One topic of discussion was the elevation of working groups. There was a good discussion about the CHAOSS mission. The planning for the Next CHAOSScon is ongoing. 18:12:28 ok sounds good 18:12:38 any idea for the location? 18:13:46 #topic D&I Working group update 18:15:20 #info OpenStack is about to approve the next survey and CHAOSS is supporting the report, which is an ongoing conversation. 18:15:56 #info The report is planned to be repeated in the future to measure the outcome of ongoing initiatives. 18:16:52 armstrong are you asking about location for the next CHAOSSCon? 18:17:28 @rpaik: Yes 18:17:28 armstrong: Error: "rpaik:" is not a valid command. 18:17:37 the current plan is Vancouver, BC before the Open Source Summit-NA 18:17:41 #info conversations are ongoing to focus on membership and mentorship as a part of the diversity and inclusion work 18:22:01 #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 #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 #info an interesting question is whether some groups of people seek out mentors more than other groups. 18:29:46 @GeorgeLink: I am interested in volunteering 18:29:46 armstrong: Error: "GeorgeLink:" is not a valid command. 18:29:58 GeorgeLink I am interested in volunteering 18:30:30 armstrong: thanks! can you please email me: glink@unomaha.edu 18:30:44 #topic update on code of conduct team 18:31:19 #info we are still looking for volunteers for the code of conduct team, which is responsible for responding to incidence reports. 18:31:45 #topic Metrics committee update 18:32:53 #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 #info argument against separating repositories is to keep navigation simple and all the metrics findable 18:36:30 #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 #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 #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 #link https://github.com/chaoss/metrics/pull/64 18:46:29 #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 #info this new language encompasses metrics that are compiled from non-automated tools, such as surveys. 18:49:29 #topic Software Committee Update 18:50:02 #info Ongoing conversation around the value of GrimoireLab Percival as a data collection tool that can be used within other tools 18:50:53 #info a new tool we learned about is https://github.com/brianwarner/facade 18:52:55 #info A needed information is what metrics do project managers want to look at every week. 18:54:26 #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 #info the software committee will be starting a series of webinars/workshops that will be recorded and made available. 18:55:44 #info hackathons will be coming 18:56:57 #topic GSoC update 18:58:51 #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 #topic rename chaoss mailing list 19:01:29 #info goal is to be more inclusive and remove 'metrics' from the name. 19:01:46 #topic move time of weekly and monthly call 19:02:23 #info move two hours earlier to be more inclusive of European members 19:02:29 #topic record meetings? 19:02:51 #info goal is to archive meetings and make them available for all 19:04:06 #endmeeting
