The OpenStack Technical Committee ("TC") met in #openstack-meeting at 20:00 UTC on Tuesday.
Here is a quick summary of the outcome of this meeting: * The TC approved the special motion on the incubation process evolution: 1. Incubation is the process managed by the TC through which a project becomes part of the co-ordinated, integrated OpenStack release. 2. Projects which are part of a co-ordinated release should be referred to as "Integrated" in that release. Previously this was one of the meanings of the term "Core". 3. Projects apply to the TC to join Incubation. Their "incubation request" is assessed by the TC on the basis of the project's technical maturity and the appropriateness of its scope. 4. At the end of every development cycle, before PTL elections are held, the TC carries out an "end of cycle graduation review" of the projects currently in Incubation. Projects will graduate from Incubation if they are considered mature, stable in design, complementary in scope and well aligned to the development cycle and processes. Graduating projects will be part of the next development cycle and fully integrated in subsequent releases. Under the current 6 month release cycle, this means a graduating project will be Integrated in the release 8 months after the TC deems it ready to graduate from Incubation. 5. The TC charter[1] will be updated to replace the word "core" with "integrated" as per (2). The effect of this change will be that PTLs for projects graduating from Incubation will be automatically granted a seat on the next TC. 6. The following sentence will be removed from the TC's charter: "The TC recommends projects for Core status addition, combination, split or deletion of the Board of Directors, which has the sole authority to approve them". The process for assigning projects "core" status is still under discussion, but we do not anticipate the process will be triggered by a recommendation from the TC and, therefore, this statement is inaccurate and should be removed. Further TC charter changes may be recommended in future to reflect the new process for core status.

This review will continue next week.
