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.

  • TSC Membership Interest from Adfinis (email)

    • Motion voted, carried (see template below).

  • Committer exception for Geoffrey @ G Research OSS (email)

    • I’d love to see them on our TSC as well as SAP or Reply; this seems like a good first step.

 

  • Project updates:

    • Growing interest in PKCS#11 working group.

    • Horizontal scalability to be revived soon.

    • UI might be split off as a working group depending on community’s interest in contributing. Adfinis is leading that effort.

    • FIPS might also be a new topic that we might form a working group around.
