Revision as of 19:54, 21 July 2017

As the number of production OpenStack deployments increase and more ecosystem partners add support for OpenStack clouds, it becomes increasingly important that the communities building services around OpenStack guide and influence the product evolution. The user committee's role is to represent the needs of the diverse range of OpenStack users. The user committee is advised by Working Groups, each of whom represents different user audiences and interests.

The user committee mission is to:

  • Consolidate user requirements and present these to the management board and technical committee[1].
  • Provide guidance for the development teams where user feedback is requested
  • Track OpenStack deployments and usage, helping to share user stories and experiences
  • Work with the user groups worldwide to keep the OpenStack community vibrant and informed

[1]= the User Committee may request an agenda item for the Board's meeting.

How to Engage?

The User Committee and its Working Groups co-ordinate via the user-commitee mailing list - feel free to join and post your ideas.

Consider looking at the working groups and teams below and joining their activities.



Attend our weekly IRC meetings on Monday at 1900 UTC, if there are no agenda items that need to be discussed then the meeting will be cancelled.

  1.  Review outcome from last Wednesday UC WG Status meeting: . http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/uc/2017/uc.2017-07-19-05.03.log.html  Possible next steps to finalize:
   * Use Openstack-UC IRC as ongoing/virtual WG status  
   * Contact other WG leads to add their status  
   * Share IRC or perhaps summary with MLs:  UC, Operators, SIGS, TC, Foundation? 
 2. UC meeting as Video Conference and IRC.

  1.  Status Updates from the Working Groups.  Expected that we will go down the WG list below and the WG Chairs or their delegate will outline their current efforts with aim to encourage more collaboration.  
   * Things that may overlap other WG or project teams should be highlighted.  
   * Q&A aimed at bringing more people to out subsequent WG sessions (the session we have in progress and clarify the date/time and method).  
 It's anticipated this will be a monthly topic.

Structure

The structure of the user committee has been recently updated - see https://governance.openstack.org/uc/index.html for more details if interested in the way that the user committee itself is formed and operates. Note that a large portion of it's mission is to support the working groups which are covered in more detail below. Any input on structure is welcome; post your thoughts on the user-committee mailing list.

Working Groups and Teams

The User Committee is currently looking at a structure that involves Working Groups to conduct specific packages of tasks. The Working Groups have a defined purpose and goal, and produce work to meet their stated aims. Working Groups will have their own leadership, which will be responsible for finding volunteers in the community to complete the work. Working Groups should be allowed to form naturally and easily where a need arises, without unnecessary bureaucratic burden. However, some controls should be enacted to ensure effort is best placed, and not duplicated, so please consider the procedure below:

App Dev Enablement Working Group Active Patricia Montenegro, Christopher Aedo Cloud Applications Developers #AppEco-WG To create an environment where a diverse array of applications built for OpenStack can thrive.
