      • Nominations under way issue 12, 13
    • Vicky: At the level that Wallmart joined LFN they already get someone on the TAC
      • L3AF nomination would give Wallmart 2 on the TAC.
        • Should they fill the first position instead of L3AF nominating a second?
    • LJ: It is a TAC seat and a governing seat.
    • Vicky: from LFN perspective it is not an issue
      • What is best for L3AF as a project.
      • Wallmart should think it through
    • Jason: We don't currently have a TAC rep and didn't know that there was an open seat.
      • We definitely want one.

    • Santosh: Will check into this.
    • Jason: Would prefer Santosh to be the L3AF TAC rep.
    • Vicky: Would be very comfortable with Santosh, but Wallmart should think through the politics of the issue.
    • Jason: Will take as an action item. What is best for Wallamrt and for L3AF
    • LJ: Back to TAC conditions for induction?
      • Need something for Mar 23.

        • Committers may be set already for other repo., but do not have visibility yet.
        • Code owners file lists people by name who gets to review and who gets to review and merge.
        • Not going to mimic terrible, horrible process
      • LJ: TAC is trying to get the ship steered in the right direction
      • Vicky: Cleaning up existing problems in TAC is a TAC problem, not a L3AF probem
      • Jason: Right now just put contribs directly in file
      • Santhosh: Most of the names are already fixed.
      • Vicky: A shame to duplicate effort, between access and code owners, but at least we have working files.
      • LJ: Next step. What is process for adding/removing to/from code owners list.
        • Vicky: pretty minimal at this point because we are small. No need for large overhead processes.

          • Santhosh: Yes, it will be both internal and external
        • Vicky: Can we move all that work into the public?
          • It doesn't look like an OSS project with everting private until going public
          • Santhosh: It is public, but it is forked
            • On a different branch
            • Will be visible when there is a PR

  • KAran: Is there a doc on release planning?
    • Santhosh: Yes, in release-arch
  • Keep in arch?
  • Vicky: Keep everything in one spot as far as doc or move release planning to governance and link?

      • Just have a TSC vote. As the repos grow we can modify the process to include more complex decision making
    • Vicky: Maybe even just open an issue. Simpler and contains a firm paper trail.
      • Jason: Yeah, that sounds good.
    • LJ: Some kind of metric where number of commits is accounted for before being nominated as a committer.
      • Option based on meritocracy.
    • Vicky: Other contribs besides git history should be considered in the future
      • If you want to qualify to be a committer here is what it would require doc.
      • Career and committer progression doc.
        • This gets heavyweight and we have it doc'ed in an issue, but it is for the future.
      • Jason: agreed, the time isn't right now, but we need this in the future.
        • Shouldn't have strict criteria right now.
      • Vicky: Will write up issue and then we can iterate.
        • Can't unring bell once it has been rung so don't commit to process that locks us in
