 Hi Maish:

 This thread is about the Design Summit, the Operators Track is a
 different thing.

 In Atlanta the Operators Track was organized by Tom Fifield and I have
 every confidence he is working hard to ensure the operators have a voice
 in Paris and that those interested can participate.

 Last summit the Operators Track ran on the Monday and the Friday giving
 folks who usually spend most of the time at the Design summit to
 participate and hear the operator's voices. I know I did and I found it
 highly educational.

 Thanks,
 Anita.
 Thanks for the clarification Anita :)
 
 I think the plan is to have the Ops summit run on Monday, with an extra
 day on Thursday to continue the discussions. I CCed Tom for more input
 on that.


Sorry for the delay all, and thanks for the kind notes. The ops meetup
will indeed return in Paris. Standby for details and planning etherpad
any day now - on the openstack-operators mailing list.


Regards,


Tom

 I think those discussions could happen in a cross-project workshop.
 We'll run 2 or 3 of those in parallel all day Tuesday, so there is

Thanks Thierry:

The etherpad to co-ordinate discussions and priortization of third party
items has been created:

It will be announced at the third party meeting today:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ThirdParty#09.2F15.2F14
and is linked on this etherpad:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/kilo-crossproject-summit-topics which
is linked from this page: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Summit/Planning

Be sure to read the instructions at the top of the etherpad, which state:
This is the planning document for the third party items we would like to
discuss at Kilo Summit in Paris, November 2014
Please add items below, they will be discussed at the weekly third party
meeting and top priorities will be selected. If there is an item which
is of particular importance to you, I highly recommend that you or a
delegate regularly attend the weekly third party meetings so that others
may understand your perspective and take it into account when item
priority is decided. While we welcome your submission and especially
your participation, adding items to this etherpad is not a guarantee
that your item will be dicussed during the alloted time, we will have to
prioritize items to fit our timeslot.

Weekly third party meeting:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ThirdParty

Please bring any questions to todays or a subsequent third party meeting
so we may discuss them.

Thank you,

[openstack-dev] [all] Design Summit planning

2014-09-12 Thread Thierry Carrez
Hi everyone,

I visited the Paris Design Summit space on Monday and confirmed that it
should be possible to split it in a way that would allow to have
per-program contributors meetups on the Friday. The schedule would go
as follows:

Tuesday: cross-project workshops
Wednesday, Thursday: traditional scheduled slots
Friday: contributors meetups

We'll also have pods available all 4 days for more ad-hoc small meetings.

In the mean time, we need to discuss how we want to handle the selection
of session topics.

In past summits we used a Design-Summit-specific session suggestion
website, and PTLs would approve/deny them. This setup grew less and less
useful: session topics were selected collaboratively on etherpads,
discussed in meetings, and finally filed/reorganized/merged on the
website just before scheduling. Furthermore, with even less scheduled
slots, we would have to reject most of the suggestions, which is more
frustrating for submitters than the positive experience of joining team
meetings to discuss which topics are the most important. Finally, topics
will need to be split between scheduled sessions and the contributors
meetup agenda, and that's easier to do on an Etherpad anyway.

This is why I'd like to suggest that all programs use etherpads to
collect important topics, select which ones would get in the very few
scheduled slots we'll have left, which will get discussed in the
contributors meetup, and which are better left for a pod discussion.
I suggest we all use IRC team meetings to collaboratively discuss that
content between interested contributors.

To simplify the communication around this, I tried to collect the
already-announced etherpads on a single page at:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Summit/Planning

Please add any that I missed !

If you think this is wrong and think the design summit suggestion
website is a better way to do it, let me know why! If some programs
really can't stand the 'etherpad/IRC' approach I'll see how we can spin
up a limited instance.

I think this is fine, especially if it's a better reflection of reality
and lets the teams work more efficiently.

However, one of the benefits of the old submission system was the
clarity of the process and openness to submissions from anyone.  We
don't want to be in a situation where non-core folks feel like they have
a harder time submitting a session.

Once this is settled, as long as the wiki pages [1][2] reflect the

 progress. I am feeling that as a group folks have questions and concerns

 What day and where would be the mutually constructive venue?
 
 I held off on Joe's thread since third party ci affects 4 or 5 programs,
 not enough to qualify in my mind as a topic that is OpenStack wide, but
 the programs it affects are quite affected, so I do feel it is time to
 mention it.

I think those discussions could happen in a cross-project workshop.
We'll run 2 or 3 of those in parallel all day Tuesday, so there is
definitely room there.

Thank you, I will co-ordinate with the group on an etherpad and start to
prioritize items that we want to discuss.

Thanks Thierry,
Anita.

 I think this is fine, especially if it's a better reflection of reality
 and lets the teams work more efficiently.

+1 this is the direction that Keystone's summit session planning was
naturally headed. The session submission website was headed in a direction
where it felt like more of a formality that didn't quite serve its intended
purpose (aggregating and organizing discussion ideas), and didn't
particularly benefit the community as a result, than it felt like a useful
tool.

The scheduling piece of it (which mapped topics to timeslots and pushed to
sched.org), which I presume most non-PTLs ever saw, generally worked great.

 However, one of the benefits of the old submission system was the
 clarity of the process and openness to submissions from anyone.  We
 don't want to be in a situation where non-core folks feel like they have
 a harder time submitting a session.

I really hope that a less structured process will make it easier for
everyone to contribute and advocate for discussion ideas in a collaborative
manner. The design summit isn't about my session topic vs your session
topic, it's about collaborating with our peers, regardless of whether that
peer group is 2 people or 100. A discussion shouldn't be rejected because
the group of interested parties is too small, it should simply find its
place.


 Once this is settled, as long as the wiki pages [1][2] reflect the
 process and is publicized, it should be fine.
