## Notes
### Karsten brings up the Linux Foundation press release
KB: why is Stephanie involved?
Karsten: why is LF involved?
Karsten: Stephanie is simply a help resource we can use
KB: LF is not running the virt sig, rh is not running the virt sig
Carl: Press release needs to come to the board. Do we even want one?
Carl: notes how Apache Foundation handles such things
KB: Press release from their end vs. from our end
Karsten: none of us are pr experts. it’s good to have help.
Jim: just learned about this today. I want to see the release. Doesn’t matter that it’s for summit. Help from Stephanie is fine, but she is not a blocker.
Carl: If the release makes any representation about the project, then they need our approval
Carl: we should establish a press list and develop some expertise and rules
KB: haven’t had a chance to look. only had it for five minutes
KB: no need for this to block for weeks
Carl: need to formalize how we handle issuing our press releases.
through RH?
through another company that employs one of us?
Jim: can we view/crib the ASF policy?
Carl: yes
KB: let’s get this particular release handled in the next day for so and try to formalize the process later
Chinese language forum request
KB: relates previous attempt at a CN language forum
no activity
KB: Let’s do something more general, rather than specifically target one language
folks in Japan are interested, as well as...
indonesia
malaysia
brazil
every language group gets <langcode>.centos.org and a mailing list
set up a language moderators group
document how this process works
at least one member needs to: speak english, join moderators list
KB: this particular CN request comes from someone who might be problematic
may want too much autonomy
Mike: wonders if we should use hyperkitty
https://fedorahosted.org/hyperkitty/
demo: https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/
KB: who is will to take ownership of delivering this?
KB: not it!
Perhaps someone in the community?
Johnny: I can create mailing lists and stand up forums pretty easily
Fabian: phpbb might not be that trivial
Fabian: no centralized auth
Fabian: we’ll have to retool heavily in the future
Carl: should we have a vote?
Statement : The board will allow the development of forums, lists, and content in other languages managed on CentOS infra and by the CentOS project open to contribution by all. The project will not delegate the running of CentOS branding infra, forums and such to 3rd parties.
### Vote:
* yes: KB, Jim, Karsten,Carl, Fabian, Mike, Johnny
Carl review the versioning proposal
[see slide deck] -> where ? in google drive ?
(attached to “Numbering” thread on board mailing list)
(lots of discussion)
Johnny/Fabian are concerned that if we find it confusing, then the community will find it even more so and react negatively
Carl expresses willingness to spend more time to get it right
### Dojos
KB: Lyon is sold out
Karsten: what is happening with Denver?
