The Oversight Board acknowledged and celebrated the great job Simon has been doing on managing the 0.82 release.
Administrative
- OB meeting protocols
- We'll appoint someone to take minutes each meeting; We'll announce the meetings on the Sugar and IAEP lists (they are already announced on Sugar Digest and in the wiki). Agendas are set in the wiki.
- Additional OB representatives (learning, design, deployment)
- We agreed that having representation from these areas is important. We'll make explicit invitations to ensure these voices are heard. Walter will follow up.
- Finalize SFC agreement
- Moving ahead, but still waiting for final agreement from SFC for the OB to sign.
- Appoint (Membership)
- Dfarning will organize/liaison with the Membership committee; Gregdek will organize/liaison with the Events committee; Bernie will organize/liaison with the Infrastructure committee; Simon will organize/liaison with the Test committee; Walter will organize/liaison with the Deployment committee
- Appoint Ombudsman
- If Bert is willing, we'd like to make his acting role permanent.
- Proposals
- We discussed a process whereby Sugar Labs vets proposals: a public discussion of the general ideas and an approval by the OB regarding the specifics.
- Fund raising
- Walter will prepare a report for the next meeting about various possibilities. The idea of helping external groups form to share in the development and support burden was seen as a favorable strategy. Raising money for "events" was seen as important.
