[SIG ContribEx] Contributor Celebration Weekly Planning for 20211115

A

Hello, everyone and welcome to I don't know what day it is november 15th there we go november, 15th um contributor celebration planning meeting. I will be your host today, um bob aka mr bobby tables, across all the things.

A

As a general reminder, these meetings are recorded and we posted to the internet uh sometime later when the youtube admins get around to it, um and we all abide by the cncf code of conduct, which can essentially be boiled down to please be excellent to each other.

A

uh I am going to dive right in. um I have this meeting conflicts with the kubernetes steering meeting, which starts at like 12 30, um so I'm gonna try and blitz through as much as possible in 30 minutes with that. um If let me drop a link to this again, hey josh, um I started stubbing out a schedule uh right at the top. I think that's the big thing that we need to sort of work out and get going um can share. My screen too.

A

A

A

Okay, there we go, can folks see my screen? Yes, okay, so we are in the week of november 15th and the big thing is we need to. Oh my apologies. I skipped intros, um but for the sake of time, I'm just going to continue with skipping intros. Sorry about that. um So the the big thing um is for this week. We need to stop out the website uh and get registration up and going, and that really precedes any sort of initial comms that we should be sending out.

A

um As far as who takes ownership of those things and order of operations, I think it's really sort of registration website. First, um does anyone have any thoughts on this or any other items that should get done this week?.

B

A

Okay, actually uh one other thing I completely forgot, um not to mention uh allison, had to step away from running the summit or the celebration, so I am sort of uh stepping in to lead it in her stead. uh So sorry for the sudden change on things.

A

Okay, as far as uh who wants to take ownership of this stuff, does anyone want to sign up for any of these tasks for this week,.

A

Is essentially uh okay.

C

Do we have last.

A

Year's uh also sending it out.

A

Yes, we have last year's form. We have the website from last year.

C

It's still archived.

A

And available on there.

C

You can put me down for the forum.

D

Okay, um a little more context on the website. Please.

A

A

Whoops it'd help, if I could spell that correctly so last year we have this page, it's essentially the home page for the event, and for that this is the basically place we are we'll be directing everyone to. So we want to sort of clone this, but instead of you know, past events have this be the current one. uh Other one is the computer, so it needs to now move over to uh to past events.

A

That's a separate thing. um There will be some changes for this year, like we won't need to like list all the different games here, um but we'll still want to copy the majority of this. Like you know the faq.

A

The schedule like this can just be like you know, schedule tbd type thing: how to join.

A

Some of this stuff will slightly change too, but for the most part it will remain similar.

A

The big thing is that we would definitely want is a at least this landing page here and potentially a copy of this faq, which will contain like the registration information yeah. Here we go.

E

I can I can stub this out and then archive the summit. Okay in one pr.

A

Does everyone think that they can uh get this done by the end of the week? I'm gonna get it done tonight, because I'm.

E

Moving you sure.

B

You want to do it and you don't want me to no. I got it: okay, okay, just making sure.

A

Okay, so with those tasks out thinking about the stuff, uh the upcoming things um you know stepping out discord, gathering um things for the you know the actual awards for the celebration, the um things like the bake off and all that uh are there any items on the schedule that we should set ahead of time.

A

F

I I feel like we should have the actual physical awards, whatever the nominees are getting hammered out at some point well before, so we aren't rushing after the fact to get everything ordered and shipped out. I know it was kind of different last year because you had to order them ad hoc like, but if we could get that determined that'd be great.

A

Okay, so when and that's mostly.

F

That's brainstorming.

A

At this point,.

F

Yeah, and would that be deb? Are you in charge of that budget or what's the um can.

G

We just interface.

F

Because what I've been reading is don't order. It on our credit card, make sure the cncf gets it yeah.

A

Yeah that that that is something we get to to delegate to debt.

G

I'm happy to take on any payments or whatever you need.

B

B

Question regarding discord. I just looked at the email from last year. The initial invite included a link to discord.

B

um Do we still want to have that in there or just tell people go to the website for all info.

A

We can tell people to go to the website for all info. We will not actually actually send out the link to discord or make it public available until the final week. So essentially, the the registration is more of like sign up to get like hey here's, the link to discord and join here type dealie. This is mostly because, like we don't want to have to moderate another property until you know until then right makes sense got it.

B

So something else.

A

uh Moderators selected.

A

Josh, were you taking point on the um which one call it um the bake off and crafter nutties.

C

Yeah yeah, so those are both um trying to figure out the cast for the bake off okay um and then, um and then we'll do that and I'm currently discussing in among the crafty folks both um trying to get somebody to help with the award design.

C

um That's hopefully not me, the um and, um and the second part is, um is coming up with an interesting artsy activity.

A

Okay um for the bake off: do you think we can just reuse the description from last year.

A

I can pull it up.

C

Yeah, I think so the only thing would be changing is the sort of the cast so okay.

C

A

Yeah, I will, I will link it here.

C

Yep and we might once we get that group, we might decide that it doesn't have to be a dessert okay, just because I'm I would be interested to see you know somebody.

H

C

H

G

H

I know I can take on the design stuff if that's helpful and also help runs the kitchen cooking stuff.

C

A

C

I could not tell who was speaking.

A

The uh hippie, oh.

C

It's hippie, okay, got it the.

A

um So as as far as guests and sort of event details, when do you think we could uh have that finalized.

C

For both of those things uh for the um bake off for the pan, you know, for the judge panel should probably be able to figure that out this week. um Among the things that I don't figure out this week, that I'm not freaking out for two weeks so got to get it now, um uh we have to figure out what the artsy activity is this week too. Also, if we're going to make it even happen, so.

B

What the! What activity.

C

So I realized that we actually have a lot of people in kubernetes who are some kind of artist ah um yeah.

B

So we should do.

C

Something around the celebration with that we just haven't figured out what.

B

Okay, sorry, I just misheard the word arty yeah yeah, whatever it is,.

A

Okay um next week, I'm also assuming it's kind of is a little bit of a wash with the us holiday.

A

Is there anything uh that you that you all think we should try and do or get done next week.

A

Okay, um I think that will just be you know, continuing with discord um and stubbing that out, if you need an invite to it, uh please ping me in summit staff and I will send out- invites to all staff members ahead of time. um Actually uh this is jumping down a bit, but deb. Do you think you could get us a sketched.

G

A

A

And what we can do for next week is add sketch page to website, and that should be pretty easy.

B

A

And I can take care of those next week.

A

Well, someone else would potentially want to like embed the the sketch page. It's it's pretty easy and sort of a copy and paste. We have right now.

I

I can do that roughly.

B

G

To confirm, since I'm requesting this, the dates are going to be december. 16 through 19th. Is that correct.

A

The let's see, let me pull up the count, a calendar.

A

We might do something sort of the week of.

A

December so.

A

I would say it could potentially start on the 13th okay, if we're, if we're doing something so one of for for context, one of the things we've talked about sort of recently um in like the contrabex meeting and a few other places, is potentially doing uh like a few small hackathon type of things like uh what one might be a sort of uh master to main migration thing.

A

Try and get people to catch up on. You know so, since kubernetes still has like 200 and some odd repos are still on the master branch and um oh, that might conflict with some of the other stuff with the mailing list changes josh. Sorry. This is going back to the contrabex meeting.

C

I don't know how the mailing list changes going to effect.

A

I thought it was just going to be like too many things at once. Oh.

C

Right, oh yeah, that that yeah yeah- that was the main reason why we weren't going to try to do that, um except we did say um for um for all of the smaller repos yeah. It would be possible. It's just trying to do kk or k community or any of the big repos. Okay, it's going to be like a hey. Let's not do this we're also migrating the mailing list, so.

A

As an event, we can at least have a the the great master domain migration week.

A

um So, let's see oh sorry, uh thanks for people have been taking notes.

A

A

Is anything really missing from the the schedule so far that, like we can think of leading up to the event like I know, there's going to be like little subtasks and things like that in here, but.

E

As far as the big things are we trying to plan out all of the activities ahead of time, or is this really creating the framework and then the next couple of weeks plan out all the activities? um I ideally at least try.

A

And get like the big activities down this week, um mostly, so we have content to put on the the website. So when we send out the comms like, oh look, you know it's like we're. Gonna have the bake off again or you know we're gonna, you know, have you know crafter netties and some of this stuff.

A

So if we can at least think of some of the larger events that we might run during it, that would be useful. They don't need to be fully planned out, but as long as we have an idea of them, okay.

J

uh About the awards, so are we gonna like uh present physical awards or some virtual thingy um we're.

F

Up sorry, cody go for it yeah there there will be some type of award. We just don't know what that is yet.

C

Yeah we're talking we're talking, design, um we're, assuming that it's going to be something flat, that it's going to be like a mini poster again, simply because we have to mail it to people and- and you know, trying to mail people. Anything sculptural is going to be painful.

A

And even shipping stuff flat has its own set of problems that we discovered last year. Yes,.

C

A

Enough shipping to canada was the worst.

C

I I I could have told you that yeah I I can you know from shipping pottery this is that I'm like I'll send stuff to germany, but not to canada.

A

Okay, um moving down the list back to the notes, um do we want to try and do uh shirt giveaways again last year is based off. If you are active in discord, the bot would basically give you a higher weighted chance of getting a t-shirt. I thought sig raffle went well.

E

In retrospect,.

A

um Me too, I think we just have to poke marco again about bringing the bot back online.

F

Did we have to pre-bake that thing with.

A

Cncf codes or yeah, we we did have to get the cncf codes and all that ahead of time, so uh deb.

G

Yeah just tell me how many you need.

A

Okay, last year, I think we do you remember how many we did last year was 100.

G

That actually sounds right, but I can verify okay, I'm sure I have notes on it.

A

I would be okay with doing a copy and paste of last year to make it easy. Okay,.

C

C

Are we talking about unique shirts for this or some shirt? We already have this.

A

Would be like the kubernetes shirt the this is the one that's available in the cncf store. Okay,.

F

Josh, do you have.

F

You didn't make any shirts for contributors on the this year.

C

Right, yes, I well, I made a design, but nothing was printed.

I

C

The um uh you're welcome to the design, but it'll seem a little weird since, since it's kind of directly associated with la yeah.

F

Yeah, I was, I was just asking it might be. I was going to say, it'd, be a good way to offload some of your yeah.

C

It would be wonderful if we could get our hands on the amsterdam ones, but I have no idea what those are these days.

C

They weren't anywhere, where they were prepared for being shipped.

A

um Yeah, I have no idea.

A

um Okay, are there any other contributor, focused events that we want to uh the reward design from last year.

C

I think ryan means a word.

A

Yeah the awards were um a little constellation thing. I don't have them handy, but I can like get there's they'll.

E

A

Okay, thank you cody.

A

Oh there we go hippy hippie's holding it up. If you want to see.

H

B

H

C

H

Yeah, it's brought up at.

A

The yep the first commit of kubernetes okay, uh so I have seven minutes left. Are there any other contributor focused events? We want to start getting going on now.

E

I could run an instance of iron chef and then we just you know let some contributors kind of sign up and then get abused by me. uh That is, that is pretty like from from an effort.

A

Can you say, can you.

E

Tell everyone where iron chef is so. I can have two to four people compete head to head at a random tech based contributor challenge. uh The format is pretty simple: if you've seen iron chef on tv there's an old one and a new one, it's similar thing.

E

uh It's also pretty much a cut and paste type of event. I have like the only thing I would need to know ahead of time and who is who's competing and then you know what I'm going to force them to do. Can we get.

F

Can we get, would it be too in your face to have like a like a randomized, drawing of who that is and if you compete, then you get xyz. Something like that again.

E

From my perspective, from my perspective, as long as it is a pool of people that have signed up and know full well that I'm going to make them do something so who faces? Who is fine.

A

I idea for this: if we, if we do want to do this, what I would do is make it a part of the like registration form and uh and then just make it explicit that the date and time that we're doing this is known ahead of time.

A

So you know, maybe they get alerted the day before that they're going to be on this. So that way you can, if someone's not available, you can go down a list.

E

Yep but again like from a set up effort standpoint once I have the people like the event is easy. I still have everything from last year or two years ago.

A

We also, as a general note, we have access to the contributor stream yard account which can take 10 people at a 1080p stream and broadcast it to youtube twitch and all that. So we have much better streaming capabilities this time and I also believe discord now can just tie directly into a youtube stream for collective viewing.

E

So that was one idea, and I know you have like four minutes. Another idea was, I think it would be interesting if and this isn't necessarily to rate them, but uh if we collected pictures of contributors setups, essentially we always see people facing this way. Let's show a camera facing this way. If we can and like show people all the different like backgrounds, all the different environments, I.

C

Like that that, and that could be, that could just be a channel yep, exactly yeah.

A

The the heart, the hashtag hardware, right right.

C

Pimp your setup, yeah yep, exactly.

B

C

Have to clean my desk, though yeah? No, we can't. We can't right.

A

We can't use we.

C

Can't name the channel that I realized.

A

Yes, yeah yeah, but yeah. We can definitely add a channel like that, because I know we have a bunch of cube enthusiasts too. That would uh their their keebs.

B

Yeah, oh yeah,.

A

It's like, I got my nice ergo docs hippies.

D

Waving his hands around.

H

We're also flying in all of the ii staff that can that can attend to the ii pad our new location uh here in toronto on the beach, and so we actually have a production studio we're putting together. So we could probably host some pretty cool online things with some humans to help put tasks to hand and there's a dedicated kitchen there for doing video, cooking and stuff. So it might be fun to be part of the food tivities and the the stream ivities.

C

H

The hallway track for kubecon was really fun um that we, I streamed the talks and there were 30 to 60 people depending on all getting the talk over the talks, and that made it much more like we were in the room where it happened. So, if there's anything that ii can do to help us connect together, we're using our facilities or the people who are kind of in house. For that week, we'd love to show up.

I

If hippie hacker and the ii team enhanced the hallway experience a lot, you can watch for it. Oh yeah and.

A

Restreaming stuff.

I

Yeah and drinks to me, and this massive five led tvs and his three cameras and yeah the whole iii team caleb yeah ask caleb how he is yeah.

H

D

H

D

I was reminded of this because of all the chef and kitchen references but yeah. I don't know if anybody else managed to pick a copy of this up at kubecon, but this was. I think this was a really really nice touch to ah also what I'm looking for. So something.

G

D

Community cookbook, yes, would be a really really nice thing to do. Maybe not maybe not physical, maybe I don't know if you can pull off the shipping for that. But let me I guess.

A

I think there's actually a virtual copy yeah like there's, there's a copy of it available. I think in the cncf repo someplace yeah. I meant, let's do something similar, maybe not the.

D

Exact same thing,.

A

Yeah ask people to like submit their their recipes. You can have the kubernetes, you know cookbook or whatever it.

H

Is it's there's an open repo? I think we can contribute and make it larger, and that way we have this. This is our our cookbook collective thing nobody's.

D

Maintaining it as of now, I submitted a pr okay.

H

I worked at chef for a while, so it's kind of fun to flow from working at chef with ingredients and doing things to maybe helping keep that cookbook going. There's a recipe in there from from texas, texas, vegan chili go take a look.

A

We we are very short on time at this point, something else I do want to uh just mention too for devops party games with like jack box games. We can now create custom lists of questions.

A

uh So if we can all collectively start thinking of kubernetes questions, that would be good for jack box games, we can pre-seat a list.

A

And that I can like create a spreadsheet for and share um well that we are, you know out of time for today, um if we have any other sort of follow-up items, let's try and use the slack as much as possible. I know, especially this team is pretty globally distributed, so uh the the more we consult we can. We can do there asynchronously the better.

B

A

Thank you all for coming and thanks for also being you know, okay, with this, like sort of switch out the last minute of things- and I will uh you know, see all around in slack.

I

This meeting is supposed to be one hour right.

I
