Hi Rich,
I participate sporadically in the CentOS Storage SIG and I have some questions.
"They are also requested to hold regular (at least monthly) public meetings" - would you please write the name of the person who is requesting this?
Me, on behalf of the Board of Directors.
Would you please say what outcomes you expect for a monthly meeting?
Meetings should cover status - what's been happening, what's planned, and where people can participate. And it's an opportunity for users to complain about what's broken, and ask for help. It is one way to engage with the community, and forces a periodic retrospective and refocusing of the work. It also ensures that this isn't just a couple of engineers doing work inside their company.
Note that some projects choose to have these weekly, others monthly - whatever works for the particular SIG. The important thing is not the cadence so much as that there's a clearly defined point in time where you know you can get the attention of a SIG's leadership.
Note also that if your SIG prefers to have "meetings" via email, for the benefit of multi-timezone, multi-language participants, I certainly think that's fine too. We have evolved a process where IRC meetings are the norm, but they are certainly not the only way to do things.

Hi, folks,
In yesterday's board meeting, the board asked me to report on the status of all of our SIGs. I have put together this report - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e6Bw1x7ReDOuk4rrPz-Wl4EBaEicLG35rJb8P7_S...
- which covers all of the SIGs which are listed on
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup
If you are involved in any SIG, please review what I have written there, and make any comments/corrections that you feel are warranted, so that I am passing the most accurate information possible to the board.
Thanks!
