<p>Good overview. Thank you!</p>
<p>One additional goal I want to mention on the list, for awareness,
is the fact that we would like to eventually get some consistency
to the pages that the 'Contributor Guide' lands on for each of the
projects. Needs to be a page that is friendly to new
contributors, makes it easy to learn about the project and is not
overwhelming.</p>
<p>What exactly that looks like isn't defined yet but I have talked
to Manila about this. They were interested in working together on
this. Cinder and Manila will work together to get something
consistent put together and then we can work on spreading that to
other projects once we have agreement from the SIG that the
approach is agreeable.</p>

<div>Hello Everyone :) <br>
<br>
</div>
It was wonderful to see and talk with so many of you last
week! For those that couldn't attend our whole day of
chats or those that couldn't attend at all, I thought I
would put forth a summary of our discussions which were
mostly noted in the etherpad[1]<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>#Contributor Guide#<br>
</div>
<div><br>
- Walkthrough: We walked through every section of what
exists and came up with a variety of improvements on what
is there. Most of these items have been added to our
StoryBoard project[2]. This came up again Tuesday in docs
sessions and I have added those items to StoryBoard as
well. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>- Google Analytics: It was discussed we should do
something about getting the contributor portal[3] to
appear higher in Google searches about onboarding. Not
sure what all this entails. NEEDS AN OWNER IF ANYONE WANTS
TO VOLUNTEER.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>#Mission Statement#<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>We updated our mission statement[4]! It now states: <br>
<br>
To provide a place for new contributors to come for
information and advice. This group will also analyze and
document successful contribution models while seeking out
and providing information to new members of the community.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>#Weekly Meeting#<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We discussed beginning a weekly meeting- optimized for
APAC/Europe and settled on 800 UTC in #openstack-meeting
on Wednesdays. Proposed here[5]. For now I added a section
to our wiki for agenda organization[6]. The two main items
we want to cover on a weekly basis are new contributor
patches in gerrit and if anything has come up on <a
href="http://ask.openstack.org" moz-do-not-send="true">ask.openstack.org</a>
about contributors so those will be standing agenda items.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
#Forum Session#<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>We discussed proposing some forum sessions in order to
get more involvement from operators. Currently, our
activities focus on development activities and we would
like to diversify. When this SIG was first proposed we
wanted to have two chairs- one to represent developers and
one to represent operators. We will propose a session or
two when the call for forum proposals go out (should be
today).<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>#IRC Channels#<br>
</div>
<div>We want to get rid of #openstack-101 and begin using
#openstack-dev instead. The 101 channel isn't watched
closely enough anymore and it makes more sense to move
onboarding activities (like in OpenStack Upstream
Institute) to a channel where there are people that can
answer questions rather than asking those to move to a new
channel. For those concerned about noise, OUI is run the
weekend before the summit when most people are traveling
to the Summit anyway. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>#Ongoing Onboarding Efforts#<br>
</div>
<div><br>
- GSOC: Unfortunately we didn't get accepted this year. We
will try again next year. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
- Outreachy: Applications for the next round of interns
are due March 22nd, 2018 [7]. Decisions will be made by
April and then internships run May to August. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
- WoO Mentoring: The format of mentoring is changing from
1x1 to cohorts focused on a single goal. If you are
interested in helping out, please contact me! I NEED HELP
:) <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>- Contributor guide: Please see the above section. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>- OpenStack Upstream Institute: It will be run, as
usual, the weekend before the Summit in Vancouver.
Depending on how much progress is made on the contributor
guide, we will make use of it as opposed to slides like
previous renditions. There have also been a number of
OpenStack Days requesting we run it there as well. More
details of those to come. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>#Project Liaisons#<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>The list is filling out nicely, but we still need more
coverage. If you know someone from a project not listed
that might be willing to help, please reach out to them
and get them added to our list [8].<br>
</div>
<div><br>
I thiiiiiink that is just about everything. Hopefully I at
least covered everything important :) <br>
<br>
Thanks Everyone!<br>
