Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board minutes (March 7)

Minutes from the TAB conference call on March 7, 2019

= Public Summary =
Attendees: Chris, Greg, Jon, Tim, Ted, Steve, Dan, Laura, Kees
Apologies: Olof

== Executive Summary ==
* Minutes approval
Unanimous approval for last two meetings' notes.

* Code of conduct committee docs and action items
Olof continuing to make edits. Should be done within the next week or so. CoC committee member
selection continued to be discussed. Committee will be 5 members including Greg KH and Mishi
Choudhary. It is expected that the TAB will reach out to specific individuals to fill the remaining
3 slots with the goal of finding responsible people in the kernel community who do not overlap with
TAB.

* Picking up the electronic voting discussion
Sample electronic voting (condorcet) finished, and looks promising. However, switching tally method
AND casting method at the same time may not be the best idea. Research will continue to try to find
a non-ranked electronic voting system so we can reach the more important goal of allowing "absentee
voting" for TAB elections. Criteria for absentee voting is still under discussion.

* Scheduling elections for chair/vice chair
Vote will happen at April meeting. Possibly with new electronic voting system.

* Plumbers news
No major news. Progress continues, announcement is expected before the next TAB meeting.

* Maintenance project funding
With other project funding mechanisms aimed mostly at novel projects or entry-level contributors,
there needs to be a place to fund specific ongoing kernel projects that do not have another home.
Discussion with LF is expected to help resolve this.
