Submitted: booth and tech talk

Fosdem​

Is it happening? very much a "hallway track" event. Is there a devroom? last year, the hardware-assisted security one was where we should have been presenting. Is it happening this year? Should ConfC2 offer to make one? axel to reach out to Vasily to see if he's proposing a devroom this year. Ben to reach out to ConfC2 to see if they want to help with devroom, or propose one if Vasily is out. Deadline for devroom proposal is Oct 31. Time is tight.

Agenda

Events​

RSA conference​

Mike has answered: two talks, one Enarx-based.

DevConf US​

Hopin.to so much better than things we've used before. Problem: people a bit bored of online conferences. Last slot in the day, so only US-based folks saw the talk. Good video, now published on YT. All in all, went rather well.

Future conferences​

Ask to have polls asked on our behalf? ("Do you know Confidential Computing?")

OSS Europe (Dublin, 26 October)​

No access to platform yet. Should have time to prepare. Timeslots not confirmed yet, will sign-up volunteers once we have them.

Confidential Computing Consortium​

Outreach / Speaker Bureau​

Creating group of staff and membership, with full bio. Work with TAC, to have technical profiles. List of topics.

Enarx short stories​

Ongoing, Mike D. started a set of questions. Axel to be the first interviewee.

Enarx briefs​

Mike: start by having a wiki in a good position and use that as the source.

Agenda

Events​

RSA conference​

Enarx should answer CFP, @mike_camel to do so.

OSS Europe​

Approved, we have (signed) contract. ConfC2 panel template being worked on (by Aeva).

DevConf US​

24/25th Sept, tech crowd Showing a cool new demo.

Confidential Computing Consortium​

Motion to allow two companies from the same group of companies (ie: IBM & Red Hat) to join the ConfC2: defeated. There are still (understandable) concerns that this could lead to undue influence on the board. However, it also a sign that boards often have too much power over the organisations, even the ConfC2 board is designed to avoid this sort of problem.

Outreach / Speaker Bureau​

A quote was accepted, the idea is now to start building the bureau, with several sub-groups. Not going with SpeakerHub for now, may do so later.

House keeping​

Move to meeting fortnightly?

• yes

Use github issues to track tasks?

• yes
  ACTION: @axelsimon to check with @mbestavros best way to do that

Events​

OSS Europe​

Waiting for news tomorrow.

Enarx short stories​

LinkedIn etc.

ACTION: ensure Enarx organisation exists @axelsimon
ACTION: create an issue to track creation of set of questions @m-dombrowski
ACTION: create one issue per interviewee @m-dombrowski

Confidential Computing Consortium​

Quote was too high in Ben's opinion. More to come.

OSS events​

Public communication channel​

We don't need our own Slack subscription, we can use the LF-provided one for OSS Europe.

Confidential C2​

Speaker Bureau​

Ben getting quote from Speakerhub. Good thing is people actually look for speakers on Speakerhub.

Action: create a Speakerhub (free), mention "confidential computing" in your profile.

Ben's proposal: let's start building a simple page (like LF Edge has). Start with leadership team, then go through communities.

New outreach whitepaper​

Will be released very soon.

Website​

Pages are being updated one at a time. Improve SEO by looking at analytics data.

Enarx short stories​

LinkedIn etc.
Aim: Consistent, concerted voice. Work together with Twitter feed and website.

What focus?
Recruitment? Spotlight on website? Technical aspect?
Up until now, the goal has been to improve understanding of the core problem & encourage people to join the community.

• (Recruitment) Present relatable human element of project to target audience on this social media platform. Team member interviews similar to RH Summit?
• (Website spotlight) Link to appropriate landing page(s) to direct traffic.
• (Technical highlights) Coordinate with team to highlight interesting aspects of project.

Possible format: "3 questions with…"

Formal representation​

• LinkedIn organisation (profile you can follow, adds credibility on platform)

Idea: have more ways to amplify the message

Extra channel for the project​

Direct Outreach​

Confidential C2 Speaker Bureau​

Ben working on a proposal, possibly using SpeakerHub.
Ideally 2 sections: more technical and more business

Chat platforms​

More conversation regarding the most universal one for people to engage?

People leaning towards Slack, however RocketChat has some interesting advantages: direct and clean link to a room, don't need to sign-in to chat (ie: anonymous option)

Open Source Summit North America (OSS NA)​

Discussing follow up: good stats on the booth, people interested in email news (uncommon)
