Open Stack

Hi team,



In Austin, a sub-group was formed to help define a process for AUC (Active
User Contributor) recognition.  This working group was created to assist
the User Committee
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/UserCommittee> (UC)
define its constituency in a manner similar to how the Technical Committee
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/TechnicalCommittee> (TC)
has defined the designation of Active Technical Contributors
<http://governance.openstack.org/reference/charter.html#voters-for-tc-seats-atc>
 (ATC)/Active Project Contributors
<http://governance.openstack.org/reference/charter.html#voters-for-ptl-seats-apc>
(APC)
and participants eligible to participate in the electoral process for Project
Team Leads
<http://governance.openstack.org/reference/charter.html#project-team-leads>
(PTL)
and Technical Committee members. The User Committee formally started
conversations to recognize contributions inside the OpenStack community
that are out of scope for the ATC designation. The scope for this new
designation is currently being refined but the intent is to recognize
OpenStack community contributors (such as operators) that are not
committing code to an OpenStack TC sanctioned project
<https://governance.openstack.org/reference/projects/>. OpenStack community
contributions such as code contributions to repositories under User
Committee governance (e.g. OSOps <https://github.com/osops>, ops-tags
<https://github.com/openstack/ops-tags-team>, etc.), active participation
in any User Committee working group (e.g. API-WG
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/API_Working_Group>, Enterprise-WG
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Enterprise_Working_Group>, Product-WG
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ProductTeam>, etc.), moderating sessions
at OpenStack Ops-meetups
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Operations/Meetups>, organizing OpenStack user
group meet-ups <https://groups.openstack.org/> across the world, and many
other forms of contributions are currently being considered for inclusion
in the formal definition of the User Committee constituency



During the Mid-Cycle Operators meeting in NYC, we discussed adding the
Women of OpenStack to the list of recognized groups.  To recognize
individuals for AUC status, we would need to track active participation
after each meeting, we are currently developing a form for that purpose.



I would like to know what the team thinks about this endeavor, and if they
are interested in AUC recognition.



Thank you.
