Hey stackers,

Got some questions about how/when joining the Nova community at the PTG during this week, so I'll provide you a howto ;)

*What is the main document for the Nova PTG ?*

This : https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-antelope-ptg

Please, please, don't try to translate this etherpad directly as you'll see.

*I'm an operator and I want to tell you how terrible you folks are*

There : https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/oct2022-ptg-operator-hour-nova

Again, don't try to translate this document or you'll create problems for people who don't know your language.

*When do you folks discuss ?*

Monday :

14:00-15:00 UTC Ironic/Nova cross-project session

Tuesday :

13:00 - 15:00 UTC Operator hours. If you are an operator, please join us ! :-)

15:00 - 17:00 UTC Nova sessions for contributors

15:10 UTC (possibly) : Nova team photo

Wednesday :

13:00 - 16:00 UTC Nova sessions for contributors

16:00 - 17:00 Operator hour. If you are an operator, please join us ! :-)

Thursday :

15:00 - 17:00 UTC Nova sessions for contributors

Friday :

Simple. You can look at https://ptg.opendev.org/ptg.html if you want so you'll see what topic we are currently discussing.

If you want to arrive, just click either on "operator-hour" nova tag or "nova-placement" tag and it will automatically open the Google Meet client for joining the Nova meeting.

If you also want, you can directly join us by using this link https://www.openstack.org/ptg/rooms/bexar (we'll use the same virtual room for all our sessions)

*What if you can't join the whole days ?*

No worries ! Just make sure you use an IRC client and just go to the #openstack-nova channel.

Once you're there, add your IRC in the etherpad for every topic you'd like to be around and then I'll ping you when we start discussing for those topics you added your nick.

*What if I want to add some topic I'd like to discuss ?*

Easy peasy. Two possibilities :

  -  you are a contributor and you want to add a new feature in nova. Just add your topic in the main etherpad (link above). Make sure your name is marked in the topic title (like every other topic) and I'll ping you when we start discussing your topic.

 - you are an operator and you want to discuss wishlists or bugs or whatever else. Good news, we have specific timeslots for you ! See the agenda above, we have *operator hours* that are intended for operators to join and engage on specific deployment and operational topics. Just then look at https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/oct2022-ptg-operator-hour-nova and add your points, we'll discuss them during the operator hours (given above).

Hope you'll find your way and you'll appreciate the PTG as much productive as we do.

In any case, my IRC nick is bauzas. Don't hesitate to bug me over IRC (#openstack-dev, #openstack-nova or #openinfra-events) or reach me by email (sbauza@redhat.com), I'll try to answer you as much as I can.

HTH and thanks,

-Sylvain
