Meetings:
Meetings v2 FAQ (Launched 5/17/2023)
Do all members of a scheduled meeting need to be registered with The Linux Foundation?
NO. If unregistered members are added to a meeting, they will receive an invite in which they will be directed to either register for an LF account or join as guests.
What happens if an invitee doesn't receive an invite for a scheduled meeting?
The user will get the invite on their primary account's email address unless the user configured a preferred email address to receive the meeting invitations.
How long can my meeting be?
The max length for a meeting scheduled in the PCC is 10 hours.
How many people can I invite to my meeting?
The max participants for a meeting scheduled in the PCC is 500. You can open a support ticket to request up to 1000 participants.
When inviting participants to a recurrent meeting, is there any possibility of changing the "added as" field to something different than just "guest"?
Guest there means, effectively, “not a committee member”. The “Share Host Key” checkbox should be checked — that gives access to the Host Key (it can be found at https://openprofile.dev 1 hour before the meeting).
What does the "You have a legacy project-dedicated Zoom account which are not represented in the list of meetings displayed below" message means?
PCC has a new way to schedule Zoom meetings, you can follow the instructions posted in the "Meetings" section from "Linux Foundation Documents"
How can a user who has joined a Zoom meeting via phone call mute or unmute himself?
The following command can be entered via DTMF tones using your phone's dial pad while in a Zoom meeting:
- *6 - Toggle mute/unmute
For more Zoom commands via Zoom phone call, please check the following link: "Joining a Zoom meeting by phone"
Mailing Lists:
Why can't I change the name of a mailing list?
Currently, you'll have to submit a ticket to perform a name change of a mailing list for your project in the PCC. Get Help With The PCC
Can I invite a mailing list to a meeting?
Yes, when scheduling a meeting, under the Participants is a section to add a mailing list to the meeting. Please note, this is capped to lists of 200 people or less.
How can enable mailing lists coming from googlegroups.com when scheduling meetings with the platform?
Google Groups is not currently supported — it had a tab there to indicate “coming soon” but it has since been de-prioritized.. we’re hoping to add it back in 2024.
Committees:
How can people tell if I'm a committee member for a project?
Your membership to a committee will be listed on your Individual Dashboard (Profile). Log in to openprofile.dev and you will see your involvement listed under Community Roles.
What happens when I don't see my project role(s) listed on my Individual Dashboard (Profile)?
These are committee roles that are assigned in the PCC. Have your LF Program Manager add you to a committee.
I want to associate a committee from one project to a subproject's mailing list. Can I do that?
We don’t support cross-project associations. Example - If there was a committee in a parent project but the mailing list was in a subproject, one would have to move the mailing lists up to parent project or move the committee to the subproject.
I want to move a subcommittee back into a normal committee?
From the ellipsis (manage) on the subcommittee you want to move, select the 'detach' option. This will move the subcommittee into a normal committee.
