.html Lets keep this momentum going! -- Mike Perez signature.asc Description: PGP signature __ 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

General documentation (e.g. git, creating accounts, gerrit setup, etc) will still live in this central repo. If you choose to contribute by code for example and you pick a project, it will take you through our general documentation, then the project’s specific documentation. * This could lead to inconsistencies in documentation design? Confusion for the reader being sent to different pages? ### General * We can’t go based off services. Not everything people are contributing to is a service, so they won't have anything corresponding in the [service type authority repo](http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/service-types-authority/tree/service-types.yaml). There might be a field in projects.yaml that can help with this. * Remind Thierry on the service type authority repo for grouping/mapping project. * Videos were considered, but they’re hard to keep up-to-date. Previous Documentation PTL Alexandra Settle expressed that even screenshots can get out of date real fast. * Generate some kind of crash-course / cheatsheet content for people who are used to GitHub but not familiar with Gerrit. Aspiers volunteered for this and made this first pass [ethercalc sheet](https://ethercalc.openstack.org/github-gerrit). * Translation team needs to be included * Provide documentation with how to edit the landing page, since the source is being hosted on github (there are transition discussions in place with the infra team and Jimmy) * Help projects with creating their own contributor guides if they need to. Think of something like Cookie cutter for setting up the scaffolding for a new OpenStack project, but getting projects contributor guides going. ### Upstream Institute Attendees of the session we’re more in favor of projects keeping their specific documentation owned in their repositories.

Here's an ether pad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/contributor-portal-user-section ### Mock Up Feedback * Having the service types is great, but on the next level it would be good to express the code name with a description of what the project does. * Combine in events OpenStack day, meetups, forum, ptg, etc. (emphasize on in person thing) ### Bikeshed * A word that combines code and documentation ("team(s)" was already rejected) -- Mike Perez signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ OpenStack-operators mailing list OpenStack-operators@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-operators

I purposely was leading this effort being broad so we can take the comments of OpenStack being complex, and have a conversation on what that actually means to people. The feedback from people on the etherpad, as well as the in person discussions have been valuable in getting those different perspectives. Unfortunately participation was low, but I'm interested in seeing if we can identify some themes to have some actual doable objectives. I appreciate you taking the time in writing up your feedback on this Boris. I will make sure it's included in the more polished summary I'll be giving the TC and the Board to act on.

Hey all, I would like to encourage people from different teams to add items of things they learned at the PTG about simplifying their own projects.

[openstack-dev] [ptg] Simplification in OpenStack
Hey all, Back in a joint meeting with the TC, UC, Foundation and The Board it was decided as an area of OpenStack to focus was Simplifying OpenStack. This intentionally was very broad so the community can kick start the conversation and help tackle some broad feedback we get. Unfortunately yesterday there was a low turn out in the Simplification room. A group of people from the Swift team, Kevin Fox and Swimingly were nice enough to start the conversation and give some feedback. You can see our initial ether pad work here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/simplifying-os There are efforts happening everyday helping with this goal, and our team has made some documented improvements that can be found in our report to the board within the ether pad. I would like to take a step back with this opportunity to have in person discussions for us to identify what are the area of simplifying that are worthwhile. I’m taking a break from the room at the moment for lunch, but I encourage people at 13:30 local time to meet at the simplification room level b in the big thompson room.

That’s a good question. I think it should probably on top contain the more general stuff, then in alphabetical order we can list resources for all contribution types? It can be like the “I want to contribute to OpenStack by…” top piece, but instead lists resource links to pick through based on your contribution type(s). Maybe we keep them as separate pages as originally given in the mock up so it’s not overly crowded?

It can be like the “I want to contribute to OpenStack by…” top piece, but instead lists resource links to pick through based on your contribution type(s). Maybe we keep them as separate pages as originally given in the mock up so it’s not overly crowded?

Re: [Openstack-operators] [docs][all][ptl] Contributor Portal and Better New Contributor On-boarding
+ OpenStack dev list Hello all, Wes has just took my ugly mock up of the contributor portal idea and came up with this [1]. Here’s what he said: "The idea is to help get potential contributors to the right place, using the outline Mike put together. Rather than sending people to a different page for each contribution type, users would be able to see what options are available all on this page. We’d send them to any necessary page(s) once they’ve gone through this quasi-wizard. Is this along the lines of what you were thinking? page 2 shows the view once you’ve clicked “Code” on page 1 (just in case that wasn’t super obvious) Thanks!” What do you all think? This does change things a bit of instead of the landing page being more obvious of a resource of links, it’s both for new and current contributors. Current contributors would hopefully be able to see the resource links below. Keep in mind that we will be working in the “Top 5 requested help” and as suggested by Clark, an option of “I don’t know where I want to start, but I want to help” kind of option. This would direct people to resources such as Upstream University, mentor program, low hanging fruit, that release priority idea I talked about earlier, etc. Personally I like it!

Yes I'm talking about both junior and new contributors in the way you're defining them. If they're new, they can still participate in discussions and meet the people leading an effort. Processes with launchpad/gerrit etc is all just tools that can be learned later. Learning these processes should just be followed up later with the looking at the new contributor portal with the project they selected to work with and follow instructions and ask for help on their IRC channel when needed. -- Mike Perez signature.asc Description: PGP signature __ 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

I agree. I just know people are going to come regardless of no matter how many warning signs you throw in front of them. A quick intro into each session that this going to move fast/has been discussed and not exactly new contributor friendly but if you are interested in the effort being discussed find .

There's also not really much gratification or recognition for what you did by the wider community sometimes. This is something I feel that helps in having people come back to contribute. This is going on a tangent of something else I have coming in the future but I think there are a few ways a new contributor would come in: ## PTG New contributors should be participating in the sessions for a project and get to know who are the people leading those efforts. People leading efforts want help. Whether it be documentation for the thing, implementation, testing, etc. Working with the people involved is a good way to get to know that feature or change. The people leading the effort are now invested in YOU succeeding because if you don't succeed, they don't either. Once you succeed in the feature or change with someone, you have recognition in people knowing you are responsible for it in some way. This is an awesome feeling and will lead you to either improving it more or going onto other things. While you're only understanding of a project is that thing, you may get curious and move onto other parts of the code. This leads to someone in the future leading efforts for new contributors! ## Forum I would like to see our on-boarding rooms having time to introduce current/future efforts happening in the project. Introduce the people behind those efforts. Give a little time to break out into meet and greet to remember friendly faces and do as mentioned above. ## Internet People may not be able to attend our events, but want to participate. Using your idea of listing work items of large blueprints is an excellent! It would be good if we could list those cleanly and who is leading it. Maybe Storyboard will be able to help with this in the future Kendall? -- Mike Perez signature.asc Description: PGP signature __ 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

I understand and agree. This was a big selling point to contributors I've spoke to about this though in avoid walls of text so it's actually something seeming doable.

[Openstack] [docs][all][ptl] Contributor Portal and Better New Contributor On-boarding
Hello all, Every month we have people asking on IRC or the dev mailing list having interest in working on OpenStack, and sometimes they're given different answers from people, or worse, no answer at all. Suggestion: lets work our efforts together to create some common documentation so that all teams in OpenStack can benefit. First it’s important to note that we’re not just talking about code projects here. OpenStack contributions come in many forms such as running meet ups, identifying use cases (product working group), documentation, testing, etc. We want to make sure those potential contributors feel welcomed too! What is common documentation? Things like setting up Git, the many accounts you need to setup to contribute (gerrit, launchpad, OpenStack foundation account). Not all teams will use some common documentation, but the point is one or more projects will use them. Having the common documentation worked on by various projects will better help prevent duplicated efforts, inconsistent documentation, and hopefully just more accurate information. A team might use special tools to do their work. These can also be integrated in this idea as well. Once we have common documentation we can have something like: 1. Choose your own adventure: I want to contribute by code 2. What service type are you interested in? (Database, Block storage, compute) 3. Here’s step-by-step common documentation to setting up Git, IRC, Mailing Lists, Accounts, etc. 4. A service type project might choose to also include additional documentation in that flow for special tools, etc. Important things to note in this flow: * How do you want to contribute? * Here are **clear** names that identify the team. Not code names like Cloud Kitty, Cinder, etc. * The documentation should really aim to not be daunting: * Someone should be able to glance at it and feel like they can finish things in five minutes. Not be yet another tab left in their browser that they’ll eventually forget about * No wall of text! * Use screen shots * Avoid covering every issue you could hit along the way. ## Examples of More Simple Documentation I worked on some documentation for the Upstream University preparation that has received excellent feedback meet close to these suggestions: * IRC [1] * Git [2] * Account Setup [3] ## 500 Feet Birds Eye view There will be a Contributor landing page on the openstack.org website. Existing contributors will find reference links to quickly jump to things. New contributors will find a banner at the top of the page to direct them to the choose your own adventure to contributing to OpenStack, with ordered documentation flow that reuses existing documentation when necessary. Picture also a progress bar somewhere to show how close you are to being ready to contribute to whatever team. Of course there are a lot of other fancy things we can come up with, but I think getting something up as an initial pass would be better than what we have today. Here's an example of what the sections/chapters could look like: - Code * Volumes (Cinder) * IRC * Git * Account Setup * Generating Configs * Compute (Nova) * IRC * Git * Account Setup * Something about hypervisors (matrix?) - Use Cases * Products (Product working group) * IRC * Git * Use Case format There are some rough mock up ideas [4]. Probably Sphinx will be fine for this. Potentially we could use this content for conference lunch and learns, upstream university, and the on-boarding events at the Forum. What do you all think?

[openstack-dev] [tc][all][ptl] Most Supported Queens Goals and Improving Goal Completion
Hey all, In the community wide goals, we started as a group discussing goals at the OpenStack Forum. Then we brought those ideas to the mailing list to continue the discussion and include those that were not able to be at the forum. The discussions help the TC decide on what goals we will do for the Queens release. The goals that have the most support so far are: 1) Split Tempest plugins into separate repos/projects [1] 2) Move policy and policy docs into code [2] In the recent TC meeting [3] it was recognized that goals in Pike haven't been going as smoothly and not being completed. There will be a follow up thread to cover gathering feedback in an etherpad later, but for now the TC has discussed potential actions to improve completing goals in Queens. An idea that came from the meeting was creating a role of "Champions", who are the drum beaters to get a goal done by helping projects with tracking status and sometimes doing code patches. These would be interested volunteers who have a good understanding of their selected goal and its implementation to be a trusted person. What do people think before we bikeshed on the name? Would having a champion volunteer to each goal to help? Are there ideas that weren't mentioned in the TC meeting [3]?
