<p>We are gearing up for DevConf.CZ where we'll have our very own booth.
While we're not planning on running any demos, we'd love to see your
demos instead! If you've got something you'd like to show via video OR
LIVE because you're not afraid of ANYTHING, <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/dev-conf-cz-rdo-booth">sign up</a>.</p>
<p>We're also looking for people to spend their precious free time
answering questions at the RDO booth. If you're attending, please
consider spending one or more of your free moments with us. Questions
run the gamut from "What's RDO?" to "I found a bug in Neutron and need
help troubleshooting it." Of course, you're not expected to know
everything and you can always keep IRC open to access the RDO Community
for help! Plus, you get cool stuff! If you show up for three or more
shifts, we're going to hook you up with an RDO hoodie.</p>
<p>Reach out to Rain Leander on IRC (leanderthal) or email (<a href="mailto:rain@redhat.com">rain@redhat.com</a>) for more information.</p>

<h3 id="gmail-what-a-fabulous-test-day">What a Fabulous Test Day!</h3>
<p><a href="http://rdoproject.org/testday/ussuri/milestone1/">RDO test day was 19 and 20 December 2019</a>
and it went great! While we didn't open any tickets, we had 26
participants and 869 messages. The next RDO test day is for Milestone
three on 16-17 April 2020.</p>

<h3 id="gmail-community-meetings">Community Meetings</h3>
<p>Every Tuesday at 13:30 UTC, we have a weekly <strong>TripleO CI community meeting</strong> on <a href="https://meet.google.com/bqx-xwht-wky">https://meet.google.com/bqx-xwht-wky</a> with the agenda on <a href="https://hackmd.io/IhMCTNMBSF6xtqiEd9Z0Kw">https://hackmd.io/IhMCTNMBSF6xtqiEd9Z0Kw</a>.
The TripleO CI meeting focuses on a group of people focusing on
Continuous Integration tooling and system who would like to provide a
comprehensive testing framework that is easily reproducible for TripleO
contributors. This framework should also be consumable by other CI
systems (OPNFV, RDO, vendor CI, etc.), so that TripleO can be tested the
same way everywhere. This is NOT a place for TripleO usage questions,
rather, check out the next meeting listed just below.</p>
<p>Every Tuesday at 14:00 UTC, immediately following the TripleO CI meeting is the weekly <strong>TripleO Community meeting</strong> on the #TripleO channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted each week in a <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/tripleo-meeting-items">public etherpad</a>. This is for addressing anything to do with TripleO, including usage, feature requests, and bug reports.</p>
<p>Every Wednesday at 14:00 UTC, we have a weekly <strong>RDO community meeting</strong> on the #RDO channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted each week in a <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/RDO-Meeting">public etherpad</a> and the minutes from the meeting are posted <a href="https://www.rdoproject.org/community/community-meeting/">on the RDO website</a>.
If there's something you'd like to see happen in RDO - a package that
is missing, a tool that you'd like to see included, or a change in how
things are governed - this is the best time and place to help make that
happen.</p>
<p>Every Thursday at 15:00 UTC, there is a weekly <strong>CentOS Cloud SIG meeting</strong> on the #centos-devel channel on Freenode IRC. The agenda for this meeting is posted each week in a <a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/centos-cloud-sig">public etherpad</a> and the minutes from the meeting are posted <a href="https://www.rdoproject.org/contribute/cloud-sig-meeting/">on the RDO website</a>.
This meeting makes sense for people that are involved in packaging
OpenStack for CentOS and for people that are packaging OTHER cloud infra
things (OpenNebula, CloudStack, Euca, etc) for CentOS. “Alone we can do
so little; together we can do so much.” - Helen Keller</p>
