Project Teams Gathering - April 2022

See you at the PTG next week! Here's a checklist to help you prepare:

FINAL SCHEDULE

View the current schedule in the PTGbot to find out when teams are meeting.

TOOLING & PASSWORDS

For each virtual PTG meeting room, we will provide a default official Zoom video conference room. The Zoom video conference room will be reused by various groups across the day. Please make sure to leave the room at the end of your team meeting! To find teleconference information for team meetings, visit the PTGbot.

If it prompts you for a password, the password for every room is “openinfra”. Zoom can either be accessed by a desktop client or in a web browser. There is also a mobile application for Zoom.

The alternative option your team might be using is OpenDev Jitsi Meet customized instance. This option might scale as well for larger groups, but has the extra benefit of including etherpad integration (the videoconference doubles as an etherpad document, avoiding jumping between windows or sharing screens). If this is what your team is using, your track moderator (PTL, chair, etc) will need to update the PTGbot to publish the chosen meetpad meeting URL to override the default Zoom one. For accessing Meetpad, we suggest using Chromium or Chrome as your web browser. There is also a mobile application- Jitsi- that you can use.

IRC

The main form of synchronous communication between attendees during the PTG is on IRC. If you are not on IRC, learn how to get started. The main PTG IRC channel is #openinfra-events on the OFTC network. It's also used to interact with the PTGbot, and where Foundation staff will be present to help answer questions.

PTGBOT

The PTGbot is an open source tool that PTG track moderators use to surface what's currently happening at the event.

Track moderators will send messages to the bot via IRC, and from that information, the bot publishes a webpage with several sections of information:

• The discussion topics currently discussed in the room ("now")
• An indicative set of discussion topics coming up next ("next")
• The schedule for the day with available extra slots you can book if your team wants more meeting time reserved

Learn more about the PTGbot via the documentation.
