- Mark Waite submit jenkins.io pull request to combine subprojects
and SIGs into a single concept - “working groups”
- More pull requests needed
- Retire the Chinese Jenkins site - deadline for 4 weeks to close (Kevin
Martens)
- Chinese site link removed from www.jenkins.io header
- Kevin Martens (Docs Officer) tracking help desk ticket
<https://github.com/jenkins-infra/helpdesk/issues/3379> to replace
the Chinese pages with redirects to the English pages
- Need a redirect from https://www.jenkins.io/zh/ to
https://www.jenkins.io/ <https://www.jenkins.io/zh/>
- Kevin to work with the infrastructure team on the Helm charts
implementing the Chinese site
- Mark Waite draft a proposal to the board for license policy and
phrasing changes
- Allow other licenses like the JSON license
- Some other approach?
- What license should be used for a library plugin?
- License of the wrapped library (if wrapped library has no
separate code, then seems likely)
- MIT license as used by Jenkins plugins (if abstraction layer in
the plugin, then MIT for ours?)
- Review responses from other projects to license mixture (e.g. PyPI)
- Mostly focuses on OSI approved licenses but include a separate
category for other licenses
- Have categories for freeware, public domain, and more
- Reasonable precedent for allowing a wider range of licenses
- Needs more discussion, but being more permissive is working
for PyPI
- Newer licenses may be more controversial
