General Information

The calendar function in groups.io has in https://lists.onap.org/g/onap-meetings has a number of benefits due to its integration with the mailing lists making it a more easily scalable solution by distributing the workload across the community.  The TSC, Subcommittees and any projects that have their own dedicated mailing list will utilize the calendar function within that associated list. For meetings that fall into the onap-discuss list, the calendar function within the onap-discuss list will be used.

...

  • Participant: Any member of the community that wants to attend a meeting
  • Meeting Owner: The person that actually owns and runs the meeting

Note
titleJust say NO to .ics

The only sure way to ensure that your calendar stays in sync w/ the ONAP community calendar is to subscribe.

•DO NOT RELY ON A .ics FILE in any groups.io meeting invite

-An ics file often creates a static snapshot of the meeting at that point in time
-Updates and cancelations do not get propagated via this method
-You are guaranteed to have issues with seasonal time changes

Zoom Bridge Overview

The LF provides 13 Zoom host accounts for the ONAP community to use. Yes, 13. This is more that any other Project at the whole LF and quadruple the number the next closest LFN Project.  There should be no reason that you cannot find an available bridge to host a meeting. The Zoom accounts are  onapmeet1 through onapmeet13, but usually just referred to by ONAP#).   ONAP1 is generally reserved for the TSC an very large meetings.    Although all of the Zoom accounts are administered by the LF team, the usage is ultimately managed by the community.  Here are some important things you need to know:

NEVER change the time or day of ANY meeting in groups.io without first confirming the currently assigned Zoom account is available for the newly proposed day/time!!!  

...

Recordings cannot occur unless someone registered as a the Zoom Host account is either physically connected to the meeting using that Zoom account 

  • As a general rule-of-thumb, host privileges are granted to TSC Members, Sub-Committee officers, PTLs, or Community Coordinators, but any member of the community may request access 
  • You must have a Lastpass account with sharing keys enabled to be granted host privileges 
  • You must provide the email address associated with your Lastpass account to the Linux Foundation so that we can share access with you
  • Recordings must be saved to the host's computer rather NOT TO THE CLOUD unless you are instructed to do otherwise by a member of the LF Staff.
  • The host has the responsibility for uploading the recording file to the wiki

...

titleHost request

By requesting bridge host permissions you agree that you will:

  • Not make any configuration changes to the meeting account's Profile or Meeting Settings
  • Not use any assigned meeting bridge to start any meeting at a different date or time than the one specifically allocated for that meeting.
  • Not log into a different meeting using the same Host account  
  • Make an announcement if the meeting is being recorded
  • Save any recordings to your local computer and NOT TO THE CLOUD and then upload them to the wiki as appropriate
  • Assist the community with setting up new meeting bridges that may be requested

If you agree to these requirements please  go here and provide your LastPass information and the ONAP Zoom account you need access to: 
https://jira.linuxfoundation.org/servicedesk/customer/portal/2/create/232

Do meetings using private bridge numbers need to be added to the ONAP calendar?

If the meeting is a community meeting, yes absolutely.  The meeting should be added to the appropriate calendar for the list used by the project.

...

On most groups.io lists any list member can change or cancel a meeting they have set up themselves. A list member cannot cancel or change someone else's meeting however. Every distribution list will have a sticky message in groups.io called "List Moderators" (e.g. https://lists.onap.org/g/onap-discuss/search?q=list+moderators) that contains the names of the individuals that have access to delete meetings from the groups.io calendar for that distribution list.  Calendar Managers will usually only have permissions for one list to help distribute the responsibility in a more equitable manner.  

How do I find the default Zoom Account assigned to a particular list?

See the "List Moderators" sticky post in groups.io for your list (e.g. https://lists.onap.org/g/onap-discuss/search?q=list+moderators)

Zoom Usage Overview

The LF provides several Zoom host accounts for the ONAP community to use.  The Zoom accounts are administered by the LF, but managed by community Zoom Managers   Here are some important things you need to know:

NEVER change the time or day of ANY meeting in groups.io without first confirming the currently assigned Zoom account is available for the newly proposed day/time!!!  

  • IF YOU ARE A HOST PLEASE LOG OFF OF THAT ZOOM HOST ACCOUNT WHEN YOUR MEETING IS OVER.  
  • Meeting IDs are good for a specific day and time-slot only
  • DO NOT use an assigned meeting bridge to start a meeting at a different date or time
  • DO NOT log into a different meeting using the same Host account  
  • A meeting owner has the right to terminate a meeting that is preventing a meeting currently scheduled in that Zoom account from starting

How do I get Host/Recording/Zoom Account Privileges

Recordings cannot occur unless someone logged in as the Zoom Host account is physically connected to the meeting (default behavior), or someone on the bridge has manually claimed the host role. To do either of these for ONAP you need to be given the appropriate Zoom Manager privileges by the LF.

  • As a general rule-of-thumb, Zoom Manager privileges are granted to TSC Members, Sub-Committee officers, PTLs, or Community Coordinators, but any member of the community may request access 

Do meetings using my personal or company Zoom accounts need to be added to the ONAP calendar

If the meeting is a community meeting,  yes absolutely The meeting should be added to the appropriate calendar for the list used by the project. Private meetings of course are your own business (smile)

the Zoom session host. This means either by being logged into Zoom account for the bridge, or manually claiming the the host role after joining the meeting.  Because of changes Zoom implements in t January of 2022, using the "claim host" method is the preferred way of doing this.  

  DO NOT RECORD TO THE CLOUD unless specifically instructed to do so by an LF staff member!  Record to your local computer

  1. After the meeting has started click the "Record" button located at the bottom of the Zoom window OR if someone is screen sharing the recording option will be found under the "More" section of the Zoom menu bar 
  2. Select "Record to this Computer"  DO NOT RECORD TO THE CLOUD! 
  3. In case it wasn't clear: DO NOT RECORD TO THE CLOUD! 
  4. You can pause and resume if necessary and the recording will be saved as a contiguous stream.
  5. Stop the recording when you are finished.  It will be saved when the meeting is officially ended.
  6. Rename the zoom_#.mp4 to match your meeting name and date (example foo-team-2019-01-01.mp4)

  7. Upload the renamed .mp4 file to the wiki and link it as appropriate. DO NOT upload any "audio_only" or "playback" files.

  8. After you have verified the upload was successful and you can watch the recording from the wiki, you can remove the files from your computer.

Google calendar is notorious for long update delays of up to 12 hours or more for subscribed calendars and you cannot force it to update.  The only way to force g-cal to update is to actually remove the calendar and re-subscribe and besides being a sucky solution, even that may not help.
