The OpenStack Technical Committee is one of the governing bodies of the OpenStack project. You can find more information about it, such as the list of its current members or its governance charter, on the OpenStack TC governance website at https://governance.openstack.org/tc/. We hold the weekly meeting.

This page tracks the various governance changes being proposed and the various initiatives the Technical Committee is pursuing. Since Xena release cycle we started to track the items in etherpad. At the start of every release cycle, the OpenStack Technical Committee will prepare that release tracker which can include the backlogs from the previous release if any item is not finished and worth continuing.
