Magma @OSSEU Planner Sept 18th 1/2 day - Cancelled

Som Sikdar 

Action items: (Oct 2 Updates):

1. ongoing items:

2.  

   1. LF Connectivity advisory board can attend the town hall meeting if moved to Oct 26th

      1. Discussed on slack and 26th is ok with TSC

      2. (Som) Recommend that @Sandra Jackson (Deactivated) work on putting calendar invite for the townhall for Oct 26
         
         
         

   2. (Som) at
      Magma Townhall Planner - October , 2023 - Google Docs
      
      
      

   3. (Som) Create a one-pager for items that will be a 'Magma Community Edition' starter kit
      -- MagmaCommunityEdition - Starter Kit Overview - Google Docs
      -- TSC, should we consider renaming v 1.9 to MCE 1.0? (Magma Community Edition v 1.0)
      -- Pano - marketing support for previous releases? There were blog posts for 1.8, 1.7., 2.0 would deserve a press release and blog post. Som - starter kit would deserve a webinar, Pano - better to coincide with major version release. 1.9 blog update, 2.0 larger release (blog, pr, technical brief, webinar). Som 2.0 1-1.5 years away
      -- Som - starter kit is an important piece that will help community adoption.
      -- Aim to acheive consensus next week. 

2. Feedback from @Lucas Gonze - we need to start thinking about a working group, hopefully with new participants - who can offer ideas on the starter kit documentation. Existing contributors are maxed out and it will be useful to get feedback fom actual deployers.

Sept 25 Updates

•  From SOM → "LF Connectivity TAB requested if Magma would consider Oct 26th for the town hall instead of 24th.
  All three TAB members are excited to attend - but two of them have conflicts on the 24th"
  
  

  • Fewer people due to not being a better day but also having more TAB people present
