[yocto-ab] 20180611 Minutes: Yocto Project AB Meeting

[Ta, Lieu]

Attendees:  Lieu, Richard, Dan, Travis, Armin, Bill, Nithya, Kevin, Khem, Phillip, Nectar, Nicolas

Conversation on Charter
-       Question raised: AB has authority to make decision, but LF BoD has to approve before AB can execute?
o       LF does not need to approve any decisions made by the YP AB --> Lieu has confirmed with LF
-       Do we need to revise our Governance/Charter?
o       Majority agrees that we should revisit and modernize our Governance, as needed
o       Plan to do this later in the year

Appointing AB Chair
-       Current Nominations: Philip and Travis
-       We will proceed with the call for any other Nominations then voting will be done via email
-       Nomination until Wednesday (6/13), vote closes by Wednesday (6/20)

Fellowship funding
-       Terminology correction:  Not "Fellowship", but a "Technical Contractor"
-       Proposal:
o       $100K from budget set aside for the Technical Contractor - Richard.
o       Duration: 3 - 6 months (to be worked out with Richard)
o       This is a Stop-Gap only.  YP cannot afford to expense this yearly nor can we afford to go beyond the proposed duration
-       Yes votes:  TI, Wind, Monta Vista, Comcast, MG, OE, Linaro, Renesas, LTSI
-       Abstain: Intel
=>      A total of 9 Yes votes.  The Technical Contractor expenditure has been approved by the AB.

Membership contract
-       The goal is to get the new members to sign on without any changes to the existing contracts
-       We will revisit this later, if needed

Appoint Community Manager
-       We urgently need a Community Manager for the Project
-       If you can volunteer or suggest a community manager, please send your suggestion to Lieu asap.
