Attendees: Jim Einarsson, Tina Tsou, Tapio Tallgren, Andrew Wilkinson, Bill Zvonar

• Trouble Starting the Meeting
  • likely because Zoom bridge wasn’t completely closed at the end of the TSC Working Group meeting – note to selves for our meeting
• Review Feature Project Template (per last TSC)
  • Context
    • Wiki: https://wiki.akraino.org/display/AK/Akraino+Blueprint+Validation+Framework
    • the Process Sub-Committee was asked in the last TSC to review this feature project
    • Jim noted that Jenny had questioned in the last TSC meeting whether we (the Process Sub-Committee) should “approve” this project into Incubation – or rather, should we limit ourselves to saying whether the template is ok or not
    • Jim further noted that we had created some “Blueprint” criteria, but not for a “Feature Project” – so would it be the same?
  • Committers
    • Tapio asked if there should be Committers identified at this point – this led into a discussion about *when* in the project lifecycle the Committers need to be identified
• TCD Changes re: PTL/Committers & Project “Start”
  • would the project just die if there were no Committers? or would it just go On Hold?
  • can you enter Incubation *then* identify Committers?
  • you have to have at least 1 Committer *Company* identified
  • Committers to be named up until the PTL election
  • ACTION: two changes proposed to the TCD – bring to the TSC meeting
    • indicate when Committers are to be added to a Feature Project during PTL elections, after which the project ‘starts’ 
      • section 3.2.2.1
      • Initial Committers for a project will may be specified at project creation and up until PTL election.  The project is not started until after the PTL election.
      • indicate that a Project “starts” at the beginning of the Incubation state
        • section 3.3.4
        • in the “Incubation” row of the table in section 3.3.4
          • Project has resources, but is recognized to be in the early stages of development. The project is considered to have started upon successful PTL election.  The outcome is a minimum viable product (MVP) that demonstrates the value of the project and is a useful vehicle for collecting feedback, but is not expected to be used in production environments.
  • in terms of the content of the Feature Project Template, we questioned what is meant by ‘Akraino ready / validated’?
• didn’t get to these agenda items, will table them for next week’s meeting
  • Discuss/align on bronze/silver/gold
  • Kick off splash page /spreadsheet for “mature” graduation
  • Other topics
