Notes

License

  • Kimball being absent, there is not enough quorum today to talk about the license. 

    • TODO: License to be checked by Kimball and Weta Digital management.

Meeting Cadence

  • Every two weeks meeting is good start.

  • Thomas: Consider changing meeting time when Worldwide Daylight Savings Frenzy stabilises.

    • TODO: Reassess meeting time after the 7th November.

Charter

  • John: The charter has the project name and the project is registered as legal entity thus picking name or changing early is good idea.

  • The Project Name vs the Operating Name can be different, e.g. OpenEXR vs OpenEXR a Series of LF Projects.

  • Because the project name has been used in the past by the Academy, it needs formal agreement with the it to resolve any trademark legal issues.

    • TODO: Alex to talk with Kimball to sort out the project name.

House Cleaning

  • TODO: John creating ASWF WIKI for agenda and notes storage.
