[OpenStack Foundation] Becoming an Open Source Initiative affiliate org
by Thierry Carrez 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

Hi everyone, Over the past year, the definition of "open source" has been under attack, as some enterprises wanted to change the licensing of their software while continuing to reap the benefits of calling it open source, or at least being confused with open source. That makes the work of the Open Source Initiative (OSI) more important than ever. They have been the steadfast guardians of that definition for over 20 years, approving software licenses that were following the definition, while informing people and discouraging license proliferation. This is very much in line with the OpenStack Foundation objectives, so I'd like to propose that the OpenStack Foundation becomes an affiliate organization of the OSI. Other open source foundations, like the Mozilla Foundation, Eclipse Foundation, Linux Foundation, Python Software Foundation or Perl Foundation are already affiliates. You can learn more about the process at: https://opensource.org/affiliates/about Does anyone have concerns with that, before we proceed ? On a personal note... I think that today, open source is necessary, but not sufficient: we also need to define standards on how open source software is built, not just how the resulting software is licensed. However that work cannot happen unless we base it on a strong open source definition, and participating as an OSI affiliate would give us opportunities to have those new standardization discussion at that level. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

[OpenStack Foundation] Provide Feedback on OSF Pilot Project Confirmation Guidelines
by Claire Massey 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Hi everyone, Quick update and call to action on the process for confirming pilot projects as top-level open infrastructure projects at the Foundation. As you know, a pilot project will be eligible to be reviewed by the Board within 18 months of it receiving support from the Foundation, in order to decide on long-term investment of OSF resources to support it. As such, a subgroup of the Board has been working to draft guidelines to use when reviewing a project that requests to be confirmed. A bit of background - in August 2018 Jonathan emailed the Foundation ML with an update on OSF open infrastructure projects.[1] This topic was also previously discussed at a very high-level at previous Board meetings, including the September 18 meeting[2] (starting around slide 38). In mid-December a sub group of the Board formed and began holding regular meetings to workshop through drafting the guidelines. The guidelines have since been circulated for feedback with the leadership bodies from OSF pilot projects Airship, Kata Containers, StarlingX and Zuul as well as the OpenStack TC and OpenStack UC. All of the feedback from each of these community groups has been incorporated into the current draft. *We now invite you, the broader community, to participate in this effort* by reviewing the current working draft in this etherpad and adding in your feedback and comments no later than *February 20*: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/FoundationListFeedback-ConfirmationGuideli…. The Board subgroup will meet again in late February to review your feedback and incorporate it into the final set of guidelines that will be presented for review and approval in the OSF Board Meeting on March 5. Following the approval of the guidelines, Kata Containers and Zuul will be the first pilot projects that are eligible for review and confirmation as top-level open infrastructure projects. Thanks, Claire [1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2018-August/002617.html [2] https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10UyCpxkjPqC3kT-dYRpBxzNT39i2OhlggJv…
