Meeting notes

  • Roll call

  • Action item review:

    • Botathon bots contribution:

      • Peter: Aliaksandr indicated yesterday that only 9 of the 16 bots had been internally approved so far (here's the wiki page he's using to track this)

      • Lawrence: might be a miscommunication - I'll make sure he's updated.  One issue that was raised was to rename the C3P0 bot - we don't want to run into trademark issues.  This would be good practice for contributions to the Foundation in general.

      • Peter: overall, it's looking great.  I worked with Aliaksandr quite a bit last week to get the necessary LICENSE and NOTICE files in place, and Aliaksandr did a license check across all transitive dependencies - everything appears to be ready for contribution.  Although the contributions are currently housed in a single private Github repository, the plan is to separate them out into 16 separate symphonyOSS Github repositories, as that's more compatible with how most Github-integrated infrastructure (Travis, VersionEye, etc.) expect to work.

    • Potential by-laws changes to support ESCo devolving some of its own authority

      • Lawrence: I don't have access to the by-laws 

      • Peter: I'll send you the link

      • Lawrence: I'd love an update

      • Peter: action is assigned to you and Gab, though Gab isn't present and has been on vacation the last two weeks.  Are you able to give an update?

      • Lawrence: not sure it makes sense for the action to rest with the LLC

      • Peter: ok - I'll reassign it solely to Gab

      • Lawrence: there are also unrelated changes to the by-laws being discussed e.g. around tiers of membership

      • Peter: some other changes possible too - currently we're thinking of bundling them up together and presenting to the board once for approval

  • AOB:

    • Frank: discussing with Blackrock (Matt Gardner) regarding some contributions they'd like to make to the symphony-java-client

    • Frank: helpdesk-bot videos that were prepared internally are close to legal approval (just need to blur out some sensitive information), then we'll be able to share them with the Foundation

  • Ended early (after 20 minutes)
