ASWF member organization have obligation to contribute to projects.
Larry: OCIO has a separate role for TSC chair. We can be creative with how we divide the roles. Few things come to formal votes.
Cary elected TSC chair
Action items:
- Set up aswf.io mailing lists; send message asking recipients to sign up over there; this lets us know who the community is.
- Set up private TSC alias.
- Move github repo to ASWF (contents will be unchanged, address will not change)
- John: contact Steve Winslow about code scanning, make sure license compliance in order.
- Cary: Add permissions to github repos
