Liaison sets context for call
9a113d
Karsten discussing the context of the call, particularly the last gap in our plans related to lifecycle.  When we took 8 out of the CentOS stream name, we left it without any sort of lifecycle which is confusing people and difficult to message

Need a quick comment on transition / CentOS 8
9a113d
Red Hat has been listening to the feedback and sorry for the late change in plans but Red Hat agrees that we will ship the clone and call it CentOS 8.  This means we will *not* have to ship nor name anything called “transition”.  However we don’t want to discuss lifecycle publically, we’d like the ability to give a 1 year notice before we stop building it.

Share and discuss proposed solutions to gap in agreement
9a113d
Red Hat proposed a one year overlap between major releases so there’s not an immediate significant bump to people.  That overlap starts one year before RHEL9 GA, and ends at RHEL9 GA.
9a113d
People generally think that with the name change proposed above (Call the clone “CentOS 8”) and giving a one year overlap is a sufficient path to success.

Decision
9a113d
Following this meeting, the Board of Directors reached consensus in favor of the final version of the Red Hat proposal around CentOS Stream. This includes a BOD commitment to promoting Stream, as well as working regularly with the business to track progress on adoption and shift away from the rebuild.
