Forum Brainstorming
by Kendall Nelson 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Hello Everyone! The Virtual Forum is approaching. We would love 1 volunteer from the community for the Forum Selection Committee. Ideally, the volunteer would already be serving in some capacity in a governance role for your project. In addition to calling for volunteers for the Forum selection committee, this email kicks off the brainstorming period before the CFP tool opens for formal Forum submissions. The categories for brainstorming etherpads have already been setup here[1]. Please add your etherpads and ideas there! The CFP tool will open on August 31st and will close September 14th. For information on the upcoming virtual Summit[2]. For more information on the Forum[3]. Please reach out to jimmy(a)openstack.org or knelson(a)openstack.org if you're interested. Volunteers should respond on or before August 31, 2020. Thanks!

vPTG April 2021 Team Signup
by Kendall Nelson 01 Apr '21

01 Apr '21

Greetings! As you hopefully already know, our next PTG will be virtual again, and held from Monday, April 19 to Friday, April 23. We will have the same schedule set up available as last time with three windows of time spread across the day to cover all timezones with breaks in between. *To signup your team, you must complete **BOTH** the survey[1] AND reserve time in the ethercalc[2] by March 25 at 7:00 UTC.* We ask that the PTL/SIG Chair/Team lead sign up for time to have their discussions in with 4 rules/guidelines. 1. Cross project discussions (like SIGs or support project teams) should be scheduled towards the start of the week so that any discussions that might shape those of other teams happen first. 2. No team should sign up for more than 4 hours per UTC day to help keep participants actively engaged. 3. No team should sign up for more than 16 hours across all time slots to avoid burning out our contributors and to enable participation in multiple teams discussions. Again, you need to fill out BOTH the ethercalc AND the survey to complete your team's sign up. If you have any issues with signing up your team, due to conflict or otherwise, please let me know! While we are trying to empower you to make your own decisions as to when you meet and for how long (after all, you know your needs and teams timezones better than we do), we are here to help! Once your team is signed up, please register! And remind your team to register! Registration is free, but since it will be how we contact you with passwords, event details, etc. it is still important!
