Project Confirmation

  1. (10:10) [Zuul] - James Blair, Monty Taylor
    Monty presented the Zuul project for confirmation at the April 8, 2019 board meeting. No further presentation is requested. 2 items of action from that meeting: Board to approve the use of the GPLv3 license within the Zuul project and motion to approve Zuul as a confirmed Open Infrastructure project of the OpenStack Foundation.
    Proposed wording:
    Whereas the Zuul project currently uses the GNU General Public License version 3 for code implementing independent services and supporting infrastructure, in a way that does not require the users of the OpenStack project to license OpenStack code under GPLv3 (and such conclusion has been confirmed by the OpenStack Foundation legal counsel);
    Whereas the Zuul Maintainers and Project Lead will review any substantial changes in their use of GPLv3 or other copyleft licenses with OpenStack Foundation legal counsel;
    RESOLVED that the Zuul project is approved to continue using GPLv3 in the same manner;
    FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Zuul project is approved as a confirmed Open Infrastructure Project under the OSF Confirmation Guidelines.

Bylaws update

  1. (11:30) Proposal to equip the board to discuss sensitive project confirmation materials within Executive Session
    1. Alan has the action item from the March 5 board meeting to work with Legal and Executive Staff to develop a proposal for a motion to be made at the April 28, 2019 board meeting
      As the OpenStack Foundation embraces new areas of strategic focus and as the associated Open Infrastructure projects mature, the OpenStack board desires to do its part in helping the projects thrive and grow. A key step in project advancement is the project confirmation by the board. Confirmation will enable the Foundation to apply additional Foundation resources towards that project. In support of this process, the board at its last meeting, approved the OSF Project Confirmation Guidelines[1]. As the Guidelines point out, many factors go into the board’s decisions. To ensure that the board has the mechanisms needed to be as sensitive as possible to the needs and feelings for those invested in the projects, the board will further discuss a motion to amend the bylaws section 4.16 as follows: (changed text in italics).
    2. Note feedback from the community
    3. Proposed addition to the Confirmation Guidelines (within the Process section) - Action: Allison to provide text changes
      Add point: The discussion meeting will be an open meeting. The Board, the Foundation staff, or the pilot project may optionally request an executive session for part of the meeting, if some discussion topics have special sensitivity for legal or privacy reasons.
      Update point: The Board will review the project's application and vote whether to confirm it in the open meeting.
    4. blaws 4.16 Open Meetings and Records.( Proposed changed text in italics).
      Except as necessary to protect attorney-client privilege, sensitive personnel information, discuss the candidacy of potential Gold Member and Platinum Members, and discuss the review and approval of Open Infrastructure Projects, the Board of Directors shall: (i) permit observation of its meetings by Members via remote teleconference or other electronic means, and (ii) publish the Board of Directors minutes and make available to any Member on request other information and records of the Foundation as required by Delaware Corporate Law.
