Announcement and Issues

  • Alex: Regarding roadmap item of the plugin registry (lead by Jan), LF leadership will be here next meeting to discuss policy requirements.

  • Alex: Dave Dykstra has applied to be a repository-level committer for JWT plugin. As he’s otherwise qualified and has contributed upstream to the JWT plugin and to Vault, l believe we’ll need a TSC vote as he’s not been a moderator for 90 days as we’ve had no moderators. First PR was on May 8th (210 days) and participates frequently in community calls and adhoc calls on features with Dan and myself. Anyone in favor of an exception per policy?

 

  • Alex: Vote to form WG on TSC Membership process?

    • Note: LF Edge requires at least 5 TSC members (from any affiliation) for project maturity.

    • Dan, James would happily be involved with WG.

    • Alex (9/26): No takers via email, but here’s a proposal (gist, email). Do we want to vote on it?

    • James, consensus: Discuss TSC policy when more companies wish to join in the future.

  • Alex: Did we want to vote on support/EoL policy for OpenBao (see email) from last meeting, or OK with it as consensus? → Voted yes.

    • Alex: Will revisit next meeting (10/10) to give more time to review.

    • Alex: will clarify monthly-ish release means vulnerability/bug fixes, not necessarily a feature release.

  • Alex: Dev WG charter drafted by Dan and approved by Dev WG; want TSC’s approval: (email). → Deferred to next meeting.

  • Alex: Vote to include GitLab under above TSC Membership process? → Voted yes

 

  • Alain & Alex: Mission statements are inconsistent between charter and lf edge. → Deferred to next meeting.

    • Charter: The mission of the Project is to provide a solution to manage (generate, store, distribute) software secrets, including passwords, certificates, keys and access tokens.

    • Website: OpenBao exists to maintain and improve a software solution to manage, store, and distribute sensitive data including secrets, certificates, and keys. The OpenBao community will provide this software under an OSI-approved open-source license, led by a community run under open governance principles.

    • Motion: Update website with Charter’s version?
