ODL Survey

• A brief discussion was had about the survey.  It was suggested that there should be more options for write-in questions and have the option for "others" where appropriate. 
  • Should the survey be arranged by use case?
  • This can be discovered when it is in a more "collaborative friendly" format.

ODL Community

• There was a discussion about the community engagement going down significantly for the last one year. A few points:
  • Most topics get discussed only in the TSC meetings with no in-between discussions over mailing lists.
  • Attendance at technical/project meetings like the kernel projects call & integration call has dwindled to the point there is no participation in some of those. 
    • Example: Integration Project call got canceled and merged into the TSC call.
  • Questions from newcomers not being answered on the mailing lists.
    • Casey Cain has a few suggestions about merging this into Confluence platforms. But among the core issues remain is people answering these.
    • Manoj Chokka sees questions on other forums like stack overflow related to ODL which go unanswered as well.

Action Items

• Abhijit K or Daniel De La Rosa to follow up with the managed projects about their release plans JIRA tickets for Silicon 18 Sep 2020
