Upcoming talks/sprints?

• PyPA [redacted] sprint -- October 27/28? TODO Sumana to reach out to PyPA today

• I think we should consider submitting a session to Open Source Summit, Wednesday, August 29 – Friday, August 31, 2018 in Vancouver, Canada. https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/open-source-summit-north-america-2018/program/cfp/ — CfP closes April 29th. 2000+ attendees, includes subconferences LinuxCon, ContainerCon and CloudOpen, and I think it might be a good opportunity to sell to the business-open-sourcey community, "here's what Packaging WG did with this much funding, here are the benefits we could offer to the industry if we had $_."

  • Sumana TODO - ask Packaging WG -- DONE

After April 30th: momentum

Who's committing to what as volunteers after grant is over?

• Ernest - will keep working on infrastructure, keeping eye on issue tracker - 8 hours/week volunteer - depends on job search
• Nicole - will continue to work on project, possibly reduced rate. will continue with user testing, reviewing PRs,
• Dustin - ~10 hrs week, depending on schedule
• Mark - help out with infrastructure - discuss with Ernest - doesn't have time allocation, depends on PSF
• Laura - not quite sure, hoping to keep contributing a few hours/week

• Sumana: will work on Python stuff <8 hours/week

Ernest, Dustin, and Nicole to try to concentrate volunteer time on supporting, responding to volunteers, and to find potential coordinator/co-maintainer candidates at PyCon sprints

TODO

• Give Nicole feedback via Google form before EoD Tuesday
• Give Mark feedback on Open Tech Fund answers by EoD Wednesday
