Notes from our call today... 

Weekly Calls During the Summit (Ildiko)
- Denver is on Mountain Time 
- some sessions that Ildiko would like to offer Zoom account for  
- per Cindy, China will be off W/Th/Fri next week 
     - non Distro OpenStack will be cancelled 
- per Bruce, the Distro OpenStack 
- will keep the Community Call for next week 
- Ildiko will send out the list of when she'd like to use the bridge, Bill will help sort out which calls will happen or not 

OSF Lounge Shared Project Booth (Ildiko)
- sign-up sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ph5neMyLBFtl50hTwXfluZNFFWVF4EIu0a2cY-wHPO4/edit#gid=0
- use this to reserve your slot, if you want one (demos, office hours, whatever)

StarlingX Supporters Page (Ildiko) 
- it's at https://www.starlingx.io/supporters/
- we talked about updating it in about a month - should have some new ones soon (FiberHome)
- Bruce: we have a few (and hopefully more soon!) new contributors for the project
      - I'd like to suggest that we consider forming a "first contact" SIG consisting
        of community members who can help new contributors learn how to contribute 
        effectively to the project.
      - this was prompted by new commits that came out of the Hackathon in China last week
- Bill & Bruce to discuss offline - what are the logical next steps 

Zuul Slowness (Brent)
- per Brent, Zuul was quite slow yesterday, some Zuul jobs were taking 4 hours 
- Dean said Zuul got overloaded yesterday, seemed to be an anomaly (they don't know what the issue actually was)
- Don asked what the value is of the DevStack part of what Zuul runs 
- Dean said the DevStack jobs' contribution to the Zuul time is ~1%
       - they do run a build & install process, so there's some value
       - the primary value is still to come, as we add API tests 
- Brent mentioned that this will be discussed during the PTG (re: Unit Testing) 
- Dean mentioned that if anyone wants to talk to him, just reach out to him 

Packet.com SIG (Curtis)
- https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/stx-packet-sig
