RH Summit report back

    • Similar conversations as the past, just different ratios
  • KB

    • Far fewer explaining, justifying
    • People interested in what we are doing, seen as part of the RH equation
    • Not much new engagement, certainly in the vendor space
    • Great to meet people, but existing relationships
    • Board openness
    • What does it matter? Cf. other strongly-led communities.
    • Publishing of non-private agenda
    • Report out to community (public-allowed minutes)
    • Public meetings on video (Hangout, Bluejeans published)
    • Public meetings on IRC (agenda + open floor)

Office hours

* KB’s are vendor focused, not community-contributor focused
* Desire for more documentation
* “Why are not doing this? Why is this this way?”
* Attracts people who won’t get on IRC/mail/forums
* Uses direct calls as well
* Current problem is contributor-based
* People not getting there is more than just Linux
* Berkus observation that there is an unactivated CentOS community at DockerCon
* What are we doing that enables people to better understand what we’re doing, where we’re going?
  • Do people care?
    • People don’t want their bosses to know they are interested
    • The small people we’re trying to reach don’t attend MeetUps
    • People not at Red Hat are not announcing stuff from the project --
    • A small % of the potential audience might come along, increase engagement
    • Public input meetings v. having to meet people in person …
