[SIG ContribEx] Weekly Marketing Meeting for 20211203

A

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you're hearing from welcome to the december 3rd uh upstream kubernetes community meeting um or upstream marketing, meeting yikes, it has been a long week here. I hope uh you're all doing well, uh just a friendly reminder. This meeting is being recorded and the code of conduct applies, which essentially means be awesome to everyone.

A

uh Since we missed this last time, I'm gonna do it first. Are there any new people here that would like to introduce themselves or have not said anything previously but have been attending.

A

All right, so, let's push ahead. So any big wins this week.

A

This was supposed to be the joy of my day. Y'all come on.

A

uh I will say that tawan did finish his sig multi-cluster blog and wants us to review it. So I'm gonna at least put that in the notes.

A

A

Multi-Cluster profile that has taken a long time to come together, um let's see anything from last week.

A

How are the catacomb scenarios going.

B

uh Actually, the new repo has been created. Sorry, I have a sore throat. Yes,.

A

Do I I feel your pain.

B

uh So yeah, uh just today only the new repo got created. I'll put it, I put the link of the new repo. Oh.

A

I got it, I got it.

B

So the repo is here.

A

That one contributor.

B

Yeah so yeah, I have uh added two pias that are, you have to merge, but then we'll have an updated readme and also there is an integration that needs to be done. So I think uh kristoff and charles figured that out yeah.

A

A

Integrations need to happen.

A

With kristoff and who else.

B

Josh uh since it comes under uh like what do you say, my mentoring, subproject.

A

Got it yeah, okay, cool.

A

Okay, do we need to do anything for steering this week bob? I think, that's why you question.

C

Nope we're good okay, um as far as, if there's something on there as a permanent thing, it can just be removed. Okay,.

A

Yeah, it just says: steering committee support in the template, so just slap an n a on it. At least we went over it uh new items. Last week we were talking about the contributor celebration. This morning I banged out real quick comms for a comms update for that. uh Let me get the link to it in case folks want to see it so many uh md files, hack, md files open. I can't find it so. That's fun.

A

So yeah a lot going on there as far as.

A

Things in flight right, like.

A

We have awards to figure out. We have the the devops party game happening to bake off if you're interested, please sign up um all those things are in flight right now and they found the link.

C

That actually reminds me for the awards, um which would be a great person to work with on this, would be to stage all the tweets for the awardees.

C

um Yes, that would be awesome.

A

D

A

With that cool, do we have I'm gonna, ask the obvious question: do we have the list of awardees anywhere so yeah.

D

We do and I've tried to look for um twitter handles already. I have not. Everyone has twitter handles so.

A

In that case, I think it's safe to just put their name right like if they don't have twitter at all. Just put their name right and just say thank you for your support, move on right, like if you can't find it after the first search or two don't spend more time on it than that who should we share that list with, or uh I mean me and caslin, have typically been the twitter peoples. Okay, I think that's safe to say that anybody.

C

Else, I think that it's anyone who'd have access to the twitter account because they'd want to be scheduled for after the actual awards. Right happens, exactly nothing, nothing leaks before him.

A

C

That'd, be me and.

A

Kazon, I think, there's a couple.

B

Other people, but.

A

Yeah, it's like I'll.

C

Load up everything.

A

And tweet deck no problem and caslin and I can hack away on that.

D

Sounds good I'll share it today.

A

Thank you. Let me add that to the notes here. Oh no, I lost my tab again uh upstream. All right new items, contributor celebration.

A

Okay, could I ask for a note taker sorry, I'm asking late, but.

D

Normally I would but I have released things going on yeah.

A

I hear you no no worries, uh I'm just. I just feel like I'm slowing the meeting down as a result, um no big deal. What else can I can?

A

Okay? So, let's see.

A

Oh crap, now I completely lost my place. Okay,.

C

um Actually other thing on the subject of tweets is the twitter automation broken. I remember seeing a message around that.

A

C

In the sense, it's.

A

Not shortening urls that I know what else.

B

uh The thing is, after uh the change from the master, to main I guess there is an issue, the the automation is not working and the moment.js or tweet that has to go manually yeah. I was just going to mention that, so there is a pr that we merged, but it didn't work. Also the issue creation isn't working then so rajula has created this issue after I pointed that there was an issue uh like I tested a few times uh variety of ways, but it didn't.

B

uh The bot did respond with the message, but the pr wasn't getting created.

A

So this is why I asked: is there anything we needed to do before switching for a master domain and when people said green light go ahead and I merged that pr? I was like something's going to break, and here they are yeah.

C

Worst case, if it continues to me an issue, we can revert back to master until you know.

A

Right like if it's slowing things down I'll, just roll back that commit and be done with it.

C

Now the the commit and the also the actual settings for the repo itself will have to change. It's, not it's not too hard. It's just.

A

I just need to find okay here they are, I got it. She work flows me.

A

Okay, so branches main, so that's working or should be twitter together. Does it mention master.

A

Yes, okay, that I can fix too, so um I will take that pr as something that needs to be done to the forks I go.

A

um This should be a simple fix, but I don't know for certain until I fork and look through the entire repo.

A

A

So twitter is broken. That's bad.

A

A

Pull up task board real, quick.

A

All right, nothing going on cool minus this tweet problem.

A

Thank you. Bob.

C

Email announcement I'd be doing it earlier, but uh was also looking at the settings.

A

Yeah anything coming up other than contributor celebration that we should be involved with.

B

uh Regarding this contributor celebration, I just forgot that the blog post, uh like I don't know what will be there just. I have put some current content in that you know hi md file, so.

A

Is that the one you shared with us this morning, yeah, okay, yeah drop, that notes real, quick.

A

And this is for the full-blown blog post.

B

Yeah about the events and activities, so I didn't had anything for the devops games. I took it from the comps that you wrote uh just I took from the calendars that were available and I don't know how much descriptive we need to be here or like.

A

I mean like we're being pretty.

A

Conscious about not being too verboten in the email so feel free to be verbose in the blog post right like yeah, I mean I know I put in a wall of text to describe the devops party games, but it was literally the description from their website. So that's why I put it in quotes and so forth so on, and that just makes sense to me, but if you want to shorten it feel free um so in the blog post feel free to go like as lengthy as you want. Just use.

A

Good, headers and you'll be good.

B

A

Is lengthy or a short I don't know when when did we want to send this out? That's the real question before or after the blog post yeah we want it before um or do we want.

C

Oh honestly, like it might be a good thing to stage for like next week, because we want to, we will want to send more comms out next week as well. So if we send the you know one announcement, we have right now out today and then followed up. You know next week with a blog and more links and potentially like any other updates, because, like one other thing for the blog post, that might be good uh one of the um is there still might be a hackathon, but that we won't really know till monday.

C

So that would be a good thing to include as well so I'd say, hold off on the blog post to uh hey ray, which day is the official release day. Is it tuesday, it's tuesday yeah? So I ideally monday but monday, would what monday would be the ideal time to publish the blog post because tuesday, after will be several blog posts, yeah.

A

All right, do you feel, like you, have everything you need to get that like shipped the blog post, wise.

B

uh I guess uh just just skeptical about the schedule. The schedule is not prepared yet so we have a link uh for the schedule in the blog post. So uh what do we do about? It.

C

I'm literally have it open another tab right now,.

D

All right, I have.

C

Another wrench.

D

In this, so we're freezing the k website repo on monday. Oh that's the thing we do before the release that makes total sense.

B

Ideally, this would.

D

Be today and merged by sunday for sure, um whatever the issue to kick off, the freeze will be on monday, I'm not sure what time but typically 24 hours so usually monday morning.

D

Well, thank you for that. Okay, now.

C

C

The audience is smaller, but we we can also publish on the kubernetes dev website. Instead, as a blog post.

C

And it is, it is kind of the right audience yeah. I.

A

A

We have do we have a good relationship with the kubernetes I o twitter handle. You know maintainers, I don't know who they are anymore.

C

It's technically the cncf, but like both paris and I have access to it as well. Oh okay, well, that's easy and we can just ask them to tweet it and they will yeah cool all right.

A

um One thing I noticed this week: well, sorry completely tangential. Are we done with this conversation? Well.

C

I think the the one thing um with code freeze, I would still like in a lot I would probably opt to publish it on the kids.dev blog instead, is that sort of.

A

Like fine by me devo, what do you think.

B

Yeah, it's all right like I. I also think that the audience is in the dev uh site, uh like uh so.

C

It could be better okay, so that just that removes the code. Freeze, blocker um and we should hopefully get like we'll know on monday by the summit meeting whether there will actually be a hackathon or not, and that will, I think, will be the either go. No go for the blog as is or append and add a little section for the hackathon.

B

Okay, all right that works. Oh the block part, I guess uh events and activities so I'll, add more on to the devops party games a bit and the back office. I guess fine, but like there's a lot of instructions there, but uh instructions on who is hosting and what the charges were there last time. So if we get that on monday, we'll add them otherwise we'll go as it is.

A

Makes total sense to me cool.

A

Sorry, my father-in-law just showed up.

C

Also, sorry to interrupt.

A

Your thought, oh, no, you're, totally fine. I I was just going through tabs and I realized there was a issue with something. So I was looking at. The merged commits that uh matt roberg.

A

Put in about the the marketing council and everything else and the you are, the links to the council file for rural handbooks appear to be broken. If anybody wants to take that and fix it, real quick. It's like an easy, low hanging. Fruit thing.

B

Sorry, it didn't get you. What did you say now, which link is broken yeah.

A

I'm about to drop, I'm gonna drop it in chat here in a second. As soon as I find.

B

A

Sorry, basically, it is.

A

A

This this has got to be it right here here check to find this so like it looks like it should work fine, but for whatever reason it doesn't. Actually that was the wrong link, never mind.

A

Okay way too many github windows open here.

A

So the marketing council file is fine. It's all the stuff that points to that from the readme or the charter.

A

It's the charter. Okay, so let me fix that url, it's this url, anything that links to marketing counsel doesn't seem to work at 404s. So, like I said, easy win.

B

Oh okay, so I guess a lot of folks here like who are like starting up with the uh community could take up with that. So anyone interested just look into those two links and I guess it's easy to get it done.

A

Yeah, like I will happily sign off that pr very quickly. Just hang me, let me know when it's done yeah so yeah feel free to take that folks get your commits, get you into the kubernetes org and you'll be off and running um all right. Anything else.

A

I know we're supposed to walk through boards and everything, but I feel like we're not using boards effectively.

A

C

I think the only other thing will be to check for new issues in k, community.

A

Okay, let's see.

A

At least I can search tabs now. That's nice.

A

Choose nk community: what is our tag for.

C

Our area carrier contributor cons here is a url.

A

I've got it too.

A

Thank you is that the same as this yes, it is, are mine's shorter. Somehow, that's weird! Oh you put his issue. No, I did that too.

A

All right, if you put a label flag that'll, do it.

A

Even better so contributor, 2021 comms in progress, establish and publicize official community survey process. Is anybody on that? I don't even see comments on that. No.

C

Yeah, no one is assigned to it. Okay,.

A

Do we want to assign somebody to that now or wait till after the year or starting in the new year.

B

I guess regarding this: we had a discussion in the last last meeting. Somebody started a service process without, like you know, taking the official uh like uh there is something boss mentioned about it and he was quite skeptical about like we should send comps to all the six.

B

Regarding that we have a server process and, like this thing, is not visible to people, uh so that was the uh main agenda of the end this issue, so I don't know how do we solve it and like that's why I guess no one is assigned, because there was no clear cut for you on how to like work on this. So I'm.

C

Going to thank sorry, no go ahead. Bob one follow-up on that one. That survey should never have gotten like the that should have gotten shut down by the blog team immediately. um It never should have been even considered um so that the it was from an external party. It was associated with a specific vendor and it was a very badly uh phrased survey.

C

I would not consider that on the contributor.coms team. I think this is just a fault to make sure that people know that this service is available.

A

So can you link to things in the issue template because it would be great if it was just like? Oh yeah open an issue over here right in this other area. I mean, I know it's under communication, but yeah. We need to.

C

A

Somehow they're.

C

What do you mean by linking to another so.

A

We have like we have a issue template right, for, if you want a tweet here's how to do it, um it'd be nice. If we had do you want a survey and like that was either like an open issue here in the when I say here, I'm looking at the requesting survey doc there, there is actually an issue template for requesting a survey.

C

Oh well, where is that that's the nk community? Okay, that makes sense.

A

So this could be a good place for some extra documentation. I feel like maybe right, like we have the process, we need to advertise and advertise it yeah like first, let's get it like. If you want to request a survey, we can send an email like that out to kdev and or sig leads whatever this.

C

Is the process we do so one thing that is not frequently advertised: it's not def slash services, there's even a link for surveys there. Oh my gosh.

A

It's linked in all the right places, and yet it still doesn't work geez. Oh, no, the the the thing that.

C

A

The thing that happened have happened. Yes, shouldn't have happened. um It might be good just in our repo to literally copy pasta. What's here on this case.dev link and just tell people to go to that, do you need a survey there's already a process for that code here, yep, so.

C

If anybody wants to one thing we could potentially surface more is the entire the keeps services link itself, because that contains a list of all the different things that that is offered.

A

Well, I can share that, like I mean, there's a thousand and one ways to do that. Should we plan on having an issue around this and like potentially blogging about it next year, right like early next year.

A

Did anybody want to write that blog this? This is a slam, dunk blog post right did you know we offer these services to all cigs and community members right like and here's the list.

B

Yeah, getting it out will help actually like there's a lot of things that many people are not aware of.

A

Yeah, okay, I'll put a new issue, um not under contributor tweets. Good lord. Where is my stuff.

A

All right, uncommitted ideas: here we go, I'm going to use the project board, folks, board number 41.

A

Okay, it's on a board.

A

So somebody wants to take that feel: free working session improvements, new items.

A

All right, if anybody want to take that, take that card and go with it, so let me know I will help you if you need it, um if you don't know how to take it over an issue and run with it, let me know I can also help you with that. um So that's there.

A

What else bob.

A

I think that's it. I hope lord yeah there's so much going on.

A

All right, can you just say, assign me in a sign you can do slash, assign and that will automatically send it to you that figures.

A

Delete that comment then.

A

Yes, lovely all right cool. I will stop recording for now.
