Last, she reminded the board to register for the Summit if they have not yet, sharing that board members receive complimentary tickets.
Mr. Carrez concluded the staff update by promoting the “Meet the global leaders powering the future of Open Source Infrastructure” campaign underway on OpenInfra blog and social channels, prompting board members to participate if they have not already done so. He also shared project updates for OpenStack and Kata Containers, including that OpenStack 2026.1 TC elections are underway. He then provided information about upcoming events where OpenInfra staff will be present.
Ms. Kreger kicked off a discussion around what topics should be considered during the informal Governing Board meeting set to take place during the OpenInfra Summit Europe on October 17. Board and staff provided ideas including harnessing synergies with the LF, furthering open source adoption in Europe's sovereign stacks, updating on the impacts of the CRA, framing 2026 OpenInfra annual goals, and planning the future of OpenInfra events.
There being no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 8:44 AM PT.
