This is the set of minutes from the Steering Committee meeting to be published. Until December 14th minutes were shared between members. It is now the intention to publish the minutes from each meeting.
We welcome Ramesh from VMware to the Steering Committee. Invitations for all the UXL Foundation meetings are now being managed by the Linux Foundation platform. You will receive an invitation to meetings where you are on the mailing list. If there are any issues please let Jory know.
Verena Beckham from Codeplay proposed a Safety Critical SIG for the foundation at a committee meeting in November. The group considered this and agreed to approve the new SIG. The necessary mailing list and other arrangements will be set up.
The leaders for the Working Groups has been appointed (Specification - Robert Cohn (Intel) and Open Source - Andrew Wafaa (Arm)). All Steering members are requested to assing their representatives for these groups. It is anticipated that the first Working Groups meetings will happen in January or February.
Currently all project repositories are living under the oneapi-src organisation on GitHub. Robert Cohn is discussing with the project maintainers about a transition plan so that these can live under an UXL Foundation organisation(s). The Open Source Working Group will work on this to ensure there is a smooth transition.
A draft version of the UXL Foundation Operational Procedures has been published on GitHub. The group discussed the implementation of a 45 day waiting period before approval of a new specification version. It was agreed the new version can be published but will include a banner during the 45 day waiting period that indicates it is not yet approved. The changes will be made to the draft operational procedures.
Discussion was had on how anyone might go about either proposing or adding a new project or specification to the foundation. The group agreed a lightweight process is required for this but in practice the topic should be brought to the Steering Committee. An issue was added and this will be added to the operational procedures.
