Hi all, Last week I sent out an email calling for candidates to replace Edgar Magana who stepped down from the TSC recently.
Towards the end of last week it was brought to my attention that this was not necessary, and here is why: During the 1st OpenContrail summit (aka Reboot) we put together a TSC WG with volunteers who were present in the room. With this working group we started putting together the processes, charters, role and responsibilities. Some of the members of that TSC WG stopped being active after a while, and some other members of the community became more active, which is normal for a newly formed community. Right before the 2nd OpenContrail summit, we decided we should confirm who is still in the TSC the 5.0 release, and if there are volunteers willing to take the place of the TSC members who were not active anymore. At that point of time, we had exactly 5 people willing to participate in the OpenContrail TSC: Joseph Gasparakis - Intel Paul Carver - AT&T Valentine Sinitsyn - Yandex Masood Ul Amin - Aricent Edgar Magana - Workday Aniket Daptari from Juniper at that point of time had mentioned that someone from Juniper will also get volunteered, and Sukhdev Kapur started joining our TSC calls after a couple of weeks and he was actively contributing and connecting the TSC decisions with the Juniper Engineering teams and management, and everyone assumed Sukhdev was the volunteer that Aniket had mentioned without neglecting the fact that the number of TSC voting members now was 6, and not 5 as the charter describes. Since then TSC calls kept happening and all the (few) decisions were really unanimous so we never had to do a proper voting and that clouded everyone's memory as to who is a voting member of the TSC and who is not (don't get confused by the "few" decisions, a lot of work happened since then, the splitting decisions were very few... ;-)). Coming to last week and having Edgar stepping down probed me as chair to the TSC to announce the elections, but then, towards the end all the above started surfacing: it seemed like we were about to vote for a 6th member again. To cut the long story short between some communication between me and the candidates for this election and during the TSC call today it was decided (unanimously) that we do not need elections since we do have 5 members now, and Sukhdev is in fact a voting member of the OpenContrail TSC, so we do not need to proceed with elections at this point of time. In order to avoid the same mistake in the future, the names of the five voting TSC members are now published at the top of the Google doc of the TSC minutes (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FIO30YiqDPcXkrJ-oFKPPBoJddHRiFo04T5KRFooT0k/edit#heading=h.btv2h83fc4fi). We also updated the documents in Juniper/contrail-community-docs (https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-community-docs) : I encourage you to review and let me or any member of the TSC know if something is currently out of order. For the record the following are the five voting members currently of the OpenContrail TSC: * Joseph Gasparakis - Intel * Paul Carver - AT&T * Masood Amin - Aricent * Sukhdev Kapur - Juniper * Valentin Sinitsyn - Yandex Before I close this email I would like to thank everyone involved in this community and the TSC, and I wanted to let everyone know that for the next two Mondays (12/25 & 1/1) we won't have a TSC call. We will resume refreshed on Monday 1/8/2018. Let me know if you have any questions, otherwise enjoy this festive season and looking forward to working with you again in 2018! -- [intel-logo-small] Joseph Gasparakis Intel Corporation Networking Platforms Group Architecture Division Regards, Joseph -- Joseph Gasparakis NPG Architecture & Systems Engineering
