1 | Roadmap Team Retrospective: - What's working well?
- What's not working well?
- Ideas for improvement?
| Andy | What's working well? - We're identifying some items for collaboration
- Good track record of SMEs showing up to Technical Deep Dive sessions with a deck/information to share
- good (consistent) attendance
- Pooled resources for common problem is good
- Sharing common issues/information "Im not the only one"
- Good recognition by the OpenStack community as an official WG
What's not working well? Opportunities. - Original plan to form Functional Specialty teams and regularly occurring Technical session has not materialized
- No roadmap
- Make use of JIRA. still not use to the application.
- Difficult to commit joint resources
- Schedule gap between corporate financial schedule and LCOO schedule
- Misconceptions about LCOO in the community
- Viewed as 'elite', closed, clickish
- Have not yet shown 'community contribution'
- Meeting times are difficult with global membership
- LCOO meetings/activity is largely disconnected from the development efforts member companies are engaged in
Ideas for Improvement - Focus on one tangible success story
- End the meeting on time, having people dropping mid conversation because of other commitments can be a distraction
- Increase membership - in terms of more organizations
- Huawei - would be good to invite
- Could be more open
- (SK) Talking to Centurylink's internal team. Potential candidate.
- Explicitly include opportunity for individuals who do not represent their company
- If we have a specific objective, then we can call on people in the broader community to help
- At the upcoming Summit or at any time, AT&T is willing to brief prospective new member's management team on the Mission and Vision for LCOO.
- Is it right to have requirements for membership?
- Say 'encouraged' vs 'required'
- Should be real Operators
- Should be real contributors
- Do we still vote people/companies in?
- Confluence & JIRA - should it be open to anonymous viewing
- Provide clear instructions for creating an account
- Add to openstack.org page
- Make better use of Community email lists to advertise special sessions and invite attendance
- Refresh/ask for more resources from our stakeholders
- Improving error messages / logging is a good common opportunity
- more communication outside skype meeting/ slack, email, irc
- Should we set up an IRC channel?
- Better connect LCOO activity with the actual development efforts companies are engaged in.
- LCOO - the place for incubation/ideation phase
- Would be good to better clarify role of roadmap meeting vs general sessions
Action Items - Continue the Roadmap Committee meetings (this one) every 2 weeks for at least 2 more months and concentrate on the topics we've started i.e. Section 2 below.
