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)
