I take notes, especially in big meetings, as a way to keep my attention on the meeting (and avoid falling asleep). Sometimes it comes in handy, as my memory isn’t great anyway. Sometimes the benefit is questionable, as my notes might not make sense to anyone else, especially if they aren’t in an OpenStack session.
I took the majority of the notes for the Monasca sessions at the Denver 2018 OpenStack Program Teams Gathering. Take a look – https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/monasca-ptg-stein – and I did the same last time around – https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/monasca-ptg-rocky .
As a sample, I also took notes for the parts of the OpenStack-Helm sessions that I was interested in. I didn’t slap them in to the OS-Helm etherpad as I am just peripherally part of the team and didn’t want to break their flow. But I’m including them below in raw format just for backup/reference.
