KCSNA 2022 Planning for 20220926

A

This meeting is being recorded. Oh.

B

Hello, everybody: this is kubernetes contributor, Summit planning, kubecon, Detroit, North, America, number, 26th, I, hope everyone is having a wonderful newly fall autumn day. It's nice and chilly here and I love it.

B

uh If you wouldn't mind, put your name into the agenda, I will lazy, link it for everyone, and anyone see that kubernetes Zoom is continuing to do it, but you know dang. It I want to do it too. uh As this is a kubernetes thing, keep in mind, we have a code of conduct, tldr be awesome to each other, don't be a jerk uh with that uh lead updates, really there's only one big thing that Bob and I want to make sure we push and that's getting more cfp comms out.

B

um We. We definitely want to see a larger pool as much as we have on conference. It would be nice to have some more structured content that is not really focused on new contributors, but more applicable to some of the long-standing maintainers as well.

B

That's pretty much it. There also I think technically we're what T minus lesson a month, yeah mild uh any questions for leads. Otherwise, we'll move on to cncf updates.

B

All right, Brienne take us.

C

B

C

I don't have too many updates, I'm just kind of plugging away at things. um Let's see Deluxe flux, we are so close. We're working on just some final questions and details um and I think that'll definitely be ready to go and assigned and ready to announce this week.

C

Awards have also all been ordered thanks to Ray and all the hard work we put in on those last week, those who will be attending this Summit those will be delivered to the venue, um anyone that is unable to attend those are going to be delivered to their individual residences.

C

um Signage order is also being finalized this week. So if you have any requests, changes edits anything like that. Please let me know this week, um so we can get that going and.

C

um Sig meet and greet, we did confirm the space. The room is going to be 258 and 259, and we have that reserved Friday, October 28th and that's going to be from 12 30 to 2, 30. and kind of going along with that I'm also finalizing all room, layouts and requests and everything this week and next week.

C

So if anybody has any updates, if you need to change a layout or if you need something AV wise, please let me know as soon as possible, um so I can just make sure I get that in obviously we'll be able to make edits later on as well, but just as many as I can get in sooner the better. So uh keep that in mind, oh and going back to Deluxe flux. Also, we will be able to use their PA system, so um we are able to use or put together a Spotify playlist.

C

So if you want to start thinking of you know songs or playlists or ideas, um we can start working on that as well. But that's pretty much all I have this week.

B

Okay, so in the beginning, I was slightly worried and wanted to ask if there is any risk of us not being able to sign a contract with Deluxe flux, but based on that last bit, it sounds like it's more just time. Not things lining up.

C

Correct yeah, no I think we're I, don't have any concerns, I, don't see why it wouldn't be signed. It's it's been tricky because the person that is their event manager is part-time and I think she works maybe two days a week. So it's just been incredibly slow, going back and forth with questions or changes.

C

um So that's kind of been the hold up there, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be able to be signed this week, Google.

D

Quick question of that: do you see any reason why we, we couldn't say, update the website and all that with the information on Deluxe flex and send out Toms ahead of time? Even if it isn't, you know, 100 signed yet.

C

I'm gonna leave that, to you, um I mean personally I, you know just being myself: I would hold off, but I don't see why we couldn't either because, like I said I'm pretty confident that it's going to happen, um I just I would leave that up to your discretion and you can decide if you want to put that out there or not um like I said I, don't see any reason why it wouldn't go through.

C

Why it's not going to happen, and you know I, don't see why we couldn't share it, but I think that's kind of up to you guys.

B

I personally, like I, got no problem. Staging PR's and whatnot, but I wouldn't necessarily merge them until the contract is signed. To call call me that little bit of Parenthood.

C

Yeah I just need to like I said: I've got the the latest version from them this morning. um Deb and I are both kind of doing a final review and then once that's good, we just need to send it off to Angela part of our team and then she'll do the final signature. So it's like I said really really close.

B

B

Yeah I'm, sorry, Bob, I, think you and I are gonna, actually split brain here, I'm just paranoid about for some reason the contract not getting signed, and then it's like. We have to just kidding we're not going here and then we scramble right.

B

I would rather delay comms like four or five days and wait for the sign contract.

B

This is a weekly held opinion, though.

C

And personally, that is what I would tend to lean more towards that as well. Just err on the side of caution.

C

um You know it's easier to let people know for sure once you do know for sure, rather than to have to go back out and re-announce, something um so I mean as a best practice that is kind of what I would tend to follow as well, but again I'm going to leave that to you.

D

Yeah, it's mostly like I was just thinking like if we went having to delay like uh another week a week again.

B

I will point out usually I'm the one that shoots from the hip I'm the one I'm, the one that like throw throws concern to the wind.

B

um Brand, do you think we'll know by end of week, like realistically.

C

I do yeah I, don't see why we shouldn't have it honestly, hopefully midweek I'm gonna push Angela as much as we can to kind of get it signed. I mean I'm Nancy to get it done too, because I want to be able to finalize details just as much as you do so um I. Don't see why it definitely wouldn't happen by the end of the week.

B

Cup then I would say we wait and then, if by end of week we don't know then like we'll just go and start hounding yeah that'll be on us foreign. Does anyone have any questions for Brianna? Otherwise we can move on.

A

B

Is I do not see Jason on so we will not get a Content update unless one of the Shadows is on I need to open up the participant list.

D

A

D

Just because I I looked at the uh submission forms this morning, there hasn't been a whole lot in terms of submissions.

D

um I, think eight total, if I recall correctly, and one of them is going to be like a Tuesday half day session, um I had posted a list in chat last week of the items that people suggest like you know. They said they were interested in potentially hearing about.

D

um So it might just be time for some individual like reaching out in recruitment.

B

All right: well, this is uh nice and timely castlin. As I see, you were typing as well.

A

Yes, yes, I am I was just working on the slack message to the sinks for the um cfp, opinions on which channels in the slack you want that to go out to might as well just ask on the call.

D

All the main Sig channels, plus like kubernetes contributors, chairs and tech, leads.

A

Perfect, that's exactly what I was thinking all right, so I'll get that sent out. I'll also I also have a a tweet that I'm working on right now, so we've got slack, we've got Twitter and we'll want to make sure that we get an email out. I'll put a ping in on that to my Shadows after this cool, so cfp coms this week, slack Twitter email, other comms that are needed this week or imminently also welcome to comms with caslin.

B

uh I, don't want to be too pedantic, but Sig and working group slack channels. Okay,.

A

Yes, good call.

B

B

uh No I'm good.

B

B

A

A great idea, no.

B

It's not no, it's U.S politics season. My phone is blowing up every day. I'm done it's.

A

B

Okay, uh thank you, Castle. Let's move on to Reg.

B

I do not see nibroon on here yeah.

E

I will replace him so where.

B

E

Thank you, okay, so, where I just started growing and if you check the document, we still have like people coming we're just doing with your approval over time. So I think we could. We I'm not sure we're gonna reach limit of 300 people, but it's good. We, we are close to 200 people, so I think that's all for wedge.

E

um I have a question like relate to my expensive balance. Do we have like way to guide people when they go pick up the badge.

D

Yep there is signage um if you scroll down you'll, be able to see some of the examples that are posted there.

B

Yeah there's some examples from last week's meeting: yeah.

E

D

Then uh we'll also post, like on the site and like on Twitter of how to get there, because that was posting on Twitter was, was probably actually the most effective way of getting people to.

C

I can say this venue is much simpler than Valencia yeah.

B

Yeah Kobo is amazing, uh also Bob and I will be in town early enough. We might actually be able to do kind of what Lockheed did and do our own little adventure with George I. Don't I don't want to commit either of our time, because our time early, there is kind of busy, but we could probably step away for two hours make a little video all right.

B

uh Anything else. I know.

E

um Nope nothing at this time.

E

That's maybe for prion. We like had someone reach out about registration. This morning he tried to register, but it was like block. I can follow. I can post the message we got somewhere if that output for debug, so I, don't know if, like ensure the platform Rack or maybe the user I mean the person is not knowing how to wedge the summit. So I will try to post that somewhere, but.

D

So what I'm thinking of they registered previously were denied, but then got a sponsor later.

A

B

uh Awards with Ray.

F

Folks, uh like Brian mentioned uh the awards, have been finalized. Also, thank you to Mars and Joseph Sandoval with the awards. uh Our to-do list is drafting tweets to be sent on October 24th.

F

um Other to-do list draft the blog for for DOT Dev to be released on that same day as well. The blog will also will have the winners or we'll have the awardees and also a little bit about the awards as well. uh Do you want to bring up the award presentation formats? Unlike uh I? Guess we need to make a deck um and I'm assuming the uh Joseph, Mars and I saw myself will be the MCS of that, uh but like just kind of meaning there's just or in my head.

F

It's definitely starting to think about recording that deck and um making that uh and that's. uh We also need that update.dev for the slash Awards with the 2022 award. So that's fairly easy on the day of uh yeah. So um do we know like I guess I know the schedule is still to be determined like in terms of of format and timing. We do need to be cognizant of that. uh This Awards also just let me know when.

D

Awards tends to be the last thing of the day: okay,.

F

All right that sounds good uh I know for the zoom one. It was really fast. I know this will be much much longer with folks coming up so we'll be caught, we'll be mindful of that any kind of music. We should provide as well to be two words. Should we do?

F

You know some like the Oscar music or whatever you can, but.

B

I don't know I almost feel like it should be. Benny Hill I like that yeah um I, wouldn't I, would say, don't worry, but unless you have a strong opinion about what the music should be. I wouldn't worry too much about that and like we can yeah.

F

B

Up a playlist honestly, the uh the audio text in the back usually have something ready to just press play on so.

G

As long as you have the option to place someone off like the Oscars, then I think you're.

F

All right, uh I, don't know I'll just get in touch with Mars Just again about getting that deck ready again. um The other things like the tweets, the blog posts. That's I'll, get that going this week, sweet.

B

All right, Awards questions, otherwise we're on to celebrations.

H

Oh hello, um yeah only thing on my end is I'm working with Rocky to put together um questions for for trivia, he's not able to attend kubecon in person this time around, but I have still managed to bully him into providing content for me.

H

um So I think the only thing on my list, then, is I need to confirm if the venue can actually like, if we can have if there's some mechanism by which we can show slides I saw that we can use the PA system. So that's good, but um probably wouldn't be the end of the world. If we couldn't do slides but yeah be cool, if we could um yeah, that's really, uh that's really all all I got.

B

uh Berean, do you know offhand.

C

I don't but I can ask them about that. Awesome.

B

H

Be great thank.

A

H

A

B

Alrighty last certainly not least, Noah Ops.

G

uh The only thing I have up for this week is a facilities question, um because this is on Monday we're going to want to do a walk through on Sunday just to make sure everything is intact. uh I assume, because the people mover is there that the facility will be open and available, but I wanted to check and make sure.

C

I believe I mean I will be there Sunday as well. Setting up, we couldn't schedule a time to have everybody kind of do a walk through and meet and greet.

B

Awesome beautiful I'll.

C

Confirm um times and then we can kind of coordinate and plan something.

A

B

Okay, uh with that, does anyone have anything else they want need or have to have. Has anyone blocked on anything.

B

I will take. Silence is a good thing, have a good week, everybody. Hopefully uh once we move into October, it's not too spooky for you.

A

D

Think spooky is the amount of time left before kubecon. Please don't remind me.
