Re: [openstack-dev] [Heat] Online midcycle meetup
Angus, This may sound crazy but what if in addition to having the online meetup you denoted two different locations as an optional physical meetup? That way you would get some of the benefits of having folks meet together in person while not forcing everyone to have to travel across the globe. So for example, if you had one location in Raleigh and one wherever else folks are co-located you could still get the benefits of having some group of folks collaborating face to face. Just a thought. --Brad Brad Topol, Ph.D. IBM Distinguished Engineer OpenStack (919) 543-0646 Internet: bto...@us.ibm.com Assistant: Kendra Witherspoon (919) 254-0680 From: Angus Salkeld To: "OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)" , Date: 11/19/2014 06:56 PM Subject:[openstack-dev] [Heat] Online midcycle meetup Hi all As agreed from our weekly meeting we are going to try an online meetup. Why? We did a poll (https://doodle.com/b9m4bf8hvm3mna97#table) and it is split quite evenly by location. The story I am getting from the community is: "We want a midcycle meetup if it is nearby, but are having trouble getting finance to travel far." Given that the Heat community is evenly spread across the globe this becomes impossible to hold without excluding a significant group. So let's try and figure out how to do an online meetup! (but let's not spend 99% of the time arguing about the software to use please) I think more interesting is: 1) How do we minimize the time zone pain? 2) Can we make each session really focused so we are productive. 3) If we do this right it does not have to be "midcycle" but when ever we want. I'd be interested in feedback from others that have tried this too. -Angus ___ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev ___ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev

Hi all As agreed from our weekly meeting we are going to try an online meetup. Why? We did a poll (https://doodle.com/b9m4bf8hvm3mna97#table) and it is split quite evenly by location. The story I am getting from the community is: "We want a midcycle meetup if it is nearby, but are having trouble getting finance to travel far." Given that the Heat community is evenly spread across the globe this becomes impossible to hold without excluding a significant group. So let's try and figure out how to do an online meetup!
