Seeing less engagement from new developers, suspect tooling is turning =
them off
LF wants Infra WG to re-form at the TAC level to collect more data
How to improve for new contributors?
What tools to provide?
VMB: TF isn't represented at all in the Summary Report (link above)
We didn't participate, and we can do better
alevine: Team is tool agnostic
People w/opinions should participate, not the infra team
CC: Gonna send doodle poll this week; need a name for a rep
VMB: No rep yet, please send poll to tsc@ as we figure it out
DDF
Developer Design Forums (plugfest)
TF hasn't come to consensus about what to do here
Loosely discussed doing it at ONS, or with ONAP/OPNFV
Looking for venue
Trying to find one for a DDF in conjunction w/ONAP/OPNFV
Had one, but it went AWOL
Now not sure when/where a DDF would happen
LC: For all projects together? Or just TF?
CC: Probably both, but TF could go it alone instead I guess
All space is gone already for ONS EU
2 questions
Do our own event at/around ONS (not the upcoming one)?
Do we want to continue trying to do the joint DDF?
LC: Usually for DDFs a member company provides a venue
So for a TF DDF, Juniper could certainly provide a venue if people are =
willing to travel to it
Other member companies can help with stuff like catering, for example=
li>
CC: TF has $20K in the budget for the DDF
Which, btw, won't go very far at all
VMB: Whether we do something in conjunction w/LFN projects or do our ow=
n is a red herring. Can do both
Recommend 2-4 regular DDFs a year for devs to get together to plan upco=
ming development
Spread them around the world as possible
WS: Makes a lot of sense for these to be near/around events, leverage e=
xisting concentration of people
Easier to get budget & approval
Summary
Appetite for TF to run own DDFs for simplicity
Try to run them around another event to appeal to a broader audience
Funding TBD
Try to get sponsorship from member companies
VMB: If an event, ONS EU won't work (too soon). KubeCon NA?
CC will ask for space
