OpenSearch Dashboards Communication

Overview

The purpose of this document is to provide information regarding the communication channels for OpenSearch Dashboards. All communication is subject to the OpenSearch Code of Conduct. Please see CONTRIBUTING if you're interested in contributing to the project.

Slack

The OpenSearch project has a public workspace on Slack. See the Getting Started guide for steps to register and setup the workspace.

Once registered, check out these channels for discussion of OpenSearch Dashboards topics:

Forum

Slack conversations are not searchable outside the workspace. For this reason we encourage using the OpenSearch Dashboards category of the forum for technical support discussions or summarizing findings for the rest of the community.

Developer Office Hours

What it is

A recurring 1-hour virtual meeting for community developers to chat with OpenSearch Dashboards project maintainers. Priority will be given to topics that are signed-up in advance, but ad-hoc discussions are welcome in any remaining time.

While we'll always prioritize asynchronous communication, sometimes a community call is the most effective and efficient venue to share information and knowledge. Some reasons to sign up:

  1. Review a proposal or technical design for a new feature in OpenSearch Dashboards or an OpenSearch Dashboards plugin
  2. Learn more about how to build and extend OpenSearch Dashboards - which APIs, plugins, resources, and services are available to speed development
  3. Discuss OpenSearch Dashboards roadmap and technical initiatives

Signing up isn't required to attend - all OpenSearch Dashboards contributors or interested developers are welcome as participants.

Bring your ideas and projects early, while you still have time and flexibility to make significant changes.

When

Every other Thursday, 10AM-11AM PT.

How to sign up

There will be a forum post for each iteration of the meeting, with pre-defined slots. To sign-up, simply reply in the forum thread with the following template:

  • Topic: [a brief description of what you'd like to discuss]
  • Requested by: [provide GitHub aliases of attendees]
  • GitHub issues or PRs: [before signing up, make sure to create an issue, whether in the OpenSearch Dashboards repository or your own plugin repository]
  • Time required [choose 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes]
  • Requested maintainer: [optional; provide GitHub alias of any particular maintainer you鈥檇 like to attend]

FAQ

Will the meetings be recorded?

Yes, we plan to record each office hours session and post to our YouTube channel so the information can be more easily shared and referenced.

Will all maintainers attend?

Generally no, but there will always be at least one maintainer. We'll review the sign-ups ahead of time to make sure the right subject-matter experts will attend, depending on the topics.

What happens if there are no sign-ups for a particular session?

The session will still occur, and the maintainers will present a brief knowledge-sharing session or demo. We'll also hold ad-hoc discussions, but the session may end early.

Is it first come first serve or do we get to decide which topics we discuss in a session?

For sign-ups, it鈥檚 first-come first served, until we decide we need another method.

Will there also be meeting notes? or is the recording the only available transcript?

No. But we鈥檒l also post the chat transcript and any slides shared (see https://forum.opensearch.org/t/opensearch-community-meeting-2023-0131/11892/5 as example)

How can I cancel or reschedule?

Just leave another forum reply, as early as possible so other folks have the opportunity to sign-up for the same spot.
