Office hours set up

[paul jenkins]

We are looking to start office hours for CAPOCI. Is there any guidance/docs on how to do this? I had a look around but did not find anything.

Thanks,

Paul

i'm not sure if there is any guidance in the wider community, but we have started a discussion about this in the cluster-api community see https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api/discussions/6198

sadly, i don't have an actionable response for your question. i have been considering something similar for the kubemark provider. in our case, we do not have an abundance of users currently, so i have been considering proposing a monthly office hours/project meetup. for CAPOCI, you might consider your users and also the cadence of change to the project. if you plan on moving fast, then it would be beneficial to have meetings on a more frequent basis to ensure that people are not getting "left behind". on the other hand, if you feel that the cadence of change will be slower, or your user community smaller, having a less frequent meeting will make it easier for the maintainers (less meeting load).

i think it would be cool to capture some of these factors to help project communities make a good decision. as i see it there are three really strong options:

1. weekly meeting. good for high cadence, and/or high user community size. gives many opportunities for issues and discussion.

2. bi-weekly meeting. good for high, or medium, cadence with a smaller user community size. gives regular opportunity for issues and discussion, but also places lower demand on the maintainers

3. monthly meeting. good for low, or medium, cadence with a small user community size. lowest demand on maintainers at the cost of infrequent public meetings.

it's a difficult question to answer in general, but those are my thoughts, hope it helps =)

hey Paul,

we talked about CAPOCI a little at today's cluster api meeting, and there was a link shared about getting a slack channel setup for CAPOCI. in reviewing the link, i saw some talk about calendar and meeting topics, some of this might be useful.
