Greetings, OpenImageIO community! As many of you know, OpenImageIO has been admitted as an ASWF project. One of the next steps is to form the Technical Steering Committee (TSC), which is the formal leadership of the project.
If you or your organization, product, or software project have OIIO as a major dependency or are power users, then congratulations -- you are a stakeholder! Please consider also being a contributor in some way, up to and including being on the TSC. We have scheduled the first meeting for Monday, May 22, at 2pm PDT, over Zoom. This is an open meeting and all stakeholders are welcome. TSC meetings are likely to be ongoing and every two weeks, as is typical for these groups (day and time TBD, it doesn't have to this slot, will depend on what is most convenient for TSC members). I don't have the zoom link yet, but the ASWF calendar is here https://www.aswf.io/meeting-calendar/ and so watch that space for this meeting to show up. The most important items on the agenda for this first meeting will be: * Actually formalizing who will comprise the TSC (the only prerequisite is being a stakeholder with a willingness to participate on an ongoing basis), and to the extent possible, mapping out which tasks or topics might fall into the wheelhouse of different participants. * Officially voting (if we can reach agreement) to ratify the charter, choose a chair, lock down the choice of license and CLA, and other such matters. * Reviewing and doling out administrative tasks that need to happen to complete the project intake and get us up to speed as an operating ASWF project. You don't need to be a prolific contributor of code to be on the TSC (though it's best if *most* TSC members are also committed to actually working on the code to some degree). Nor do you need to be a TSC member to work, even extensively, on the code. And you don't need to be a TSC member to attend meetings or even to be a major force in helping to steer the project. It is actually very seldom that we do something that requires a formal TSC vote. It's also worth noting that TSC membership is not a lifelong obligation. People's jobs, responsibilities, and time commitments change over time, so it's fine to turn your seat over to a different person at your organization when circumstances change, or even to start out knowing that you are temporary and a more suitable long-term replacement will be substituted at some point. I hope to see some of you at the meeting. -- Larry Gritz l...@larrygritz.com _______________________________________________ Oiio-dev mailing list Oiio-dev@lists.openimageio.org http://lists.openimageio.org/listinfo.cgi/oiio-dev-openimageio.org
