Agenda

  • We will start by mentioning the project's Antitrust Policy, which you can find linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important where multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review and if you have any questions, please contact your company legal counsel. Members of the LF may contact Andrew Updegrove at the firm Gesmer Updegrove LLP, which provides legal counsel to the LF.

    • @Casey Cain will send an email to confirm

  • Vice-Chair election will begin immediately after the TAC call

    • A discussion ensued regarding if we should change one of the seats to an AI seat or add a third elected seat.

    • Casey & Olaf will initiate a discussion with the community for feedback.

Security update from @Amy Zwarico 

  • @Amy Zwarico demonstrated the updates to the Security Best Practices

    • There was a discussion about meeting the quality goals for the Projects.

    • Amy suggested that there would need to be a regular health review to ensure that projects are progressing and maintaining their security best practices

      • Casey reminded the TAC that our Lifecycle documentation states that the projects should be doing an annual Health Review.  It has not been consistent due to the additional business before the TAC.  

      • Amy suggested that this needs to be a higher priority for the Projects and TAC.

      • Communication to the Projects that they will need to provide an update on their progress to Security Best Practices score

      • Update process for health reviews

        • A discussion was held about kicking off a new repo to start tracking our Lifecycle process and security best practices

        • A request for proposal at the next TAC meeting was made
