TSC chair vote

  • Completed: Old and new TSC chair is Philipp Ahmann

Allow Apache 2.0 for some Aerospace WG work

  • OGMA - https://github.com/nasa/ogma (Apache-2.0)
    • Takes configuration input and generates C code (Assuming output is Apache-2.0)
    • AeroWG only checks in some templates that come from OGMA that would be Apache-2.0 into ELISA repo
  • Sample apps from NASA cFS - https://github.com/nasa/sample_app/tree/46279d0eeadf7cfa605888acc4db6c64193e4e88 - (Apache-2.0)
    • AeroWG builts on this code and checks into ELISA repo
  • Using those inputs, Aero WG pulls the combination of OGMA output, cFS examples and additional content into a demo under an ELISA repo.
  • Apache gives a patent grant. When you commit your patents are granted. Very transparent to know where you are, when it comes to IP claims.
  • The reuse workflow may be a good solution to collect the licenses and copyrights.
  • From the charter:
    • “The TSC may approve the use of an alternative license or licenses for inbound or outbound contributions on an exception basis. To request an exception:
      • please describe the contribution,
      • the alternative open source license(s),
      • and the justification for using an alternative open source license for the Project.
    • License exceptions must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the entire TSC.”
  • Add this into a CONTRIBUTING.md file to make aware the license demands from the project charter.
  • https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/blog/copyright-notices-in-open-source-software-projects
  • Motion to approve Apache 2.0 for use in ELISA projects
    • Kate raised the motion
    • Philipp seconded the motion
    • 9 out of 9 attending TSC members agreed. (=9/11 total TSC voting members)
    • Motion carries.

Virtual Working Group Updates

Survey/Research about Quality of Open Source

  • Kate is currently checking with LF Research on possibilities and if there is overall benefit seen in such a survey.
  • Continue the discussion also in person during OSS EU in Amsterdam (potentially with the LF Research people like Hillary) and also during TSC meeting.
  • Follow up as Action Item and not as concrete agenda item.
  • Check with Hillary to come to a TSC meeting and explain, what they need as input to conduct a survey.
  • Would be good if Lighthouse and OSEP participants also join the TSC meeting when the meeting with Hillary is confirmed.
