Committee Structure & Roles | Detailed committee roles and responsibilities, including meeting attendance and working group leadership. Discussed potential co-chair rotation every six months. | Update committee roles to reflect Adam’s suggestion to clarify voting seats as “seats” and not “chairs.” |

Community Feedback | Need to revisit community feedback in the future to ensure alignment. Past feedback survey summarized and available in open source documents. | Schedule for another feedback cycle and update survey by mid-2025.
|
Maturity Survey | Reviewed results from the 2024 open source maturity survey and objectives for 2025, noting a passing but low maturity score of 59.5. | Expand participation in the next maturity survey to gain a larger sample size. |

Legal Considerations | Discussed implications of geopolitical conflicts on participation eligibility, especially in light of recent Linux Foundation actions regarding Russian maintainers. | Coordinate with legal for clarity on maintainers’ eligibility requirements.
|
Meeting Cadence | Proposed bi-weekly meetings with flexibility for additional meetings as needed. | Set an ad-hoc meeting for next week, then revert to bi-weekly cadence. |
Communication Channels | Outlined committee’s use of Slack and Discord for meeting notifications and member engagement. | Ensure all members are notified of meetings in both Slack and Discord.
