  • Replacement sponsor has been found, thanks to Joe. Rene Pinto @ Zededa, thank you!

Decisions

 

  • Should OpenBao start putting together recommendations for budget(s) in the event of direct funding?

    • Should OpenBao investigate how to and begin selling merch to fund the project and allow individuals to show support?

      • YC uses FourthWall which supports stickers

      • OpenSSF uses MySpreadShop, and also has stickers. Likely will prefer LF approved vendor.

      • Tabled until membership is decided

    • AI @ Alex & Community: Formally propose expenses to the TSC.

  • Should OpenBao consider moving out of LF Edge into another LF subproject more suitable to our membership?

    • OpenSSF, CNCF, FinOS, and direct membership have all been expressed as options.

    • Staying in LF Edge is an option but we’re short two requirements for stage 1:

      • 1. TAC sponsor (only need one; EdgeX’s TAC seat is secure)

      • 2. A premier membership company.

      • Not clear status of IBM sponsorship desires.

    • Alex (March): Update on OpenSSF discussions

      • AI @ Alex - Send out E-Vote to approve starting the move process to OpenSSF (2 week)

    • Alex (April): Earlier vote passed, sandbox application is in-progress: https://github.com/ossf/tac/pull/461

  • Increasing European representation; additional committers, Dev WG members, potential TSC members (private email)
