Hi, everybody, a few announcements. Please note that the next two scheduled TSC meetings, for June 19 and July 3, are both cancelled due to those days being US holidays. We will resume on July 17 and try to conduct TSC business by email until then, however, we will let you know if we decide to schedule a one-off meeting sometime during the gap period if we feel it's necessary. Stay tuned.
In lieu of Monday's meeting, let's now go over the items we would have discussed. Please read this all, some will require follow-up from some of you: 1. Communications If you haven't yet, please sign up for the new email list <https://lists.aswf.io/g/oiio-dev/>. The full switch away from the old list and to the new one is IMMINENT. You have been warned. If you Slack, please join the #openimageio channel on the ASWF Slack workspace <https://slack.aswf.io/>. Anybody interested in the project (but especially TSC members and code contributors) are strongly encouraged to "watch" the project GitHub <https://github.com/OpenImageIO/oiio> so you get alerts about new PRs, discussions, issues, and releases. TSC meetings are over Zoom every second Monday at 2pm Pacific time and open to all who are interested. See the ASWF meeting calendar https://www.aswf.io/meeting-calendar/ to get an invite including the zoom link. (But note the cancellations we mentioned above.) 2. Technical Steering Committee The current voting TSC member roster is as follows: * Daniel Greenstein - Sony Pictures Imageworks (chair and TAC representative) * Larry Gritz - Sony Pictures Imageworks (chief architect) * Anton Dukhovnikov - Wētā Digital / Unity * Joseph Goldstone - ARRI * Lewis Wakeland - Disney TV Animation * Luke Emrose - Animal Logic * Martin Davies - LAIKA * Robin Rowe - Heroic Robots * Thiago Ize - Autodesk If you are one of these people, please note that instructions below to "TSC members" means you! It is still possible to volunteer to be on the TSC, and we would love to have another 2-3 people to further broaden the TSC diversity in all dimensions (companies or projects represented, areas of expertise, demographics, and use cases). Note that you don't need to be a formal TSC member to attend meetings, help steer the project, or be major code contributors. Also, it is not necessary to work for a large company (or an ASWF member company) to serve on the TSC. 3. Yes, please do start taking ownership of this project, every one of you reading this. Review and comment on PRs Answer/solve issues or reply to email/slack/etc from users needing help, if you know the answer Submit PRs for features or fixes you think you can implement If you ever see me say "Mackerel", that's our playful code word for "this is a great opportunity for somebody who isn't LG to try tackling this one and learn to fish." 4. Reminder about licensing policy Over the last two meetings, there appeared to be consensus that the NEW code entering the project be contributed under the Apache 2.0 open source license. Old code entered under BSD-3-clause. We will contact historical authors and ask them to effectively "re-contribute" their prior PRs, under the new license, with the goal of very quickly having the vast majority the old code also becoming Apache 2.0. We will carefully document which files or sections of the code base are Apache 2.0, BSD, or a mix. 5. PR #3850: Founding documents that need discussion or approval <https://github.com/OpenImageIO/oiio/pull/3850> Please see the PR at the above link for current drafts of the Project Technical Charter, GOVERNANCE and CONTRIBUTING documents, new CLAs we will switch to, and Code of Conduct. If anybody has concerns or requests for change, please comment on the PR or open a discussion on the new mail list. TSC members, please read these over and vote below... 6. ACTION ITEMS: TSC VOTES NEEDED TSC voting members: please reply to this email giving your choice for each of the following items: Approve project charter: (note: it's essentially identical to OSL and many other ASWF projects) Yes / No / Needs further discussion Approve code of conduct: (note: standard Linux Foundation CoC, nothing custom) Yes / No / Needs further discussion Approve new CLA: (note: it's the standard one ASWF prefers now and used by several other projects) Yes / No / Needs further discussion Approve GOVERNANCE.md contents: (mostly outlines responsibilities of contributors and TSC members) Yes / No / Needs further discussion Approve CONTRIBUTING.md contents: (minor updates to the same as we've had for a long time) Yes / No / Needs further discussion Approve the proposed plan for license change to Apache 2.0 for new code contributions: Yes / No / Needs further discussion Not a voting TSC member?
