Minutes
DPDK event?
VMB: is this a dev event or a marketing event?
LC: This tends to be both, but marketing side is mostly to inform vendors
VMB: Prabhjot has been doing a lot of dpdk work; pretty sure they'll be +1 on this but need more info
Web update mockups?
Does LF need more info from us to get this started? If not, what's the ETA?
No Jill, so will have to ask about this
Positioning update
Darien has added his info to the positioning document
LC has had a conversation w/Sukhdev
Next week LC will try to integrate Randy, Darien, & Sukhdev's input
LFN MAC update
Kicked off planning for next budget cycle
What does TF want to do from a marketing perspective for 2020?
Funding for DDFs?
Contractor to help with tech marketing?
VMB: Timing on this discussion?
LC: Need to finalise by November
Will need to coordinate with the TSC as well, naturally
Process
Projects send over asks
LFN then reconciles the asks
Get budgets by November
Last year board wanted digital marketing prioritsed
Devs didn't like this; wanted events instead
This year, board stressed that less money be spent on events
So there'll be more focus on digital marketing
Expected funded events:
ONS, Kubecon, that's it
Booth, sure, but also could be joint working sessions, etc.
VMB: where to start with this process? Wiki page to gather ideas, or…?
LC: Start discussing strategic goals for the project for the next year
VMB: List exists:
2019 TSC Priorities
Little progress for 2019, so most will probably roll over for 2020
VMB: Next step?
Add this to the tsc@ agenda (VMB will do)
RC: If given list of projects to compare against, can audit & discover what stuff converts best
LC: Yes, this would be awesome, +1
