Monthly Special-Event SIGs in 2024

[robmoffat]

Feature Request

Based on the SIG meeting on 6th December, I'd like us to start workshopping themes for each month's main OSR sig meeting (the first one). The second one we'll continue to use more as a "working group" and discuss PRs and documentation efforts etc.

I've added in some recent suggestions (mainly to keep track of them). Apart from Feb 7th, this is all up for grabs.

Meetings:

• Feb 7th : discussion of Open Source as Strategy. @victorjunlu to prepare a deck for this. Expected to feed into new maturity checklist (Maturity Model / Checklist Process #200)

• Mar 6th: @pholleran and Ashley Wolf from GitHub to do an AMA?

• Apr 3rd: @JamieSlome to do a session on GitProxy

• May 1stL Shane Coughlan - OpenChain

• Jun 5th: 8Knot with Cali Dolfi from Red Hat

• Jul 3rd Clashes with 4th July Independence Day

• Aug 7th: Miss due to holidays, perhaps?

• Sep 4th: : @mlehotskylf @dealako EasyCLA

• Oct 2nd:: Clashes with OSFF

• Nov 6th:: @tsteenbe - ORT ?

• Dec 4th:

Organisation

I encourage everyone to come along and edit this issue and fill it up with suggestions! After that, you'll "own" that meeting and be expected to help organise the content / speakers for it, as well as write a blog article a week or so in advance to help with marketing.

Recordings

Ideally, I would like to record these sessions and make them available to FINOS marketing to convert into video format. This is something they are looking at doing with FDC3 meetings (e.g. this one. Also we should add to the OSR website itself for posterity.

Marketing

I'll engage with the FINOS marketing team and get them to help us market these on our usual channels to help us build an audience for each one. Also we can add to the OSR blog as we go.

Format

• 5 minutes - intros/meeting notices
• 20 minutes - presentation not longer than this
  • Introduce yourself
  • Introduce topic - why is this relevant?
  • Problem Statement
  • How the problem is solved
  • Open questions / calls to action
  • How to stay in touch
• 30 minutes - discussion
• 5 minutes - AOB

@robmoffat - happy to do a Git Proxy session. Would love to do a session on open-source security too (back to my roots); i.e. vulnerability management, supply chain security as part of OSR (assuming it is relevant and applicable here).

Thoughts? Could collab on it too?

[robmoffat]

awesome, thanks Jamie! Security sounds like an excellent topic too - definitely in scope.

@pcheong-lbg , @HelloKay27 @mimiflynn , you interested in presenting about something?

[robmoffat]

Would be good to slot in talks about:

• AI Safety / Compliance #226
• Metrics #220
• Level 3: Managing Open Source Talent #214

... if we can find some interesting speakers to come along on these topics

Mar 6th: Suggestion from @caradelia - @pholleran and Ashley Wolf from GitHub to do an AMA?

I'm on board with this and will check with Ashley.

Shane Coughlan would like to talk to the OSR SIG about OpenChain (standards for Supply Chain and License Compliance). I think this would be an excellent addition to the agenda. Anyone have any objections to me scheduling something with him?
