Notes

Agenda Review 

Judith Fleenor resolved the approval of the Minutes Approval by consensus and formally approved the minutes from January 12th, 2022.

Judith Fleenor shared the new members and asked the committee members to welcome the new folks. Drummond Reed said that the blog posts and white papers are providing additional visibility in the community and helping to drive support and membership to the foundation. Bryn Robinson-Morgan inquired about the information on new members as to what's driving them and motivating them to join ToIP and Judith Fleenoragrees and suggested we discuss this in greater detail in our next Communication Committee meeting. Judith Fleenorintroduced the new LFX EasyCLA process that LF is working to implement to projects.

Overview of LFX with Jim St.ClairLF is introducing a platform-centric ecosystem. He shared numbers of the number of organizations that are involved and supported by LF. Jim St.Clair LFX Insights, LFX Security and LFX Crowdfunding. 

Jim St.Clair recently launched the LFX Security and OpenSSF for all projects and their lifecycle security management for the entire development pipeline. LFX as a platform will be integrated into other applications to help support information and project workflow.

Judith Fleenor provided an update on OIX/MOU by sharing some historical information on the OIX/MOU from it's initiation back in June 2021 and the approvals that happened in late 2021 with legal review. Judith Fleenorrequested that we include a clause in the agreement to provide engagement between both organizations and that was approved. The documentation was sent to them, but then returned to to ToIP with some edits. Drummond Reed stated that we've already had an impact and that they are moving in the right direction with quality governance tools. He believes that the relationship is stronger than it's been in the past, but he doesn't believe the legal back and forth is worth our time at this stage. Bryn Robinson-Morgan agrees with Drummond and believes this is supportive of SSI models.
