Topic Description

@Heather Kirksey and all TSC Chairs 60/min

Town Hall style discussion with LFN's Community Leadership to close out the event

Q: what are the things culturally : best / Worst

positive- good collaboration between participating companies
negative-giving advice with no skin in the game
positive- different cultures coming together to do good work
negative- insufficient time to do the work due to "part time" nature of engagement that many community members face due to internal constraints
positive- face to face focuses on real challenges
negative- often focus on own deliverables
positive- f2f get to know community members beyond just a name on zoom
- would like to see folks on camera more
- can reduce confrontation by seeing reactions
- could impact laptop performance
- recommendation that our communities go "cameras on" at least for speaker
positive Mentoring is something that we should all be looking at opportunities to do so
negative often see a lot of Q&A in private channels rather than in public channels
negative too many parallel tracks at our DTFs
- discussion of a few alternatives - virtual tracks preceding the event, fewer tracks more collab time - no real consensus
