- Timeline
- Results announcement (December 11)
- 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 (Kevin Martens)
- Kevin has started his local Kubernetes development environment to
prototype the transition
- Mark still needs to start his local Kubernetes development
environment to prototype the transition
- Once prototyped, then Kevin and Mark meet with Damien Duportal to
review next steps
- 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
- Kevin working 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
- No further progress
- 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
- Mark Waite update the governance meeting GitHub repository with
the latest meeting notes
- No progress
