Announcements

Items of discussion

  • Task Forces - Housekeeping

    • CI/CD? @David Huseby

      • Report has been delayed due to summer travel and open questions.

      • Report will happen before the board meeting.

    • Lifecycle?  @Arnaud J LE HORS

      • Split out the issues into individual pages on the wiki to invite comments and edits as we move forward.

      • Giving everybody another week if needed on the first bucket group.

        • Finalize and vote on issues 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8 at next week's TSC meeting.

      • The second bucket of group are tougher issues and the discussion is brisk.

        • Side note: comments get blown away when we restructure the wiki pages so comments have to be copy/pasted.

    • Working Groups? @Mic Bowman

      • The working groups issues have been largely rolled into the project issues.

      • The problems faced in running working groups is that participation is decreasing. It's a function over time. They started with lots of enthusiasm and then fade over time.

        • It takes a great deal of work to keep a working group alive.

      • What actions does this task force need to take to make progress on getting things ready for the TSC to consider and vote on?

  • Diversity, Civility, and Inclusion Working Group Proposal, @Dan Middleton
