Welcome @thisisnotapril, @pmorie, @lance!

[thisisnotapril]

@amye we'd like to discuss our options re: DCO and CNCF CLA. Is there a lawyercat that could talk to Steering about these options?

[amye]

@amye we'd like to discuss our options re: DCO and CNCF CLA. Is there a lawyercat that could talk to Steering about these options?

Maybe - what's the issue initially? We're happy for projects to use either, #easycla is the channel in CNCF slack that has that team to help migrate to the CLA tool provided by Linux Foundation.

[thisisnotapril]

We want to understand the implications of using DCO and if LF/CNCF has a preference? I know a lot of folks would like DCO but I don't know how that might impact our current processes.

[caniszczyk]

We don't really have a preference, you can use one or the other.

I will say 95% of CNCF projects just use DCO as there is no "legal paperwork" that has to be signed (which can be a blocker for organizations). The downside of DCO is that you have to sign off each commit (git commit -s) and some folks get a bit annoyed by that and you have to be clear in your CONTRIBUTING.md file that CONTRIBUTORS need to do this too.

Overall, I personally favor DCO over CLAs as it's simply a lower barrier to contribution imho

[csantanapr]

@amye In which git repo do we update to add knative to this webpage? https://www.cncf.io/projects/ Is that the same as Submitted a Pull request to add your project as a sandbox project to https://landscape.cncf.io/ ?

[amye]

Correct, Landscape populates the project page

[lukaszgryglicki]

DevStats test and prod pages added, will add this project to All CNCF as well - ETA for this is tomorrow. Also created affiliations research task - will import this once completed.

[vaikas]

@amye how can we check off things that have been completed? We don't seem to have the magic powers to do so.

Comments in here when they're done work fine!

[lukaszgryglicki]

Knative added to "All CNCF" DevStats instances on both test & prod.

[csantanapr]

You can mark this one done

Submitted a Pull request to add your project as a sandbox project to https://landscape.cncf.io/

Knative now shows up incubating https://landscape.cncf.io/card-mode?project=incubating

[csantanapr]

@lukaszgryglicki about devstats which repo is this configured? Does it cover our 2 github orgs? Knative and knative-sandbox? The logo is not showing as Knative logo

[lukaszgryglicki]

knative and knative-sandbox GitHub orgs. For log to show, you need to add logos to cncf/artwork repos - as all other CNCF projects. do.

[csantanapr]

Thank you @lukaszgryglicki for the quick response, I was not aware of the logo requirement. We have Knative logo files and we add them there.

[lukaszgryglicki]

Follow any other project for that, DevStats needs those https://github.com/cncf/artwork/tree/master/projects/kuma/icon/color - replace kuma with knative:

• https://github.com/cncf/artwork/blob/master/projects/kuma/icon/color/kuma-icon-color.png

[csantanapr]

@amye @caniszczyk

We have a question for the following item

CNCF Welcome Email Sent to confirm maintainer list access, welcome email has monthly project sync details

Steering and TOC members got the invite to the maintainer list access, but we didn't see any information pertaining monthly project sync details

Can you elaborate on what we need to do for this monthly project sync? Is this a monthly meeting to report the status of the Knative project to some CNCF entity or program management?

[csantanapr]

[csantanapr]

@amye @jeefy @idvoretskyi

• [ ] Events: update CFP + Registration + CFP Area forms

Could you provide more concrete guidance on what we need to do for this work item? We are having a co-lo event in KubeCon EU 2022 "KnativeCon" is this related to this, or is related to some other aspect?

[jeefy]

• [ ] Events: update CFP + Registration + CFP Area forms

This has to do with KubeCon Reg forms. When registering and/or submitting a CFP, we ask the submitter what they're looking to attend or which project their submission is focusing on.

AFAIK this is a CNCF work item and not a Knative one. :) Also, other work items have been marked done.
