I will post this to the monthly page tomorrow if no objections are expressed. Mentors, can one of you please complete the signed off line at the bottom? I also added instructions to the following page: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Board+Reports Thanks, Andy Alan D. Cabrera wrote: Anyone want to take a crack at this?

Re: Board report reminder emails
Looks pretty good. I'll sign off. Not sure if that is needed. I see that there's a number of outstanding items waiting on the mentors. I'll follow up w/ clean emails on them.

Re: Wiki contributions from individuals who have not signed the CLA
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Alan, - From what I can tell, anyone can go to the confluence site, create an account, and start adding/modifying content. This makes sense, because it is desirable for people to be able to easily join the community and help with documentation. However, from what I understand about ASF policy, any documentation that is distributed with a release artifact can only be contributed by people who have signed a CLA. So, what we've been asking for is to have a separate space that is limited such that only people who have signed a CLA have access to contribute content. Then, that content would be exported and bundled with releases as official documentation. For more information see the section titled Can we use the autoexport site as part of our main web site? at http://cwiki.apache.org/CWIKI/ Josh On Tuesday November 10, 2009, Alan D.

Confluence committers group that contains the Apache VCL community members with a CLA
A request has been made to the mentors to create a Confluence committers group that contains the Apache VCL community members with a CLA on file. Many committers on VCL have admin privs for this space. What problem are we trying to solve? Regards, Alan
Re: Wiki contributions from individuals who have not signed the CLA
Ok, I get it. Let me create VCLPUB.

Jira perms
I see that a number of people have admin permissions for the VCL project. These include: Users in Project Role Aaron Peeler Andy Kurth Brian Bouterse Josh Thompson What problems are we encountering. BTW, previously a few of us had full Jira admin privs. These have been now reserved for infra people. However we have the admin role for the above people. I think that this should be sufficient. Will this work? Regards, Alan
Re: Jira perms
Ahh, yeah. That's the uber admin link that is now reserved for infra people. To get to the VCL admin there should be an Administer Project link on page https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL.

Even though you're seeing that we have the administrative role, we can't do administrative things without being able to get to that part of the JIRA site. To be clear, previously, the top bar of the site had HOME, BROWSE PROJECT, FIND ISSUES, CREATE NEW ISSUE, and ADMINISTRATION. But now, we're only seeing HOME, BROWSE PROJECT, FIND ISSUES, and CREATE NEW ISSUE. Josh On Tuesday November 10, 2009, Alan D.
