)
Kick off messaging discussion
Minutes
NCDC
Does
Sukhdev Kapur
have what he needs for NCDC?
Don't think so
Pretty sure we have the speakers we need for this
At least there haven't been any frantic emails from
Edward Ting
saying we don't
Updating the upstream contributor guide
VMB suggests we wait for some dust to settle before we write this; too many things in flux
TF Carbide evaluation guide
Draft in
Juniper Google Docs
Dmitri finally has what he needs for this
Hope to have use cases drafted by end of next week
VMB: Where will he be publishing this?
Suggests docs repo
When he's ready to have more people review it, send a patch to docs repo in gerrit.tungsten.io
Ping
VM (Vicky) Brasseur (she/her)
before since the docs repo is undergoing a reorg right now
Website accessibility
Site isn't colorblind accessible
Switch to a lighter orange
Lisa checked with Brandon, who's checking w/their creative team
May need to redo the branding palette for accessibility
LC following up with Brandon on that
RC: Has the original branding guide
Will get it to the wiki page:
Image and Design Library
Website messaging
Recap from last call
Quick survey of what needs to happen on the site (aesthetic and practical)
Largest concern: Need to be tighter with the messaging on the homepage
Layout presented as buzzword bingo
Randy wants it to be more appealing to k8s community
Also maybe CNCF Telecom WG
Retool messaging to be less network engineer-centric and more speaking cloud native language
Messaging meetings on calendar starting next week
Boil down current extensive verbiage to concise value prop
Also pivot a bit toward k8s & container ecosystem
LC will put together a list of questions to serve as a discussion guide
Random stuff
FYI:
Marketing Metrics
page is a thing
May want to start thinking about what we want to promote & how well those promotions succeed
Do this after the website revamp
Q3/Q4 planning soon
Do website first
Also, 2020; will need budget asks by end of September
Website changes?
Once we know what they are, who does them?
LF/Brandon will implement the changes we send them
DH: Do we have a "Hello, World!" for TF?
WS: Carbide is the best option right now
Mixed results with the one-click install
WS is working on some automation (Ansible) to validate it works as expected
GSoC student working on a quick start guide based around k8s
DH: But what do you do after it's running? How do you actually push a basic app? What's the kubectl stuff?
Are there examples in Carbide?
WS: Don't know that we have this doc yet
Once TF is set up as a CNI, should be able to use k8s just as you always use k8s
But don't have a list of functionality in k8s and how it maps to TF
Would be very useful though, just don't have it yet
WS will send DH a yaml file to get a pod/service up and running
