We had a *very* productive Board of Directors meeting yesterday. We'll be publishing the meeting minutes soon, but I wanted to summarize a couple of important items from yesterday's Board of Directors meeting. * The proposed Automotive SIG was approved: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Automotive * We'll start planning for the third virtual Dojo of 2021 in the coming weeks. If you're interested in being part of that effort, please let me know, and subscribe to the centos-promo mailing lst. * Pursuant to the "Documenting the CentOS Linux 8 EOL process" thread on this list over the past week, the board came to agreement on several details around the CentOS 8 EOL in December, and we'll be drafting those in more detail over the coming days. * Pursuant to our commitment, in January, to continue being more transparent around the Board of Directors process, we'll be announcing a general public invite to future Board meetings. Details will be drafted over the coming days. * Over the past few months, I've been working on some updates to our governance docs, both to reflect the desire for greater transparency, as well as to promote a division between governance and technical direction. Over the next few weeks I'll be bringing drafts of those documents to this list for public commentary before we adopt them as our new guiding principles. So ... that's a *lot*, and some of it is going to take a while for us to get done. So, please do remind me if you don't see any progress on any of these items over the coming months. Many thanks to the Board of Directors for their hard work yesterday, and the work yet to come on the above items. --Rich, for Board of Directors
