Hi all,

Unfortunately due to some personal conflicts and trouble with travel plans, there will be no Mistral cores at the Denver PTG. This means that we have had to cancel the Mistral sessions. I recently asked if anyone was planning to attend and only got one maybe.

I am considering trying to arrange a "virtual PTG", so we can do some planning for Stein. However, I'm not sure how/if that could work. Do you think this would be a good idea? Suggestions how to organise one would be very welcome!

We did a few virtual midcycles for ironic, and it ended up quite well. While it did require some people to stay awake at unusual times, it did allow people without travel budget to attend.

Initially we used the OpenStack SIP system, but we found Bluejeans to be a bit easier to use. I think it has a limit of 300 participants, which is more than enough. Anyone from Red Hat can host it.

We dedicated 1-2 days with 4-5 hours each. I'd recommend against taking up the whole day - will be too exhausting. The first time we tried splitting the slots into two per day: APAC friendly and EMEA friendly. Relatively few people showed up at the former, so the next time we only had one slot.

As with the PTG, having an agenda upfront helps a lot. We did synchronization and notes through an etherpad - exactly the same was as on the PTG.

Hope that helps,
Dmitry


Thanks,
Dougal
