It was agreed that the Steering member reps would receive clothing with the logo. Jory will coordinate the design and logistics.
It has been previously discussed that the Working Groups should probably appoint co-chairs but nothing had been done yet. It was decided since Andy is travelling next week that a co-chair would be appointed by the Steering Committee. John Melanakos will take on this role. John was the CEO of the company behind the open source Arrayfire cross vendor library and was previously considered for the chair role in the group during.
Rod shared the results of an audit he did based on a health checklist of best practices for open source projects. This looks at things like licensing, public communication and decision making. The results uncover some changes that are strongly recommended in order to ensure the projects are set up for community contribution. The results have been shared with the Working Group leaders and will be used as a public dashboard through the year to track improvements to the projects.
It was agreed this is a good way to track project progress towards open source best practices.
Robert stated that there are individuals who would like to become maintainers for parts of the projects but this is not yet possible due to some of the ways the projects operate. Build infrastructure is definitely something that should be a priority for members to work on.
Attendees were requested to find out about the potential for their organisation providing build infrastructure. Rod has created issues to track these requests for Arm, VMware, Intel, Google.
