Suggest a candidate theme to the TC?
by Alan Clark 23 May '19

23 May '19

OpenStack Board Directors, At the Denver Leadership meeting[1], the TC included an update on the OpenStack-wide Goals or 'themes'. These themes are one or two goals that all the projects aim to complete during the release. Such goals aim to achieve visible common changes. I was happy to see the progress and At the meeting, the TC stated that it would be acceptable for the OpenStack Board to submit a suggested goal. This doesn't mean that the TC would automatically include it, but that it would then go through the TC process outlined on the TC goals page[2] for process and approval. Would it be productive for the OpenStack Board to discuss, agree upon and submit a candidate goal for some future release? I can think of two or three ideas that would perhaps be pertinent ideas to come from the board. I'm pinging you for your feedback and insight. Is there a 'theme goal' that the board should consider submitting? Do you think this would be a valuable board email discussion over the next couple months?

OpenStack Foundation & Export / EAR
by Mark Collier 23 May '19

23 May '19

The OpenStack Foundation has received inquiries regarding concerns with a member subject to an Entity List Ruling.[1] While statements in the Executive Order prompting the listing used language granting a broader scope of authority, the Huawei Entity List ruling was specifically scoped to activities and transactions subject to the Export Administration Regulation (EAR). Open source encryption software source code was reclassified by the US Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) effective September 20, 2016 as "publicly available" and no longer “subject to the EAR.”[2] Each open source project is still required to send a notice of the URL to BIS and NSA to satisfy the "publicly available" notice requirement in the EAR at 15 CFR § 742.15(b). The OpenStack Foundation (OSF) continues to work with our projects to ensure their notices are up to date and are maintained in the future.[3] Open source software, collaboration on open source code, attending telephonic or in person meetings, participating in training and providing membership or sponsorship funds are all activities which are not subject to the EAR and therefore should have no impact on our communities. If there is a unique situation of concern, we encourage you to reach out directly to mark(a)openstack.org or jonathan(a)openstack.org.

Special thanks to Mark Radcliffe and Thomas deButts from DLA Piper, who've been working with OSF, LF and others to pull the necessary information together for benefit of many open source communities.
