Hi UC, As discussed earlier and proposed [1] in previous UC/Board meeting, the Product WG is working on next steps to facilitate the pre-forum preparation. I would like to get feedback from UC and various WG on the following: 1. Encourage moderators/participants to use ##hashtag to highlight actionable items or something that need attention from a specific project team or working group. a. We “pilot” this approach at Ops Midcycle at Milan. A small python program was used to filter all Ops Milan etherpads and here’s an example summary/output of the ##hashtag [2,3]. b. I will contact Infra if the python program can be integrated with etherpad API for easier data collection. c. How can we communicate this with Forum session’s moderators? 2. Provide a template etherpad for moderators a. Referencing the Ops Midcycle etherpad template, a Boston Forum etherpad template is created [4], please provide feedback. b. How should we encourage moderators to use this template? c. Should we create a centralized “landing/index” page that list all the Forum session etherpad? (like what we have for Ops Midcycle Milan) d. Should we standardize the url naming convention for the Forum session etherpad? (e.g. https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BOS-forum-<sessionname-abc>) 3. Document WG pre-discussion requirements into Development Proposals (previously known as “OpenStack User Story”) a. Each WG can utilize the Product WG workflow [5] and document their requirements by proposing a “development proposal”. b. Example of development proposals can be found here [6] [1] https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jTlO4UdNjc5cOKboeCNhLDEdttazWWlDgNxxulUrPNg/edit#slide=id.g1c401aad5d_0_142 [2] https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B733UR8kbomadmtsM0ZFWENXUzA [3] https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B733UR8kbomaSVhqQ3Y4NkFxTmc [4] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BOS-forum-moderator-template [5] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ProductTeam/Development_Proposals#Development_Proposal_Workflow [6] https://github.com/openstack/openstack-user-stories/tree/master/development-proposals/proposed Thanks! --- Yih Leong Sun, PhD (宋毅良) Senior Software Cloud Architect | Open Source Technology Center | Intel Corporation yih.leong.sun at intel.com<mailto:yih.leong.sun at intel.com> | +1 503 264 0610 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
