Minutes

• CLA
  • Casey Cain heard from LF CLA team
  • Needed to make more changes by request of LF Legal
  • In theory should now be live by next Friday (March 29th)
  • Hopefully ccain will have access to CLA admin console by tomorrow (fingers crossed)
    • Start testing on his side
  • Will keep folks up to date
• tsc@?
  • Edward Ting isn't receiving email for this 
  • Seems to be caught in moderation?
  • ccain is clearing that queue
  • Joseph: first email to the list is always moderated
    • So this is sorted now that his message is approved
  • SK expresses concerns about the speed of the moderation process
    • ccain assures folks that the queue gets checked daily
• Release (standing topic that's a part of the template)
  • What's up with 5.1…?
  • Still in the works
  • SK needs to know the plan for releases once they move to the community
    • VMB will send him & the tsc@ list the doc folks have been working on about that
• Blueprint review process
  
  • Sukhdev Kapur Asks if we can have a streamlined process for approving blueprints.
  • ccain lists out a proposed process
  • JG: that's similar to in the past but is it documented anywhere?
    • Also, discussion of these rarely takes only 10 minutes
  • SK walks through some existing contrail blueprint/spec templates
    • https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-specs/blob/master/blueprint_template.md
    • https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-specs/blob/master/design_template.md
  • The existing Jira for Blueprints: https://jira.tungsten.io/projects/TFB/issues/TFB-1384?filter=allopenissues
• ARB
  • Suggested that the ARB isn't needed, replace with PTLs?
  • Randy isn't here to speak on the subject
  • SK is A-OK with considering this, but stresses that will need to discuss this in context of using PTLs/core committers appropriately (per governance doc)
    • Were leaning on ARB because there weren't any PTLs
  • ccain suggests maybe need to have another look at the community governance doc & perhaps rev it?
    • ARB & PTLs need to be addressed
    • Release process, too
    • Lots of work to do, after we put out other fires (like the infra migration & CLAs)
  • SK suggests do this as part of repo migration
    • Declare some defactor core committers at that time
    • Bootstrap the PTLs in this way
    • Can do PTL elections later after things settle in a bit
    • Wouldn't need ARB if there are PTLs
  • VMB is generally +1 on the idea but stresses must ensure core/PTLs are aware of & accept the responsibilities
  • Will continue the discussion on list and in next call
