- introductions
- John introduces the TSC concept: small group that leads the project - roadmap, direction, "servant leadership"
- mediate, address concerns
- open to anyone -- invite new people when they come on board as contributors of any kind
- Pierre: let's discuss governance model. He suggests using OSL (OpenShadingLanguage) as a model
- John: charter is the legal doc, governance is process and policies in community. Governance is more fluid, charter is set in stone.
- One of our goals will be to formalize the standard change/update process
- Maybe look at https://github.com/CommunitySpecification/Community_Specification
- IP issues: patent, copyright, CLA, etc.
- Meeting cadence: 1x/mo is normal/ok? -- we agreed to do monthly
- special topics per meeting is a good idea
- Pierre suggests alternating times: morning vs. evening for Asia/Europe
- Interactions w/ other groups:
- TAC every-other-week meetings, someone should be there (see Michelle)
- Annual review (for us, would be May/June 2023)
- project updates
- Annual events: open-source day (next week, dev audience), and "open source forum" Feb/Mar in LA around award season, executive audience
- Every other month Sept/Nov/Jan: provide update to governing board meeting
- chairperson
- not too in depth
- Pierre suggests chairperson could deputize someone to attend TAC meetings to avoid too much time spent
- Gary volunteered as chairperson of the TSC, for now at least
- Michelle: Here's a link to some sample TAC updates for the Governing Board : https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1l_gP5W0ju748Uu3wYTVk0yFks8bRQOd3Me6W-Cz5DAw/edit?usp=sharing
- Metrics will come from the LFX platform and will be updated by me.
- Infrastructure transition:
- mailing list is set up now
- transition Google group - John can migrate archives, then we post to the list saying it'll be archived in 2 wks, please sign up for new list
- people need an LFID to join
- J-P is working w/ lawyer on IP transfer and association dissolution vote
- initial copyright will be transferred to ASWF, but other contributions owned by contributors
- Discussion re: charter. Pierre asks to see the OSL charter (https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/foundation/blob/main/project_charters/open-shading-language-charter.md)
- Current license is BSD 3-clause. Could/would we want to switch?
- Resolution: don't need to switch, stick with BSD
- Review of tech charter
- Documentation will be under CC-Attribution 4.0, digital assets CDLA-Permissive
- Discussion about the best license for digital assets
- Resolution: keep as it is
- Contributions: DCO, auto from github (via web interface), CLI have to use
git commit -s - Let's not require CLA, too complicated
- CLAs typically used in industries with IP concerns, explicit patent concerns
- companies can authorize who can contribute on their behalf
- Resolution: we'll stick with DCO (can be changed if we ever need)
- Next steps: execute charter and IP transfer agreements
- github org:
- "thelinuxfoundation" -- add as owner (Gary)
- could keep ofxa github org, but can transfer into aswf
- Turn on DCO checks in github settings, and add a bot (dco probot)
- Wait until legal process is complete, then transfer github org (Gary will do this)
- Logo discussion: we like 2b, but "less Metallica"
- Presentation: Emily sent Zoom creds, we can send to individuals but not post widely. Here's the event registration link:
- Meeting adjourned 10:09am EDT
