92

The way we value the program shoudn't be based on a single use case

We could still always do fiscal sponsorships without doing the additional work that we do for incubators

We should be advocating for and doing more to bridge the wider open source community

A short document about what OSI is doing, that could be sent to Affiliates

134

135

136

Deb of the North: Retool the format of our newsletter so that it's more friendly for non-native English speakers

1:50 - 2:30 More Budget (Tracy & Deb of the North) OSI_Budget 2021

339

340

We decided that we would send any feedback on budget to the Finance Committee by Dec 3

341

342

343

Increasing (active) membership from 600 to 800 seems doable, 1000 might be a bit of a stretch

344

345

346

State of the Source, we've put that in to do a second time with similar income

347

348

349

Seems like we want to hire the ED in the mid of the year

350

351

352

We spent some time looking into the details of our legal and professional fees

2:40 - 3:00 Standards & Licensing update Pam

Licensing

Pam has put together a small, diverse working group to look at licenses

361

362

Including some that haven't hit the list

363

364

We want to be more comprehensive and get as many licenses

365

366

This work will probably be done through a mailing list

Standards

Simon sent a document, but basically we want to be at the table to make sure that nobody rewrites the definition of open source becuase they are some well-funded people who are interested in controlling that conversation

372

373

374

The Judiciary Committee meeting ~-~- Pam wasn't happy with it, but maybe it wasn't harmful

375

376

Pam thinks that OSI should have more of a presence at these conversations in the future

377

378

379

We then discussed when performance review would happen, if not at the F2F

380

381

Staffing committee is working on a process and will be in touch soon
