OpenInfra Board + OpenStack Syncup Call -------------------------------------------------- We continued the syncup call with Board members on Nov 16[10]. We discussed two topic in this call 1. "Less Diversity" and 2. i18 SIG. Most of the discussion was around first topic. There were multiple ideads were shared and discussed including: - Spreading and encouraging the contribution to wider audiance including large deployement, users, company manager. - Making contribution process more easy for part time contributorts. operators etc by helping them in testing requirement, process, half-baked patches to merge. - Reachout out to platinum members company and company executives to know the reason for not contributing in community and explain/encourage them to contribution. There was no concrete action or step to improve the Diversity but we all togehther need to put effort in all direction to improve it slowly. i18 SIG proposal by Brian about Weblate funding which is ~1500 Euro/year and this sounds reasonable to do from foundation but Brian need to write the foaml proposal to foundation before Board meeting on Dec 6th so that it can be discussed there is needed. Thanks Brian for working and following up on this. The next syncup call will be on Feb 2022-02-08 at 20:00 UTC. If anyone is interested, feel free to join it.
