Engineering Poster Boards

Background

At the FY25 GitLab Summit the Engineering Division held a poster session. This session was well received and several folks recorded videos going over the posters after the Summit, which can be viewed on the GitLab Unfiltered Summit Poster Session Playlist. The team would like to continue doing this in a virtual manner, so that team members and their work are showcased on a regular basis.

Process

The goal is to be a low lift for participating team members. The process to follow is:

1. Create an issue to track the overall work using this template.
2. Create a virtual poster board using Virutal Poster Session template - CHANGE FILENAME and an async agenda for the Q&A session
   1. Both can be copied by clicking on File -> Make a copy.
   2. Store these in a new folder in the Engineering Poster Boards folder in the Engineering Shared Drive
   3. Ensure the Q&A agenda is editable by anyone at GitLab.
3. Record a 2-minute overview of the poster - actual time can vary, but we wouldn’t expect to have a long recording/presentation. Add this to the Engineering Poster Boards GitLab Unfiltered playlist (to be created).
4. Host a Q&A session. This session should be scheduled to be convenient for the presenter and to maximize attendance. The agenda can be pre-populated by people who cannot attend. These would be recorded and shared with the team.
   • You can reach out in #eba-team to get this scheduled to invite the Engineering Division. Please link the relevant agenda, presentation, and issue when making the request.
