[OpenStack Foundation] It's been a pleasure
by Joshua McKenty 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Ladies and Gents, It has been an extraordinary pleasure working with all of you over the past 4+ years. As some of you may have seen, I’m moving “up the stack”, and have accepted a position at Pivotal as Field CTO for Cloud Foundry. Christopher MacGown will be stepping into the Piston Director seat. I look forward to continuing to work with all of you, now from the “User” side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4ZmHyqTU_0 -- Joshua McKenty Chief Technology Officer Piston Cloud Computing, Inc. +1 (650) 242-5683 +1 (650) 283-6846 http://www.pistoncloud.com "Oh, Westley, we'll never survive!" "Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has."

[OpenStack Foundation] Platinum Membership Opening
by Jonathan Bryce 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi everyone, When the Foundation was launched, we randomly selected four of the eight Platinum Members to be categorized as Class A Platinum Members and the other four to be in Class B. Normally the Platinum Member term is three years, but for the initial term, Class A members have a slightly shorter term that ends December 31, 2014 per the Platinum Member Agreement (http://www.openstack.org/legal/platinum-member-policy/). Nebula was a Class A Platinum Member who has decided not to renew their membership beyond this year, although they may apply for Gold Membership starting in 2015. This will result in an opening for Platinum Membership beginning January 1, 2015. The link referenced above covers the process for New Platinum Members to be elected in broad terms in Section 4. I’d like to have a discussion at the Board meeting on Thursday to determine how to handle new Platinum Member applications and will provide more detail after the meeting. One possible option is to expand the Gold Member Committee to cover Platinum Member openings as well. In reviewing the criteria, it doesn’t look like there is a lot that is extremely specific to the Gold Member class. Thanks, Jonathan

[OpenStack Foundation] Summit session video license
by Sayali Lunkad 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Hi, The OpenStack training-guides team is planning to use the videos recorded at the OpenStack summits for the content in the Audio-Video subteam project. But the summit videos uploaded are under the 'Standard Youtube License' and hence cannot be re-used. Youtube provides for a different type of license called 'Creative Commons' which allows anyone to edit and re-use the videos. If we have the summit videos put under this license it would be very useful and the recorded content can be used in many different ways. We wanted to know if the foundation can help us to bring about this change in the existing videos and the future video recording. Thanks, Sayali.

[OpenStack Foundation] September 18, 2014 Board Meeting Summary
by Jonathan Bryce 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

Hello everyone, The OpenStack Foundation Board of Directors held a telephone meeting this past Thursday. The agenda was posted on the wiki: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Governance/Foundation/18Sept2014BoardMeeting To begin, the Board approved the minutes of the previous meeting. Those minutes will be posted on the wiki soon. The Board welcomed Mark McClain, who is now the appointed Gold Director for Yahoo! following Sean Roberts' departure. Sean has been a very involved Board member since the formation of the Foundation and chaired the Finance Committee for the last two years, and I want to thank him for his help all along the way. While he has given up his Board seat for now, he still continues to be active in the community. Rob Hirschfeld asked that we touch on the topic of mid-cycle meet ups and requested that the Foundation staff work with the PTLs and contributors to see if there are any actions we should take to help coordinate and make participation in these events easier. If any of you have feedback on this point, we’d love to hear it (on the list or directly to me if you’d prefer). Next, we moved on to several committee reports. I discussed the opening for Platinum membership, and the Board voted to expand the scope of the Gold Membership Committee to cover new Platinum Member applicants as well. This committee, which is chaired by Simon Anderson, will begin working with interested organizations to present their applications for Platinum membership at the upcoming Board meeting. If your organization is interested in Platinum membership, please contact me directly. The newly scoped Gold and Platinum Member Committee also added several new members, including Alex Freedland, Todd Moore, John Zannos, Chris Kemp and Tristan Goode. The Board also voted to approve Alex Freedland as Chairperson of the Finance Committee. Several new members were added to the Finance Committee as well, including Mark McLoughlin, Mark McClain and John Zannos. After this, there followed a lengthy update and discussion covering the DefCore process. The Board requested that the DefCore Committee work with the Foundation Staff and trademark counsel to come back with some additional concrete examples and proposals of commercial trademark license use based on the existing work of the DefCore committee as well as feedback from various community discussions that indicated multiple usage marks (e.g. compute or storage specific) may be desired sooner than previously anticipated. This discussion consumed the remainder of the time scheduled for the call, and the Board was unable to cover the Bylaws discussion or executive session topics. The next scheduled Board meeting is November 2, prior to the Paris Summit, however, in order to make progress on DefCore and the other topics that were not discussed, Alan will try to schedule an additional Board meeting in October. If that meeting is scheduled, we’ll make sure to announce the date and send the details out to the Foundation list. Thanks to all of you who were able to join, Jonathan 210-317-2438

[OpenStack Foundation] Supporting materials from board meetings
by Mark McLoughlin 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

Hi Alan (For the background of people not on the board - in advance of each meeting, Alan does an excellent job of getting board members to send their supporting materials like papers and slide decks so that board members can be fully prepared for the meeting.) Our transparency policy doesn't address the topic of this sort of material: http://www.openstack.org/legal/transparency-policy/ But I think the spirit of it would suggest that the materials should be published after the meeting - perhaps you could publish them, or perhaps Jonathan could include them in his summary? The material is hugely useful to board members, but I think also hugely useful to the wider membership. And since the material is discussed and referenced in the open board meetings, it's already public information. Thanks, Mark.

[OpenStack Foundation] Individual Member notice email
by Jonathan Bryce 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

I wanted to let everyone know that the following notice has gone out to about 3000 Individual Members who have not voted in either of the Board elections in the last 24 months. Members must vote in at least half of the elections during the preceding 24 month period, which in this case means they needed to vote in either the January 2013 election, the January 2014 election, or both to maintain membership. (See: http://www.openstack.org/legal/individual-member-policy/ ) As you’ll see, these Foundation Members have 30 days to request to remain a Foundation Member, which we are granting. Notice email: -------- > Dear Foundation Member, > > According to our records, you haven't voted in at least half of the Foundation elections in the past 2 years. Per the bylaws, your membership will be suspended effective 30 days from now, on October 10. This email serves as notice. > > If you wish to remain a Member of the OpenStack Foundation you have until October 10 to make that request to the Secretary by visiting this page: [[LINK]]. > > If you take no action, we will automatically change your account status from "Foundation Member" to "Community Member". As a "Community Member" you can continue to engage in many activities on OpenStack.org including submitting talks for Summits. However, you will not have all of the rights and responsibilities of being a full Foundation Member, including voting in future Board of Directors elections. > > If you wish to remain a Foundation Member, you have until October 10 to request that the Secretary reinstate your account. You also have the option to delete your account entirely. Either option may be selected on this page prior to the deadline: [[LINK]] > > Jonathan Bryce > Executive Director and Secretary, OpenStack Foundation > secretary(a)openstack.org

[OpenStack Foundation] agenda topic request for next board meeting
by Rob_Hirschfeld＠Dell.com 04 Sep '14

Alan, Could we talk about the mid-cycle meetups at the next board meeting? I'm getting feedback about meeting sprawl and it's worth discussing if we should be asking the Foundation to formalize and coordinate the mid-cycle design meetings.
