#chaoss-community: Monthly CHAOSS call

Meeting summary

1. GMD workgroup update (GeorgLink, 16:03:18)
   1. The workgroup changed the day they meet (GeorgLink, 16:03:40)
   2. GMD has a status page that they will review every month. The status page shows a description of the metric and to what extend it is implemented in Augur. (GeorgLink, 16:04:18)
   3. the GMD workgroup is working of off the metrics committee metrics list. The copy in the workgroup repository is an advanced version that has been worked on. (GeorgLink, 16:07:29)
   4. There is a pull request to align the metrics structure in the GMD repo with the D&I repo structure. The goal is to present the metrics in a similar way. (GeorgLink, 16:08:24)
   5. The D&I workgroup introduced a new layer inbetween high-level category and low-level metric. This new resource page is details the goals and purposes of assessing a certain goal and what tools and metrics are available. (GeorgLink, 16:10:57)
   6. https://github.com/chaoss/wg-gmd Repository of the GMD workgroup (GeorgLink, 16:12:28)
   7. The way the workgroups work right now is requiring much manual work to merge with the metrics committee later. Also we have duplicate content now. - One proposal is to work in branches on the metrics repository rather than a different repository. (GeorgLink, 16:15:52)
   8. We are having much discussion about separate repositories and how to contribute to the metrics committee. (GeorgLink, 16:20:18)
   9. a goal should be for the workgroups to produce comparable outputs. The structure of metrics and layers should be similar. (GeorgLink, 16:22:28)
   10. the workgroups are responsible defining a process of contributing back to the metrics committee (GeorgLink, 16:23:21)
   
   
2. D&I workgroup update (GeorgLink, 16:23:30)
   1. the D&I workgroup is moving down the level of detail and filling out the resource pages. We left the last meeting with the agreement that we might have to split up and work on the pages independently and contribute them to the repository. (GeorgLink, 16:25:17)
   2. There seems to be some overlap between the D&I 'sub-categories' which has caused some confusion that we need to figure out how to resolve (GeorgLink, 16:26:10)
   3. some metrics appear to be horizontal and other vertical - we don't know specifically what this means - for example within the Project Places we have Sentiment and Documentation; Sentiment can be applied to multiple places... (GeorgLink, 16:30:23)
   4. other activities are conference related, session proposals and session preparation for MozFest, OSSEU, OSSNA, and CHAOSScon. (GeorgLink, 16:33:11)
   5. the OpenStack report is being prepared for the OpenStack Summit Berlin in November 13-15, 2018 (GeorgLink, 16:34:33)
   6. ideas for the report are welcome, please send to Nicole Huesman and Daniel Izquierdo (GeorgLink, 16:36:31)
   7. the OpenStack report is an organic process with non-defined steps and communicating the process is not possible yet, because the team does not know how they will do everything themselves yet. Documenting how the report was created within the report is a starting point. (GeorgLink, 16:41:28)
   8. the D&I workgroup is generating an umbrella collection of metrics and not all of them apply to every community. The OpenStack report has about 4 out of the 7 categories. The D&I workgroup work is where the methodology should be defined and made available for others. (GeorgLink, 16:45:14)
   9. we can start filling in method and resource pages based on the work done by the OpenStack report team. (GeorgLink, 16:49:02)
   10. next D&I workgroup meeting is Tomorrow August 8/8 at 11am CDT (GeorgLink, 16:49:20)
   11. workgroup meetings (for D&I and GMD) occur at 11am CT on Wednesdays (rpaik, 16:49:34)
   12. the next GMD workgroup meeting is next week August 8/15 at 11am CDT (GeorgLink, 16:49:37)
   13. the two groups meet every other week (rpaik, 16:49:56)

4. CHAOSScon coordination (GeorgLink, 16:51:52)
   1. the CHAOSScon team needs to meet again to figure out organization details (GeorgLink, 16:52:11)
   2. Bitergia is sponsoring 1000 (GeorgLink, 16:52:25)
   3. Question: Does being presenter at CHAOSScon also give a OSSNA pass? (GeorgLink, 16:53:19)
   4. CHAOSScon Europe will be before FOSDEM again next year, Daniel is contacting the hotel we were in last year. (GeorgLink, 16:56:30)
