18:12:28 <armstrong> ok sounds good
18:12:38 <armstrong> any idea for the location?
18:13:46 <GeorgLink> #topic D&I Working group update
18:15:20 <GeorgLink> #info OpenStack is about to approve the next survey and CHAOSS is supporting the report, which is an ongoing conversation.
18:15:56 <GeorgLink> #info The report is planned to be repeated in the future to measure the outcome of ongoing initiatives.
18:16:52 <rpaik> armstrong are you asking about location for the next CHAOSSCon?
18:17:28 <armstrong> @rpaik: Yes
18:17:28 <collabot`> armstrong: Error: "rpaik:" is not a valid command.
18:17:37 <rpaik> the current plan is Vancouver, BC before the Open Source Summit-NA
18:17:41 <GeorgLink> #info conversations are ongoing to focus on membership and mentorship as a part of the diversity and inclusion work
18:22:01 <GeorgLink> #info the research into diversity started with the OpenStack diversity report and the next step in the research is to focus on mentoring. the OpenStack is a good place to investigate mentoring, because they have a lot of mentoring programs. The next steps are to figure out how to investigate mentoring.
18:23:44 <GeorgLink> #info What are correlations that indicate how well a mentoring program is working? Can we gather best practices for mentoring programs? How can we disseminate these best practices?
18:27:54 <GeorgLink> #info an interesting question is whether some groups of people seek out mentors more than other groups.
18:29:46 <armstrong> @GeorgeLink: I am interested in volunteering

18:30:44 <GeorgLink> #topic update on code of conduct team
18:31:19 <GeorgLink> #info we are still looking for volunteers for the code of conduct team, which is responsible for responding to incidence reports.
18:31:45 <GeorgLink> #topic Metrics committee update
18:32:53 <GeorgLink> #info Idea: move the metrics categories to working groups who are responsible for advancing and managing them. The Metrics repository will then only maintain the comprised long list of activity metrics.
18:33:23 <GeorgLink> #info argument against separating repositories is to keep navigation simple and all the metrics findable
18:36:30 <GeorgLink> #info a concern with moving metrics to working groups is that there may be ongoing development in the working group and not a stable version.
18:37:42 <GeorgLink> #info another concern is that duplication of metrics tables can create confusion which metrics are the CHAOSS metrics. A solution would be to have the CHAOSS metrics in the metrics repository and the working groups regularly inform this list of metrics.
18:40:18 <GeorgLink> #info (2 item for this topic) There is a pull request that tries to address our confounding use of the term 'metric'
18:40:46 <GeorgLink> #link https://github.com/chaoss/metrics/pull/64
18:46:29 <GeorgLink> #info the pull request follows the Goal-Question-Metric approach - feedback is needed around the new language for organizing our repository going forward
18:49:19 <GeorgLink> #info this new language encompasses metrics that are compiled from non-automated tools, such as surveys.
18:49:29 <GeorgLink> #topic Software Committee Update
18:50:02 <GeorgLink> #info Ongoing conversation around the value of GrimoireLab Percival as a data collection tool that can be used within other tools
18:50:53 <GeorgLink> #info a new tool we learned about is https://github.com/brianwarner/facade
18:52:55 <GeorgLink> #info A needed information is what metrics do project managers want to look at every week.
18:54:26 <GeorgLink> #info another thing software committee is working on is the granularity of metrics and by working with companies this will be explored
18:55:12 <GeorgLink> #info the software committee will be starting a series of webinars/workshops that will be recorded and made available.
18:55:44 <GeorgLink> #info hackathons will be coming
18:56:57 <GeorgLink> #topic GSoC update
18:58:51 <GeorgLink> #info We had a lot of interest. We asked students to do micro-tasks to show their interest (6 submitted micro-tasks). We are looking at these submissions when selecting candidates and plan on taking on about two students.
18:59:50 <GeorgLink> #topic rename chaoss mailing list
19:01:29 <GeorgLink> #info goal is to be more inclusive and remove 'metrics' from the name.
19:01:46 <GeorgLink> #topic move time of weekly and monthly call
19:02:23 <GeorgLink> #info move two hours earlier to be more inclusive of European members
19:02:29 <GeorgLink> #topic record meetings?
19:02:51 <GeorgLink> #info goal is to archive meetings and make them available for all
