Also present for some or all of the meeting were Jonathan Bryce, Mark Collier, Thierry Carrez, Allison Price and Wes Wilson of the Foundation. Ms. Kreger called the meeting to order and asked Mr. Stevenson to act as Secretary of the meeting and record the minutes.
Ms. Kreger presented the minutes from the March 11, 2025 Board meeting.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the following resolution was unanimously approved by the Board:
RESOLVED, that minutes of the Board meeting on March 11, 2025 attached as Exhibit A is approved.
Mr. Carrez provided an update on the release of OpenStack 2025.1 on April 2nd and the Virtual Project Teams Gathering that is happening this week.
Mr. Bryce provided an update on the progress being made on the planned combination with the Linux Foundation. The plan has received positive press coverage and the member consent process began on Sunday, April 6.
Ms. Price provided an update on upcoming events: OpenInfra Summit EU will be held on October 17-19th at Paris-Saclay University; Open Infra APAC Roadshow is currently targeting June-August and will be held across six countries.
Mr. Willson announced that the Foundation is one of the first organizations to have endorsed the UN Open Source Principles.
The Board reviewed feedback from SCaLE that certain communication tools like Slack are blocked and discussed whether to open additional communication channels for engagement. The Board would likely not mandate a non-open tool, but would permit projects to use them – perhaps as a “bridge” to an open source tool like Matrix.
The Board discussed possible updates to the AI Policy to remove the obligation to include “generated by” notices for AI generated code. Mr. Glynn volunteered to research the methods other organizations are using to address this situation.
There being no further business before the Board and upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was then adjourned at 9:00 am PDT.
Respectfully submitted,
Chris Stevenson
Secretary of the Meeting
