Agenda:

  2. An update from the Diversity Work Group - Egle, Carol,
  3. CLA/DCO update - Eileen, Nisa
  4. Expanding the OpenStack mission statement
    • Some within the TC (who also happen to be board members) would like to consider the possibility to expand the OpenStack mission statement, in particular to mention users. This statement is pretty central to what we do, and I feel that the board should be involved in that process if we are to carry that forward.
  5. Ask the board if they have anything they want from the TC
    • We could frame that as an open discussion at the end of the session. What each group still needs from the other. That would be the occasion to come back on the past and future improvements in DefCore/TC coordination (I think we are in a way better shape right now than we ever were, thanks to Chris Hoge and a few others bridging the gap), but also detect remaining pain points that we might want to address.
  6. Big Tent
    • A read out from the TC of what is working and challenges that have emerged
