Open Stack

Megan –great idea.  People are always surprised by how active WOO is and how they have made a big impact on each summit and in between through dev onboarding, support systems, education and really increasing the participation of women to 12% of summit attendance.  We have made It a mainstream topic and there are amazing contributions from WOO.    There is also formal tracking of minutes and attendance so it would lend itself to it.

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.
