Traditional PMA format Lengthy arguing over text in documents Long tail contributions Email (as in all meetings) Trustbuilding Note that remoteing affects the first and the fourth, mostly
POLICY TECH OPS Traditional PMA territory Traditional OGF CAOPS territory
Traditional CAOPS format Everybody presents stuff Whatever they like Random passers-by would stop by and check email listen Some CA would present innovative work which violates IGTF policy in production, of course Followed by a request to change the policy

Projects Communities POLICY TECH OPS
EUGridPMA security policy operations community infrastructure management Preponderance of projects/infra activities - reflects funding Ensure that all areas are covered? Ensure that all ellipses communicate with each other? As appropriate? Some repetition overlap in people across activities Cross pollinate across activities Make the most of people's expertise
Confidentiality Bigger circles (ellipses) => Confidentiality becomes harder Everybody and his dog is on IGTF CSIRTs and SVG require confidentiality Example: the current "HPC incident" Formal and informal channels of communication Reputations?
Making "progress"? Activities are scattered across committees, task forces, workshops, unconferences, project tasks Too many meetings => loss of focus, no time to do any work Too few meetings => nothing happens, as people prioritise other work - the "warm and fuzzy feeling" may be stress from attending too many meetings, with only a fuzzy view of what belongs where
Looking for gaps? Sharing software? Doesn't happen Or if it does, it's on github Sharing best practices Can be diluted with diluted focus Or improved, with more feedback Sensitive operational issues? (compare incindent handling) Operational area seems relatively unpopulated
