ac2dcb |
Volunteer help having time conflict to having a meeting.

|
ac2dcb |
Meeting time is not convenient for anyone.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Need a separate IRC channel? #centos-meeting
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Recommendation is to go back to Julien and have him find a good-enough time using an alternative IRC channel if needed.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Julien is driving but is concerned about complexity.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Separate tag for each version of each tool …?
|
|
|
ac2dcb |

### Centosproject.org
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Email redirector for people with accounts on accounts.centos.org
|
|

|
|

ac2dcb |
Process

Cla_done is patched out of our FAS

|
|
ac2dcb |
Karsten suggested then withdrew
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Can we do that with “any” SIG approval?
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Concern is to make sure people are real contributors
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
It should mean something.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
SIG chair response can be slow in ack’ing users.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Need to specify criteria before announcing …
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Proposal: Should we provide this as an email alias/redirector for all contributors?
|
|
|
ac2dcb |

|
|
|

### SIG merit rises …
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Do we have a process to promote SIGs?
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Scaffolding already in place.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Need more docs about how SIGs work.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Not much written down, very verbal
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Keeping it sane, easy, process-lite.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
New SIGs bring same questions each time.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Expectations on SIGs vary.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
At what part do they sponsor own people, sign own packages.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Can we have a SIG how-to, what document discussion?
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Karsten volunteering to pull that meeting/discussion together.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Look into SIG guide
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
https://wiki.centos.org/SIGGuide
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Good to use for centering of the SIG lead discussion ^^^^^
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
What are merit levels?
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
0. SIG Chair(s) exist & have membership.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
1. SIG Chair(s) can sponsor members.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
2. SIG Chair(s) can sign content.
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Maybe can delegate sponsorship?
|
|
|
ac2dcb |
Proposal -- Board sponsor suggest SIG is ready and asks for vote. (post-minutes comment from KW: Meaning, when the Board sponsor for a SIG thinks it is ready to move up the merit levels, that Board member asks the Board to vote on the rise. Presumably others can also suggest, but the sponsor really is the champion for a SIG on the Board, as per Governance.)
