Hey Liz,

thank you very much for taking a time, proposing and covering this agenda. It looks very good and I am happy that we got two slots for UX discussions.

I agree with Thierry that we should definitely cover as much UX areas as possible. Therefore I would like to encourage people from all fields of expertize who have interest in User Experience (no matter if it is user research, GUI, CLI, API, ...) to join our session so that we can group people together and search for the best way of how to cooperate and contribute to OpenStack.

Few inline comments follow:

Hi All,

I’m happy to say that there will be two slots (back to back) on the 
cross-project track for us to have discussions around User Experience during 
Summit \o/. I’d like to propose we talk about the following, but am completely 
open to suggestions from whoever is interested in attending these sessions. Let 
me know if anyone has any thoughts here!

1) Introduction of everyone in the session.
        -What role do you have today?
        -How does UX affect you?
        -How will you (if you plan to) contribute to OpenStack UX?
        -How active do you plan to be for the Juno development cycle?

+1. I hope that more people from various areas will join the session and we can find groups of people who are working in similar areas and connect them together.


2) Discussion of where are are currently in UX.
        -What components have we worked on so far?
        -What does our current process look like?
        -What tools do we use?
        -What has worked well?
        -What could be improved?

It would be great to figure out what are the groups of people and hear from each group what they did so far and what are their goals.

3) Discussion on where we want to go for Juno.
        -How should we improve our process and tooling during the Juno release? 
How do we track this and who will take certain action items?
        -What tools should we remove/add? (Jarda sent a nice e-mail proposal 
around yesterday that would be great to discuss further)
        -What are our goals for UX during the Juno release? (More 
research/requirements work? More designing? More user testing?...) Which 
components will we focus on? (Horizon? Tuskar? Heat? Ceilometer?….) Which 
features will we focus on?

I think the most important goal for this session would be to connect people together and establish a bridge between us, so that we can communicate, meet and discuss all together in an easy way. Thread about tools and processes helped (thanks all for your feedback), I am going to expand on it and I would like to share a summary and follow up on open questions at this session.

Regarding goals for Juno cycle - I would envision us to discuss more global goals for the whole UX community (which from my perspective means mostly gluing people together and finding a way of how to cooperate).

For finer goals (like what to focus on in GUI, in CLI, ...), I think it should be discussed in smaller groups (which don't have to overlap, so that people can be present in multiple groups). Therefore I think this kind of planning might happen: A) Later on during the Summit (maybe second block?), discussing each area separately.
B) After the Summit through channels which we establish.


4) UX as a program.
        -What does it mean to be a program?
        -Would UX make sense to be a program? If so, how should we work 
together to make this something we could propose as a team?

+1 it would be nice to follow up on this topic. I hope we will build on top of previous discussions about UX becoming a program:

* Email thread: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-November/019884.html

Thanks, I am looking forward to meeting all of you
