Discussion Point	Notes	Actions: Responsible / Note
Policy Working Group Updates	Adam Dean updated on the challenges of coordinating the Policy Working Group due to Discord notification issues. The focus will be on establishing an election process, exploring voting mechanisms, and seeking new members to fill vacancies and ensure a partial committee rotation to avoid replacing the entire body simultaneously.	Schedule a meeting with Christian, Lloyd, Matthew Capps (IOG), and Terence to discuss the election process and explore options used by the Community Advisory Board.
Security Policy Review	Christian Taylor clarified that the Security Policy review does not require Governing Board attention currently. The OSC has been authorized to set up oversight and coordinate with the TSC. Recent repo permission changes allow projects to have private repositories. The team structure is being reorganized, and access issues should be reported to Christian or Terence.	-
Project Incubation	Alex Seregin discussed the Project Incubation group's work, merging outputs from the previous Project Lifecycle and Project Evaluation groups. The focus is on studying and choosing metric models for project evaluation, acknowledging the need for human judgment in interpretation. The current draft for project incubation/evaluation was presented for review and voting. The draft outlines criteria for three phases: Incubation (basic requirements), Growth (active use and contributor dynamics), and Mature (technical optimizations and ecosystem integration).	Add metrics to the draft after approval and define the remaining categories.
Maintainer Pilot	Adam Dean reported progress on the Maintainer Pilot, including repo restructuring, improved collaboration, and governance discussions. The pilot involves coordination between the Cardano Foundation, Intersect, and IOI staff. The goal is to release a version before the Hard Fork and expand the pilot to other projects. Silona suggested organizing a code-a-thon for cleanup tasks. The pilot's conclusion and assessment will inform the next steps, potentially involving larger core repositories and addressing backlog issues.	Write assessment reports in conjunction with the TSC, explore the possibility of a code-a-thon, and transition the pilot to larger core repositories.
OSO Updates	Terence McCutcheon shared updates on the Open Source Office (OSO). Discussions are ongoing with the TSC regarding the inclusion of Hydra build and Haskell.nix. The Open Source pilot will be evaluated based on past PRs and use cases. The Open Source YouTube channel, Open Source Cowboys podcast, and the Intersect YouTube channel are avenues for communication and outreach. The certification working group, led by Simon Thompson from IOG, was also mentioned. The possibility of this group aligning with the OSC will be explored.
Oracles Working Group	Micah Kendall inquired about the next steps for the Oracle's working group, seeking guidance on creating a 12-month plan and deliverables. Terence confirmed the group's status as a working group and assured them of support and resources. The Oracle's channel will be moved to the OSC working group forum. The discussion emphasized the importance of open standards and implementations in the oracle space, highlighting collaboration and the need for a neutral platform. The issue of competition among oracle providers was raised, suggesting the need for a collaborative approach under the OSC.	Create a 12-month plan and deliverables for the Oracle's working group, move the Oracle's channel to the OSC working group forum.
Open Source Tools	Terence McCutcheon highlighted the available tools for the Open Source Committee, including ClickUp for task management, a shared Google Drive for collaboration and document storage, and potentially a Miro board for additional thoughts and brainstorming.	Ensure everyone has access to the shared drive and Miro board.
Goal Realignment and Q1/Q2 Review	A tentative session is planned for July 19th to review and adjust the open source strategy and goals. Christian Taylor will conduct a review of Q1/Q2 OSO goals and gather feedback for the latter half of the year, assessing the need for any changes.	Review the open source strategy and adjust goals as needed, review Q1/Q2 OSO goals and gather feedback.
