• TSC seat abandonment
• Discussed on 20 Jul 2021 
  • Ahmed El Sawaf (STC) has only attended 2 TSC meetings since his election (on Feb 23 and April 20, 2021), and has not participated in any off-line vote. Attempts to contact him have failed.
  • The new charter text, 3.3.2.1. TSC Member Elections, says:
    • "If a TSC member is no longer able to perform the TSC duties, the TSC member may inform the TSC via an email to the TSC email list."
    • Subsequent items in quotes are from the charter.
  • What we have here is more a case of abandonment than resignation. The charter does not cover this case exactly.
  • Do one or more TSC members believe that this is a Major TSC Issue?
    • "Major TSC issues may only be resolved at a TSC meeting except that the voting shall be electronically." No on 20 Jul 2021 
  • 20 Jul 2021 Decision: Will allow additional time to try to reach Ahmed El Sawaf
  • Does the TSC agree that the criteria for "Replacement of a TSC member" has been satisfied, and "an election for the position is held within 30 days of notification to resign. The conditions of the election are the same as for any TSC election." ?  Have a work around.

  • TSC may need to archive some projects to help migration

• Gitlab changed procedures slightly: Contributors need a credit card on file to run the CI; open source is an exception to that. Trevor updated the setup to comply to the new change, so that open source contributors (us ) don't need a credit card on file.
• Lack of support for Easy-CLA is currently blocking moving projects to gitlab. Expectation is that by end of September gitlab will support Easy-CLA.
• Trevor will come back with info when LF-Insights will support gitlab.
• Trevor will follow up with a list of active projects and a list of inactive projects which have not be archived yet.
