Hello Everyone!
We wanted to get your input on the best dates for holding the PTG now that its been annouced that the Summit itself will be virtual[1].
Please fill out the CIVS poll by August 3 at 15:00 UTC. We really appreicate your feedback!
There are obviously many pros and cons to each option, below are the conflicts/reasons why we might not want to select that option.
- Option 0 - Two weeks before Summit (October 5-9)
- External Event Conflicts: None?
- Option 1 - One week after Summit (October 26-30)
- Perfect for release timing but event fatigue is a real concern
- External Event Conflicts: Open Source Summit EU, ODSC Open Data Science Conference East Cloud Foundry Summit EU, KVM Forum
- Option 2 - Two weeks after the Summit (November 2-6)
- USA Election day on Nov 3; could be a distraction, contributors needing to go vote (whatever that looks like with the virus), news, etc.
- Option 3 - Three weeks after the Summit (November 9-13)
- Pushes far into the cycle (4 weeks after previous release, a bit late, Veterns day/holiday - may affect France and Germany and US)
- External Events Conflicts: VMWorld EU
-The Kendalls (diablo_rojo & wendallkaters)
