Kate Goldenring (Feb 22 2024 at 22:43): Kate Goldenring (Feb 22 2024 at 22:43):Hey everyone. I am looking forward to finally gathering to build out the documentation in the BA ecosystem.
According to process, during the inaugural meeting, we will appoint two chairs which the TSC would review. If you are interested in being considered for chair, you can nominate yourself at the meeting if you are able to attend or in a comment here or in the SIG docs channel.
As for when to meet, looking at other SIG meetings, Wednesdays at 8AM PT may be a good time slot to aim for, with the first occurrence being Wed Feb 28th. Does this seem like a reasonable first time slot with the option to reevaluate time and cadence?
Kate Goldenring (Feb 22 2024 at 22:48):@Ivan Towlson @Divya Mohan @Merlijn Sebrechts @Mossaka (Joe) @Calvin Prewitt @Daniel Macovei @Peter Huene putting this on your radar as you've been involved in previous documentation efforts
Peter Huene (Feb 22 2024 at 23:01):I'll (hopefully) be on a plane during the first meeting time, but I'd like to attend the future meetings! The time seems reasonable to me.
Divya Mohan (Feb 23 2024 at 03:20):Unfortunately, I have a conflicting event on the day of the inaugural meeting. But the timing seems reasonable to me and I hope to be a part of future meetings.
Divya Mohan (Feb 23 2024 at 03:24):Additionally, do we have a cadence decided?
Divya Mohan (Feb 23 2024 at 10:59):Also, I know that we don't follow this governance model in the BA. However, from experience with managing docs for some CNCF projects, it would be helpful if we have a tech lead role along with the co-chair role. It could be staffed by a single person in the beginning. This would differ from the chair role because the person taking on the tech lead role would be more oriented toward the creation & maintenance of the actual documentation. This would involve stuff like ensuring our website is running the updated versions of SSG and standardizing the tooling we use around our documentation etc.; the person chairing the SIG would be more focused on general administrative & outreach activities.
Ryan Levick (rylev) (Feb 23 2024 at 14:34):I would be interested in participating!
Kate Goldenring (Feb 23 2024 at 17:57):@Divya Mohan I could see how that model makes sense, given that this isn't a clearly technical SIG like the other ones. Maybe we start with the norms of the a couple co chairs and we can propose this idea to the TOC or have tech lead be a de facto role for one of the chairs?
On cadence, we could start weekly for the first couple meetings and then transition to biweekly.
Thorsten Hans (Feb 23 2024 at 19:07):I would love to participate as well!
Eric Gregory (Feb 26 2024 at 14:37):I'd like to participate and should be able to make the inaugural meeting!
