## Core Events Team roles
|
||||
Inspired by the [Release Team]
|
||||
|
||||
The Event Lead(s) is responsible for determining which core roles need to be filled at the start
|
||||
of planning for each event. After initial core team meetings, each lead will determine
|
||||
how to best staff for that function and fill in other roles.
|
||||
how to best staff for that function and fill in other roles. Each role will ideally have a shadow for succession planning. Those who have been a part of a previous event get first dibs on lead roles to maintain consistency.
|
||||
|
||||
CNCF will provide an events manager dedicated to each summit that will help us put
|
||||
the logistical and operational pieces together.

Future home of best practices, lessons learned, etc.
|
||||
New home for best practices, process documentation, and other artifacts that detail out the 'how to' of running a Kubernetes contributor summit.
|
||||
|
||||
//TODO
|
||||
general clean up; style guide check
|
||||
add more reference links
|
||||
potentially separate into multiple docs or re-organize
|
||||
|
||||
## Kick Off
|
||||
Event lead will start the event strategy doc that will outline goals and content
|
||||
strategy with content team. This doc should first be circulated within contributor experience for
|
||||
the [event OWNERs] to review and for the SIG to weigh in. Next, steering committee
|
||||
and SIG Leads with a comment period. This helps to ensure that we've heard and have
|
||||
content for most of different types of contributors that we have.
|
||||
|
||||
[Seattle 2018 doc]
|
||||
|
||||
A GitHub page in the events section will be created to capture history, the team, and other basic information. [(example)] This will not be used as the event website.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Management
|
||||
Each event will have a [project board] created. The incoming team will need to create a label `area/cityfoo-summit` and any issue or PR related to all summits will have the label `area/contributor-summit`.
|
||||
|
||||
The event team can decide if they want a dedicated project manager role at the time of planning.

|
||||
## Venue
|
||||
Venue contracts are signed by CNCF
|
||||
|
||||
Conduct venue walk thrus - this is super important to get a feel for the space
|
||||
Things to check for:
|
||||
Capacity in all rooms, including when stages and AV are present which will cut from chair capacity.
|
||||
Signage requirements (what we can and can’t hang/stick to the walls/etc)
|
||||
Layout options - some venues have restrictions (example: if there is a birds of a feather, seats should be in a fishbowl for easy conversation vs a lecture)
|
||||
AV Options
|
||||
Accessibility
|
||||
|
||||
If the event is being held during KubeCon/CloudNativeCon it's important to get a space that is not with other co-located events to avoid confusion like we have had in the past.
|
||||
|
||||
## Social
|
||||
Hallway Track is listed as the favorite track at every event. The social is a longer hallway track that doesn't interfere with content. The social should have fun activities!
|
||||
|
||||
## Communication and Advertising
|
||||
kubernetes-dev@googlegroups.com is our artery for contributor communication and should be the main news network for contributor events.
|
||||
Other channels:
|
||||
Slack - #contributor-summit, #kubecon, #kubernetes-dev
|
||||
Twitter
|
||||
Kubernetes blog
|
||||
discuss.kubernetes.io
|
||||
Thursday Community Meetings
|
||||
|
||||
## Sponsorship
|
||||
We like to keep our events clear from sponsorships as it distracts from the mission.
|
||||
|
||||
## Swag / T-Shirts
|
||||
What messaging do we want to convey with the swag?
|
||||
thockin has designed all contributor summit NA shirts and jberkus for Shanghai; both have done an EU shirt
|
||||
Best practices:
|
||||
Order shirts 10 days before the event to make sure everyone gets the size that they want unless there are custom/shipping issues.
|
||||
Past brand that works well: Dakota. Previous brands had odd sizing and community feedback matched that.
|
||||
|
||||
## Day of Event Staff
|
||||
No matter how big the event, there will always be opportunities to help out onsite in some capacity. Here are roles we've recruited for in the past that have been extra helpful:
|
||||
Operations lead - helps recruit and train day of staff, charts out their schedules
|
||||
Notetakers - some sessions, birds of a feather for example, make for not great recordings because of the constant conversation with multiple people in the room so notetakers help capture action items and other key parts to the meeting.
|
||||
Session hosts - Introduces the session/speaker, keeps time, acts as an inclusion advocate to make sure everyone that wants a chance to talk gets one
|
||||
|
||||
## Transparency
|
||||
All events will be recorded unless otherwise noted. Recordings will be hosted on the Kubernetes Community YouTube channel. Events should try for livestreaming when possible, especially larger events.
|
||||
|
||||
## Signage
|
||||
What signage do we need/content? Design?
|
||||
Always order twice the signage you think you need. More is always better.
|
||||
AV options (multiple mics, work with transparency person)
|
||||
Order AV services
|
||||
|
||||
## Contributor Awards
|
||||
It's nice to celebrate the hardwork that goes into the community and recognize those doing it.
|
||||
|
||||
TODO - codify this, determine what awards, process for nominations, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Survey
|
||||
Questions that we have asked in the past that would be helpful to keep consistent to analyze for trends:
