Discussed Meeting Management
What do people need to do to subscribe to meeting reminders?
Need to send proper meeting link to ASWF calendar (requires a LSF account to see the actual link)
Action: Gary to discuss with John Mertic, document meeting management process
Association wind-down:
Peter reports:
all outstanding bills are paid
accountant is paid
waiting for info from UK tax repayments from prev yrs
When we have that, we can continue the dissolution (accountant will file wi/ Company House)
J-P preparing closing of bank account - waiting for tax repayment info
Final balance is around £1600 (plus tax refund, which may be £1-200)
Then donate to ASWF; J-P asked John about how to send £ to $ account. J-P knows of an exchange-efficient method.
May take a couple of weeks or months to get the Companies House filing complete, depending on tax office
Companies House filing takes two months to finalize and strike off records
Charter is approved
IP transfer is complete
Now we can reassign github and change copyright messages (use script)
Action: Gary will do these with John Mertic

29 subscribers on new list, 89 on old discussion list
Action: Gary will follow up w/ John M re: transfer mailing list content
We have 48 members on the slack channel

Agreed to not migrate directors' list, but try to migrate members' list content as well as discussion list
John M will "put us on the list" for new website
Old minutes need to be transferred
Don't want to lose old content
John proposed a new wordpress site
Domain would still be openeffects.org
Various types of content on the old site:
docs
minutes
marketing
standard discussions -- can be archived
Action: Pierre will review old standard discussions to see if we're missing anything on github
remove contact form & sign-in
Will establish a subcommittee for this when appropriate
Technical Discussion
Getting new TSC members, contributors, and eventually committers:
Action: Pierre will reach out to Frederik Devernay, Foundry, Autodesk, also Blackmagic (Rohit)
Action: J-P will reach out to Mistika (Roman)
J-P asks: should we review open github issues? Only 19, but we should also review all PRs
Actions: followup (more info), accept, reject, transfer...
Agreed to schedule this discussion for next TSC meeting
Also we would like to have detailed tech discussions on particular proposals
Dennis notes that OSL is talking about color space too, so this is becoming a bigger topic in the community
It was noted that collaborations are important and we can play a role there
Action: Pierre will create a list of all topics we've discussed over the years that don't have current issues or PRs
Some of these are too amorphous to be issues yet; need more discussion
