From amy at demarco.com Fri Nov 2 15:14:24 2018 From: amy at demarco.com (Amy Marrich) Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2018 10:14:24 -0500 Subject: [User-committee] OpenStack Diversity and Inclusion Survey Message-ID: The Diversity and Inclusion WG is still looking for your assistance in reaching and including data from as many members of our community as possible. We revised the Diversity Survey that was originally distributed to the Community in the Fall of 2015 and reached out in August with our new survey. We are looking to update our view of the OpenStack community and it's diversity. We are pleased to be working with members of the CHAOSS project who have signed confidentiality agreements in order to assist us in the following ways: 1) Assistance in analyzing the results 2) And feeding the results into the CHAOSS software and metrics development work so that we can help other Open Source projects Please take the time to fill out the survey and share it with others in the community. The survey can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OpenStackDiversity Thank you for assisting us in this important task! Please feel free to reach out to me via email, in Berlin, or to myself or any WG member in #openstack-diversity!

You can read the current draft here: http://logs.openstack.org/05/592205/5/check/openstack-tox-docs/24a6785/html/reference/technical-vision.html Feedback from the technical community suggests to me that it's getting pretty close to accurately capturing what we thought we should have been building. However, there's obviously no point in developers doing this in isolation if the thing we describe isn't what actual or potential operators and users of OpenStack want. Thus, we're seeking feedback from the wider OpenStack community on the vision. There are a number of ways to get involved: * You can comment directly on the review https://review.openstack.org/592205 * Replies to this thread are also welcome. * There will be a brief presentation on this topic at the joint leadership meeting with the Board, UC, and TC in Berlin: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/12Nov2018BoardMeeting * Attend this Forum session at the Summit in Berlin where we'll be listening to feedback and discussing the next steps: https://www.openstack.org/summit/berlin-2018/summit-schedule/events/22818/vision-for-openstack-clouds-discussion I look forward to hearing from y'all :) thanks, Zane.

Maybe you just don't want to travel to and from the venue alone? In the tradition of WoO, I have created a GroupMe so people can communicate with each other. If you would like to be added to the group please let me know and I'll get you added! *Night Watch Tour *- On Wednesday night at 10PM, members of the community will be meeting up to go on a private Night Watch Tour[0]! This is a non-alcoholic activity for those wanting to get with other Stackers, but don't want to partake in the Pub Crawl! We've been doing these since Boston and they're a lot of fun. The cost is 15 euros cash and I do need you to RSVP to me as we will need to get a second guide if we grow too large! Summit sessions you may wish to attend: Tuesday - *Speed Mentoring Lunch* [1] 12:30 -1:40 - We are still looking for both Mentors and Mentees for the session so please RSVP! This is another great way to meet people in the community, learn more and give back!!! *Cohort Mentoring BoF* [2] 4:20 - 5:00 - Come talk to the people in charge of the Cohort Mentoring program and see how you can get involved as a Mentor or Mentee! *D&I WG Update* [3] 5:10- 5:50 - Learn what we've been up to, how you can get involved, and what's next. Wednesday - *Git and Gerrit Hands-On Workshop* [4] 3:20 - 4:20 - So you've seen some exciting stuff this week but don't know how to get setup to start contributing? This session is for you in that we'll walk you through getting your logins, your system configured and if time allows even how to submit a bug and patch! Thursday - *Mentoring Program Reboot* [5] 3:20 - 4:00 - Learn about the importance of mentoring, the changes in the OPenStack mentoring programs and how you can get involved. Hope to see everyone in Berlin next week! Please feel free to contact me or grab me in the hall next week with any questions or to join in the fun!

We are very pleased to have the very first *Diversity Networking Lunch* which os being sponsored by Intel[0].
