proposed OpenInfra bylaws update - normalize OpenStack project
by Allison Randal 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

Hi all, We've been working on an update to the OpenInfra Foundation bylaws that cleans up some of the old special-case text for the OpenStack project. In practice, we treat OpenStack the same as all the other OpenInfra projects, so this change is about refactoring the language to match reality, and also reducing unnecessary complexity. I've attached a diff, with some descriptions of why we're proposing the changes. Some of the changes simply generalize the language to talk about OpenInfra projects (or the Foundation) instead of OpenStack. Some of the changes move the specific details of OpenStack project governance out of the bylaws, and over to the OpenStack project governance documents. And, some of the changes move general project governance information over to the separate OpenInfra project guidelines document: https://board.openinfra.dev/en/ProjectConfirmationGuidelines We plan to hold a board vote on these changes in the next board meeting on December 5th. After the board vote, the OpenStack TC will vote on the bylaws changes to section 4.13 and the deleted appendix 4. And, in the January annual member meetings, the Individual, Gold, and Platinum members will vote on the few small wording changes in section 4.15, and one deleted sentence in section 9.2. Take a look, and let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks, Allison

OpenInfra Europe mailing list
by Wes Wilson 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

During the OpenInfra Summit in Vancouver this past June, we announced the creation of two new regional hubs: OpenInfra Europe[0] and OpenInfra Asia[1]. Both hubs were created with the purpose of advancing open source infrastructure in the region, facilitating the discussion of regional strategic issues, and coordinating local communities and events. The initial Advisory Board for OpenInfra Europe has convened, kicking off the activities of this regional hub. We expect the Advisory Board for OpenInfra Asia to convene before the end of the year. It’s imperative to have strong participation from the open infrastructure community, both in the regions where hubs exist and globally. To help facilitate this, we are creating public mailing lists to encourage open and transparent conversations, share updates to and from the hubs, and highlight potential priorities that the hubs should be focusing on. The first mailing list for OpenInfra Europe[2] has been created and I encourage you to join! We expect this list to be active, starting with discussions around what priorities OpenInfra Europe should focus on. We look forward to hearing your voices! Thanks, Wes [0]: https://openinfraeurope.org/ [1]: https://openinfraasia.org/ [2]: https://lists.openinfra.dev/mailman3/lists/openinfra-europe.lists.openinfra…
