Open Stack

Thanks Joanna for your effort.

I've raised hand to be group contact due to my past experience and
contribution in TWOSUG coordination for past 4 years and OpenStack Day
Taiwan Event Committee for 2 years.

Let's see how to have a meetup in May to share what you all have learned in
Austin Summit.

Cheers,

> Hi Michael,
>
> Thanks for raising this topic. One of the main purposes with Official
> OpenStack User Group is to promote the recognition of active OpenStack user
> groups with great community engagement. Although TWOSUG is one of the
> earliest developed user groups, however, there are some issues in the user
> group which prevent it from being considered as officially recognised (they
> are addressed below).
>
> Darren Huang (from gov perspectives) and I (from community perspectives)
> have been working closely with the Foundation towards recognising TWOSUG as
> an official user group.
>
> I've also made an annual plan for TWOSUG based on OpenStack official user
> group process and event policy, as well as asked for help from our
> community to turn TWOSUG official as soon as we possibly can this year.
> Please take a look at the etherpad there you can find what we should do to *make
> TWOSUG official*:

>
> In brief, the two major issues in TWOSUG are the *communication channels*
> and *regular community events*.
>
> 1) Most of the current communication channels (including FB group, Meetup
> group, user group website, Google group) are controlled and managed by only
> one person, that's macjack. We do value macjack's great efforts in the user
> group, however, we need him to open up on the communication channel
> management in light of the Foundation official user group process (
> https://groups.openstack.org/official-group-process). I've tried all the
> channels I could possibly reach him in order to solve this major issue.
> Unfortunately no response from him so far. If any of you who can help to
> reach him and get him to speak with Darren or I, that would be really
> helpful. I've been hoping to solve this issue within our user group before
> escalate it to Lauren Sell. However, we have been waiting for macjack's
> response for almost half an year. Wish we could improve it soon.
>
> 2) Lacking of regular community events. Speaking to the Foundation, this
> is another major issue that we should start working on. Once we have
> organised regular events to facilitate community involvement, TWOSUG should
> become official one very soon. That's the main reason why I've made the
> annual plan for 2016 and been hoping to promote OpenStack technology in the
> user group in any level.
>
> There are also some other minor issues such as lacking of event
> organisation resources, technical/non-technical sharing, diverse user
> involvement. But so far we are making good progress on fixing those issues.
>
> TWOSUS needs everyone's engagement to make it better, especially taking
> action at first step. Everyone is very welcome to join the user group
> organising team if you would like to make commitment into volunteering for
> community work.
>
> If you guys all agree, I think it's better direct the following discussion
> to openstack-tw at lists.openstack.org mailing list for wide and open
> discussion.
>
> Please also feel free to let me know if you have any comments or
> suggestion.
