Agenda and notes for the Feb 13th call

· Bruce will be OOO next week.  Can someone else chair this meeting? [Bill Z volunteers]

· The outreach working group has the following suggestions for things we'd like to see to help community outreach

• A "getting started" SIG / sub-project to help new contributors get up to speed

• Office hours on IRC

• Marking LP/SB entries that are simple/easy to also help new contributors

§ Mark stories with "stx.easy" or similar?  Use stx.help.wanted - Bill to look for bugs to label

· This is something many projects do, especially in github where labelling is quite easy, eg. Kata Containers, "help wanted" - https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22

· Would need people who know what issues/bugs/features in all the projects are good for new contributors to label them, and then have somewhere that those labels are linked from (perhaps off the main website?). 

§ Define new stories for easy but not yet staffed efforts e.g. Unit Testing?  

§ Posting a todo list?

§ Ask each sub-project to identify easy work items in their domains?

• A series of blog posts in the OSF blog about the new features in the May release (to be posted post May)

§ e.g containers, distributed cloud, CentOS 7.6, Ceph 13, etc...

§ Brent to write a container blog.

• Meanwhile please do everything you can to spread the word about StarlingX within your company and communities, to welcome new community members to the project and help make them successful.

• Abraham will help.  Curtis too.

· Our wiki needs updating.  Any objections to me (Bruce) doing some major refactoring?  None heard J

· Open Infrastructure Summit and PTG planning (ildikov)
