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.
