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?
