Open Stack

Doug - Can we also frame the discussion on "future" bug fix events to focus on encouraging them by identifying a window (or 2) in each release schedule for them to occur and then have groups (companies, geos, verticals) volunteer to own a slot and drive an event?

Thanks
Carol

Shane,

During our meeting today the TC agreed to request that the event be moved at least to week R-4, which according to the schedule [1] is March 7-11. As you will see in the meeting logs [2], several folks also expressed a preference for moving the event into the first milestone period of the Newton release. We don’t have a schedule for that, yet, but if you are willing to move it that far I can come up with some estimated dates for you this week.

Please let me know which of those two options you prefer.

Doug

After explaining my concerns, I suggested that the event move to the following week, possibly March 7-9.

He did want to get the TC's opinion of the new date. I've added the topic to our agenda for Tuesday's meeting [2], but also wanted to give everyone notice of that in case you have questions that Shane or I can answer before then.

At some point, I would also like to brainstorm ideas for avoiding this sort of scheduling conflict in the future, but that can come after we've dealt with the more immediate issue.
