Actions
ACTION: All Read through the Public notes
(Carry all actions from notes below up to this section)
Decisions, resolutions, and agreements
Agenda + Minutes
Time commitment from Directors for Board business - 1 hour/week, ticket system
Git.centos.org vs. pagure.io
If use GitHub, talk with Freshman Gady for sec review
Using our own tool is straightforward, without a deeper analysis
Pagure.io would be hosted for us, moving way eventually
Purpose
Way for us to engage with the community
Way for us to work through things
Decision: git.centos.org, revisit in a few months
RH membership/seats
No doc yet
ACTION: We recognize that there is an issue here we need to work through, and we do not identify a high risk at this time while we work through it. KB writing a statement here for the public notes.
ACTION: Bring Rich Bowen to Board calls, how? Do it by the next meeting.
Vision and strategy == “open goals update” for centos.org/about
KB’s points about vision from here -- what do we want the Project to look like in 3 to 5 years?
Heavily invested in success above the platform - RDO, etc. SIGs is where the action was, distro was nice and boring. C6 -> C8 early model
Stream as the new vision has to make a usable thing.
It may not be the only thing we do
We need to reach out to get participation from various groups that aren’t on -devel.
Open goals refresh (doc)
ACTION: Need timeline commitment from Board -- be ready to close and announce next meeting
What do we need to announce?
The completed doc above;
Announce email that includes the non-Board co-authors & why they are there;
The clear, milestone-based open decision process we are going to follow to bring this thing to a conclusion.
Who are the known stakeholders
Invitation to step up, define as stakeholder, and do the work/bring voice for that view; good faith requirement
List who are the deciders - Board only, or plus Red Hat in some way
CentOS Stream success criteria doc
This is our lever in protecting the community we care about.
What deadline can we commit to?
Liaison role draft
Our progress, the status
Bex doing RH side to present to the Board
Role’s we’ve historically had in the Liaison bucket may be in the actual purview of an RH staffer e.g. Bex, Director, community manager e.g. Rich, or a more-clarified Liaison.
Redesign discussions updated
Logo redesign
Website redesign -- ongoing process, Thomas to tell Alain
Bylaws
Need to get on this one after the open goals review
Or sooner
Lots of RH stakeholder work to do here
Governance
Adding Secretary role to existing governance
Any other changes to existing?
How does this roll into Bylaws?
Rolling (last from 2020-02-11):
Keep eye on git.centos.org usage for Board
(Private) Trademark Guidelines review:
What works & what does not.
What do we want to get fixed; who wants to work on that.
(Private) Advisory Council - discussion toward a proposal - discussion draft
On hold while goals discussion is held, which includes a review and update of governance. We’ll figure out what model we want from that and how this idea might fit.
Any other topics aka What other things do you want on our master initiatives list?
Stepping-up our meeting norms
Transparency initiatives
