Thank you all for a
pleasant and productive meeting today -- and for those who couldn't join
us, I hope we'll see you next time!
I've
filtered out decisions and action items as follows (note: there is
a 'read these' action item assigned to "group" -- that means everyone
has at least one item they can do to contribute to the good of the cause
before our next meeting :D). Also -- I've given decisions an id# so that we can keep specific tasks connected to the reasons we decided to do them.
Decisions:
[D1:
Proceed with work] We decided to try to take a two pronged approach:
continuing to make good faith efforts to secure the agreement of
relevant parties about making use of efforts made under the previous
IEEE umbrella AND reconstruct, convert, and resume our efforts.
[D2:
Decisionmaking processes] We agreed in principle to a lightweight and
consensus oriented approach with some degree of reflexivity and feedback
built in.
[D3: Initial scope] We decided to carve out a subset of topics to make preliminary progress, with two selected:
- trademarks, logos, etc.
- community governance
We were in general agreement about the value of emphasizing best
practices and offering specific guidance, with one candidate paradigm
being the decision tree.
[D4: Re-build group, onboard, and outreach]
We were in agreement that
we need to continue to organize ourselves into groups, be transparent in
our approaches, build up a core group of participants, and support
engagement. Several people committed to engage with their networks as
well as participate in some preliminary progress in order to support the
re-building effort.
[Group] All participants are asked to read the Mozilla Archetypes
Report[1] and the Standard for Public Code[2] to inform our next rounds of
discussion. (D3)
[Cat] Will inquire with IEEE SA and Steph Walli regarding ownership/licensing of prior effort (D1)
[Boris] Will continue to push forward on nudging people to fill out the
survey to grant rights over the past material (D1)
[Boris] Will grant commit rights as needed; participants need to agree to the Eclipse Contributor Agreement (D4)
[Boris] Will create a Matrix room for us under the Eclipse umbrella (D4)
[Kaylea] Will draft candidate language for decisionmaking processes (D2)
[Kaylea] Will send out minutes and poll for next meeting (3 weeks from now? We need a regular cadence!) (D4)
[Evan] Will (re) draft trademark/logos materials (D3)
Please propose any changes to the above and/or be bold and fix the notes.
