[SIG ContribEx] KCSEU 2022 Weekly Planning for 20220509

A

There we are contributor summit eu last planning before the conference. Coc applied, be excellent to each other. Let's get going registrations.

A

uh Step or or not,.

B

Hi uh until this morning, we I think we have 100 people approved more than 100 people approved, and we still have um 13 registration in pending all need to be reviewed. I think I'm going gonna take up that by end of the week, um but I still have a question about registration, especially basically, we have some people org members, but still not still not in that list and there's a risk they're gonna show up in the monday morning and how we handle that.

A

So the question is their work like they would require like they. They would fulfill all our requirements yeah, but.

B

A

Gone through the.

B

Process fully because they forgot or basically they're like it's, not the priority, I'm actually guilty of that yeah. So we have a bunch of people in that situation because, basically, I would say the ogs of the community so how cncf plan to handle that do? We need to have me or george on site in the morning.

C

Well, if they're approved in the reg form, then it's not an issue, but if they're unapproved, they just won't be able to access the space.

D

So the the way we have handled this in the past is we send out a notification. You must register by um like friday or something like that. Usually that final notice like as you like, you know you make sure it's in the subject line be like registration closes this you know on friday or something like that, um but that severely limits the people that just sort of show up and need to be registered.

D

um It's we've. We only usually wind up with a couple people at most that way that wind up having to like potentially resolve something later. Okay,.

B

E

B

Send the notification like, oh you need to you- need to handle your registration by friday, distillations like sunday night, because, basically sunday night on monday morning, you're gonna have people show up and say: oh I'm, an og member. I want to go to contribute to summit, but I forgot to register us.

D

Like I would just handle those on a case-by-case basis, if they meet all the criteria, then, like sure whatever, but the the sending out the notification that, like hey registration, closes friday or you know, if we want to do it like closes saturday or something like that,.

F

We don't have the ability to print badges there, so, even if we okay them, they need to get sent back down to registration yeah, um I'm assuming that.

A

F

A question of what's a practical way for us to okay people, if we're sending them back down to registration.

A

I think they couldn't even come up right. They wouldn't see us because they cannot get into the specs. They would have to somehow message us.

C

They'd have to just get past. You know our team on that floor because there are other things happening within this building.

C

I don't recall this being a huge issue. Previously, we've maybe had one or two people. If you just connect them with me, I'll get them registered, and then I can update their badge right there. I won't be able to print it all hand right on it, um which is super easy to do.

D

And I I wouldn't worry too much about having to make plans to accommodate, like a large number of these or anything like that. um Just as long as we send someone like hey, reggie's, close is on this date. um People also have to understand like well, maybe not for the for this particular contributor summit, but for for computer science, we need to have like some lead time to figure out. You know, space requirements and and how many, like other things.

F

um So so all that does say that we need a last set of uh comms, like ideally today or tomorrow, um reminding people of the deadline of friday for final registration, yeah.

D

And it should be separate from the know before you go. Yes,.

F

Well, because no before you go is only going to people who are already registered so yeah.

F

Okay, I guess I'll wait and bring that up. Durian.

A

And I think that's all for me um additionally, as we had that question last time um as we're now above 100, we won't just give an okay to wait list of people that have not met all the requirements right, just to confirm.

F

We'll send them to deb in the event that it's um practical to do so yeah.

A

I mean I mean just the the currently pending the waitlisted people, where we said they're. They are not meeting requirements right. Okay,.

C

Well, we're going to have an answer on everyone by friday, so we can send declined to those that aren't being accepted, correct.

A

C

We can't just leave them waiting in that pending kind of realm. No.

A

Let's, let's give them an answer: yes, yeah, that's also fair for travel and stuff. I mean most probably people have been planning trouble before, but still.

A

C

Is that all for reg, I can move on to cons.

B

uh Last thing: please um use the staffing post by nigel in the chat and because in the list I don't really see all the people just something we need to do this week.

G

C

Perfect, okay. First, I want to introduce someone else that is on the call with us. Since we have a visitor, uh this is brian alves alvey's. I think I said that right. You can tell me if I did I'm wrong sorry. um She recently joined the cncf events team. It's going and is going to be helping out with kcs eu um she'll, be on site with me kind of learning the ropes and seeing what you all do.

C

So I wanted her to join a meeting before um we got on site so that she could kind of pick up on. What's going on so.

F

A

H

Here in case, anybody else sorry.

G

H

It happens a lot perfect.

C

uh Awesome: okay! Well for comms, the pre-event email is currently being built out right now that should go out later today, if not first thing tomorrow, eu time um are we planning to do a post event, email.

A

What's usually in there.

D

A

Remember the survey.

D

Right, yes, the one thing is like honestly: I don't know if we need to do a survey for this round, because this will probably be the last event where we do this, like very unconference, unexpected type thing we use it more when we have like we actually have more like a specific content strategy and then try and get people's thoughts on sessions and things like that yeah. I also.

A

Didn't uh open kind of the feedback stuff on.

F

Sketch the, I think it would be good to do at least a you know: how did you feel about it, etc survey.

F

So when would we need that, together by deb.

C

So we need at least three days to build something typically. So that's why I wanted to get it on everyone's radar now, so you could plan accordingly, um so we don't run into the same problem as the pre-event. I want to make sure things go out on time, if possible. So, okay, so.

F

um Kind of if anybody.

A

Else wants to work with.

F

Me on a simple: how did you feel about the contributor summit sure survey, cool okay, we'll follow up on slack.

C

Awesome and then well, you just add the comms to that comms doc there when it's ready to go and then we'll take it from there.

C

Yes, I'm hoping yep awesome. Thank you a reminder that if you are going to be there sunday may 15th at 4 p.m, we're doing our on-site walk-through, I'm happy to have you join us if you like a calendar, invite just send me a slack or an email, and I will add you to it. Otherwise I will you're welcome to show up on site um and we'll see. You then.

A

And for comms there is also that deadline.

A

What do we call it do our die message.

G

Which needs to be added to our tracking list right.

A

G

And that'll be an email.

A

Plus twitter, I guess.

F

Yeah, that's true volunteer to write that.

G

I think we have. We have two promotional tweets already planned for may 11th when it eu friendly time when it us friendly time um to mention that it closes on friday. So that goes out on wednesday saying it closes on friday.

A

G

Don't know if that's sufficient.

A

I think that's good good last minute giving a sense of urgency. I.

G

Can add in one more to on, like day of be like this? Is your last chance.

G

Maybe add another one: tomorrow too I mean I could do one each day this week. If we want.

G

Maybe that'd be too much.

A

I think two are fine.

G

Okay, we'll need to set up another email in our email tracking list for the do or die.

G

Should we go through the comms um sheet.

D

Yeah just walk.

G

Through all of the things sounds good, quick.

D

Thing, uh nigel, you have your hand up. Oh yeah didn't see.

G

I

If we were walking is the music really loud I can type. If not, if it is it's still, okay, we.

J

Can't hear you.

I

Okay, cool um yeah, I'm in the airport, waiting for a flight to granada so like the music is just unbearably loud. um What an airport I have a text. I have the text ready for the tweet if you're going through the list and it'll come up, but I have text that I wanted to use. It fits the character limit, just dropped it in the chat. um If that looks good, then I'm good to go with the tweet I'll hit the file. The issue right now.

G

Yeah sounds good, go ahead. um Well, actually it has a link in it. Did you test it on twitter.

I

uh I'm sure it's going to shorten that link on twitter so, like I'm, I know.

G

It will on twitter, but our automation on github.

I

G

I

So I might have to schedule.

G

I

Oh okay, yeah! I did not, I just copied and pasted it like. I was about to tweet it and it fit the character limit.

G

Yeah, so I probably need to do it manually, but it looks good to me. I can go ahead and do that for you.

I

Okay, should I punch file the issue.

G

um Sure you can and then I'll make sure to update it there. So you know it's been sent and everything and also paint you on slack. If you want.

I

Oh, I did it wrong. um Okay, wait hold on. Oh I see I see I see I. I am not on my a game today from.

E

An airport oh waiting before your.

F

Flight- I can't imagine I.

E

Can't imagine what.

I

G

Okay also, here's the document that.

I

G

At if anyone wants to look.

I

Okay, the issue is filed. I will drop the link for the issue.

E

G

So I added in the do or die email as well as another tweet to be scheduled for friday. um We mentioned the pre-event. No, before you go a little bit, are we all good to go there? Deb.

C

Yeah, it's being built out right now and then we'll get it out either tonight or first thing tomorrow morning, cool sounds good.

I

When do we want the unconference one to go out, I'm just a little concerned because we've gotten no submissions and I publicized it a little bit like within my networks and nobody wrote anything and I'm.

F

Yeah, a little worried, yeah, well, there's and and I've had two people approach me about specific topics and I've forwarded them to the issue and they have not posted anything.

G

I don't think we're planning to do an email specifically about the unconference. Do we need to add one.

I

I I don't know if a whole email is necessary, though maybe I don't know I'll defer to y'all's judgment.

A

It's definitely in the nor before no before you go right, yeah. I think we added it there and then we have the tweets.

D

I I think, honestly right now, I don't know if we'll actually get any pre-conference submissions, just because, like everyone is at this point, focused on the road to kubecon yeah, just.

A

D

G

We were also planning to send out another email about the sig meet and greet which is in our email planning here.

B

Yeah over there actually sent it.

G

A

Can we set one already.

F

A

One message.

F

Went out because I've got a bunch of people.

A

I do remember we sent one out.

F

Time to follow my own public links because I can't find the doc I always do the same so.

F

Oh right, it's in my personal drive. That's why.

F

Yeah because we've had 12 sigs sign up actually, so the message has been pretty effective. I mean, obviously I don't mind reminding people again, but so it was pretty good yeah, that's a good number yeah, but but.

D

Yes, but I feel.

F

Like I feel like, we've gotten as many as we've had didn't, need these things so.

F

The um um so if this week is getting crowded with announcements, um then don't worry about it. um What I should put in your list is a tweet for during kubecon um to remind attendees that the meet and greet is happening. Okay,.

G

F

G

Them scheduled for monday, wednesday and friday.

F

Oh, that's, perfect! Okay, you already got that. Do I need do you need text for it.

G

uh That is a good question. Let me see if those have been claimed in our sheet. We've got quite a few help. uh Quite a few folks helping to write all the tweets for this sig meet and greet reminder. No one has claimed. I don't think anyone has claimed any of them. So if you want to, you are welcome any tweets that don't get written by this friday. I will write myself, so you can either leave it to me or do it yourself either way.

F

We'll see how the rest of the week goes, then.

A

Yeah so we scratch the additional email.

A

And we we add the tweets, no, we have the tweets in the list already. I see.

G

Already there yeah.

A

G

We'll scratch this one, the email or.

A

Josh, did you you wanna.

E

Keep it tentatively.

F

Oh, you mean the additional email this week. Yes yeah. um I mean I don't mind it going out, but I would drop it to the lowest priority. So if you've got too many messages going out that one could get cut because apparently the first one was was had high visibility.

G

We do have an email draft ready to go in the notes, pretty much. It should be good. I think yeah.

F

I'm just saying I want to leave it up to the comms team's judgment on. Are we sending out too much stuff and and if so, you can cut that otherwise go ahead and send it out.

G

It does say they wanted to send it to sig leads and kdev, so we should be able to handle that so yeah, okay,.

A

We don't have any other message for that. Those lists, besides the duo, die right.

G

Yeah, I think we can probably send it out. It's fine do or die pre-event email which deb is handling and then a sig meet and greet email. So we can probably do that. We can work that out. um We did want to add the unconference information to the pre-event. Now before you go, I'm not sure if that's already in the draft or.

A

Pretty sure it's in the draft, okay.

G

Cool, I think we do mention it. At least I don't know if we have like the link.

A

I think I added the link. Oh.

G

A

G

Okay, so we're.

K

L

G

Go yep we're good to go on that, so that draft is ready just waiting for send.

G

A

Those are all on the websites, including that link cool.

G

So sigma ingredient pre-event, you know before you go email and your guy email are the last emails that we're waiting for planning to send out, except for the post event email. I guess I'll add one about that.

B

G

Email need survey from josh.

G

And then the unconference uh submissions form tweets I'll, send out the one that you already wrote, nigel and if we need any more, I might add a couple more just to really ping on that. Since we need submissions uh during contracts.

B

We've got this.

G

Yeah, uh the slack blast uh josh. Do you still need a slack bot blast on the sig meet and greet in sick meeting? No.

F

I thought you did it already.

F

I didn't okay, I think someone did because I can't imagine we got 12 six signing up otherwise.

G

I would be surprised honestly if someone else it.

D

Did not, it did not happen really.

G

Okay, I didn't think so.

A

Email conversion is good these days, apparently.

G

So you don't need it. Do you still want one just for good measure.

F

um Yeah, and that should be the message that I wrote out there, which is the combined um meet and greet and sig meetings just so.

E

F

Know, what's for them in the contributor summit, et cetera,.

G

Okay and the link for that is the one that's in our notes. The summit planning notes.

J

Yeah, I I put it.

F

I put a section in there.

G

Okay, cool, I'm just adding it to the comms planning dock, as well as the notes.

G

F

Okay, you know you've got well, you have all these. You have this one sheet with all these messages, and I thought I'd put something in there for a slack bust.

G

There is some light details, sick meet and greet in meetings need this meet and greet sign up sheet. I just put in the link for that and then send it an eu friendly time. That's all we have on this laptop.

F

Okay, wait hold on.

G

There's a section on sig meetings in general, not specific to this uh slackbot blast, which is out of date.

G

Oh yeah and there are two sign up sheets, the one with the room details and then yours seems like we're using yours, though,.

F

Okay, there's a section that says: sig slack blast; yes, okay, that was.

J

The text I was thinking.

F

G

Yeah this one yep, okay, you see me highlighting it.

F

G

Yeah, it doesn't have like text or anything it does.

G

F

Are we looking at here? No, and I don't see you highlighting anything.

G

Okay, then we're looking at different documents. I'm.

F

Looking at the document called kcseu, 2022, attendee, comms plus schedule.

G

I'm looking at kcseucoms.

G

This is the dock that I'm looking at. It's.

A

The working dock yeah- that's.

F

Okay, um got it: okay,.

F

G

ah You're in the email planning, doc, yeah, ah there's a slack blast thing in there. Okay sounds good.

F

G

I assume that was where.

F

I was supposed to drop new messages that were composed and approved.

G

uh We did only have email stuff in there.

F

uh Okay was not clear.

G

Yeah, which I think it's better to use it that way anyway, probably so, okay, good stuff.

B

G

Text in the email planning, doc cool- we got that.

G

And then we're planning to send out tweets about the emails that are going out and that's it for the comms.

G

I think we've got pretty much everything covered in there. That's good.

A

So that's it for cons, uh reception.

F

Okay, um I first I want to find out if there are any arrangements that we have not settled from deb.

C

We're working through some things with them on like the menu and stuff we've already run into some hiccups, but we're working through all that right now, so we'll be good by the end of the week and projector av all that set yeah we're.

F

Good okay, um yeah and for the live quiz I'm going to work on a final list of questions with bakke um and and that printing I will handle because um it's just sheets of paper, the.

F

Do we have a location and exact location in time for the bus pickup, um because I'd like to add that to the contributor summit page.

C

Yeah it'll be in front of the venue. I can send it over with, like an actual word to you. Yeah actual words, so that we have the same meaning of what in front of the venue means.

D

That would be awesome.

F

A

F

Yeah, I was going to say right having.

A

F

At it in a map, the word front is not entirely clear yeah.

F

So I'm already like the main thing, I'm going to use sunday for is figuring out how I get from where I'm staying to the uh the conference into the conference hall. The.

F

So um the um okay, uh one of the other decisions that we need to make um is whether we are going to have reasonably have rooms, room for plus ones at the reception, um because I need to tell people whether or not um we are going to be accepting plus ones um before I get on an airplane this week,.

D

So uh I had a couple people reach out to me about plus ones.

F

Did you direct them to the forum.

D

uh There's a forum: yes.

F

Which is linked off of the contributor summit site.

D

Okay, no, I did not know about the form for plus ones yeah.

D

A

D

General social.

A

Forum has a field four plus ones. I think yep.

D

The person at least reached out to me, was uh like a month and a half ago.

F

Oh okay, the form didn't exist then.

A

So so we are at 107 for reception. I see say until end of week, we'd be at max of 120 registrations.

A

D

The uh like we can also um you know the actual attendance will probably be more like 70 percent yeah.

D

The other thing is like I know, like people that have registered, that already can't make it.

C

A um right now, based.

F

C

Fact that we're expecting less people to show, but also that you all are going to get more registrations between now and the end of time.

D

I think that's reasonable yeah.

F

Yeah, so I guess the question is.

F

um Whether or not.

F

Why am I not thank you, google dops, for not sharing anything, oh right, because it's in surveymonkey, of course, the um okay it'll, take me a minute to log in and see if anybody's already filled that out. So I mean, obviously it's going to be a minority of people bringing plus ones, um but at this point because the forum wasn't live until last week, we won't know the majority of people who want to bring plus ones.

D

um Honestly, I figured like if they were intended to bring a plus one that they would have reached out by now or they'll, fill out that form.

K

Yeah, so I have a question about this form. This is not just four plus ones,.

F

Yeah, well, I wanted to do two things there, which was um sort of confirm people.

F

F

I get an idea of of you know what sort of percentages we're looking at breakdown for transit um and collect, plus ones and kind of remind people that we want them to bring board games.

C

I have concerns with having a separate form that people are going to think. This is how they register for the celebration.

C

Dietary restrictions, which we've already collected, we've mentioned the board game things in the pre-event email, we're already providing the shuttle kind of stuff in the pre-event email. This to me, this is like signing up for something that they're going to go around our registration form.

F

Okay, yeah sorry, I put this in the summit staff channel last week before I put it up, but I'm sure you were busy with something else um because all hands the um so.

C

Sorry, I didn't get a chance to review it.

F

Okay, it'll take me a while, so what it sounds like is, we should have something just for plus ones.

F

Because we do need to collect names for plus ones,.

C

Yeah, if you're going to allow plus one, then I would adjust this. So it is completely just a plus one form.

D

Okay, can you take a look and see how many people have actually used it yet.

F

Yeah it just it, takes me a minute to log in because this is the shared account yeah. So the.

D

It's every monkey's kind of a pain in the ass.

F

Yeah but everything is yeah the um we have our choice between various.

F

F

Including the possibility of paying a small fortune for a survey, monkey team account, which is hard for me to advocate for the um there, have not been a lot of responses, so I can easily just change that to be a plus one form: okay, how many.

D

People have said, plus one in there.

F

uh Did do hold on.

D

One, um who was it they might have been the same, or if you want to dm me, uh that would also work too. They might be the same person reached out to me. Yep.

F

Yeah, let's do that and I just realized another flaw with the form, so I actually need to redo the form. The ask for.

C

F

Yes, it doesn't ask for who the requester is. So how do we contact them? Yeah the.

F

So oops, okay, so but redoing the form can be done in coordination with our decision. So um are we gonna say: plus ones are okay.

D

uh I would sit like plus ones are okay, but they have to. Let us know ahead of time like now.

C

Are we going to stipulate that they have to be family members or significant others, or something like that versus yeah?.

F

C

F

D

C

That's the wording.

F

That is the wording that we already have on the site. Okay, um is the wording we have on the site. Is a single family, member or partner.

H

F

And you know the, um and if somebody wants to ask about kids, they should email us.

D

I would say no one allowed under 18 yeah.

C

A

Yeah, that makes it easier to.

D

Okay, yeah. I think he already had an age limit anyway,.

F

Because of alcohol, okay, so redo the form and then announce you know that plus ones are going to be accepted. um The um the no before you go is going to have a link to the wrong form, but I'll do a redirect.

F

F

F

F

F

So, okay, um okay and then I'll add another social message. I guess on to your queue, caslin yep, to both. Let people know about plus ones and remind them about board games.

G

Sounds good I'll add it to the list to make sure it gets. Okay, okay,.

A

Social um content um josh, you you, uh you were asking during the week I think um about if he should do like sticky notes and uh oh right, oh right.

F

Nigel hi, hello, okay, they're still there. um How are we physically planning on doing the unconference thing? Are we going to do the giant sticky note thing.

I

Yeah, so when you brought it up, I thought it was a great idea to have some participatory element that was there that wasn't just on the form. What I like about the issue is that it becomes this like uh living record, essentially that we can point people to and say this is what happened as opposed to pictures of like a board that we can scrapbook or something.

B

I

um I I am very pro us doing the sticky notes in person and especially considering what bob said earlier about just fully, not expecting much participation in the github issue prior to the day, and it might feel weird for an event that we have that we're proud to be welcoming people in person for us to be like okay for the coordination part of this event. We want everybody to go on their computers and not talk to anybody. So yeah like I am I'm pretty pro us doing.

I

The sticky note thing I just wanted to didn't want to just be like. Yes, let's do it um just. I think it's a great idea and I am for it and I would be interested to hear other takes.

L

Basic logistics are just a question right.

I

I mean I'm gonna, I'm just like here, so I could go expense. Some sticky notes yeah. Well, I I.

F

Actually, actually have these left over from a previous one, okay cool. We will probably need something to stick them too, because that's.

I

Fine conference centers seem to be a poster board.

F

Or something you know.

D

Yeah well we'll figure out the last time we were able to feed the walls or the kind that you could use the thumbtacks in.

A

Yeah yeah that would be sick, yeah.

F

Okay, but I'll I'll, throw these in my luggage just in case sounds good.

I

And I've been buying a hell of fridge magnets at all these tourist attractions. So I could like stick some on some metal and I've.

L

All stained as fridge magnets.

A

L

E

A

Our office in a bit, so I can also see if you have some like uh cool moderation, material uh stuff at the office that I could bring like leftovers. That's.

I

Great yeah, like I said like I will yeah I could I'm pretty sure I can expense that, like I'll talk to my boss to make sure, but I will yeah, I don't know what the equivalent of like an office depot is but yeah. I will find some time this weekend to get some stuff.

D

I I think, between the cncf and all our various corporate sponsors we'll be able to come up with some uh sticky notes and other things.

I

I mean if it's unfortunate that the conference floor won't be set up, because I'm sure I can make a quick pass at all the booze and get everything we needed for doing it. Yeah.

C

I

C

We have post-it notes and sharpies in the pelican case we bring for kcs. So that's.

I

C

We don't need anything.

A

Else correct, yes, that.

I

Is perfect, maybe I'll get like some masking tape or something that we can like use on the wall or something yeah.

A

I

Organize stuff but yeah, I think in.

D

Seattle, we had it also like just take time.

I

Or yeah, I think.

D
