Next will be Open Collective link in manual and project README. - Currently, the AFNix project representative of Lix is @raito, @raito would welcome someone else to decrease the CoI issues of being AFNix president as well. ### LixCon 2026 - @raito expects more core team talks for LixCon and will pester core team members in private. - @raito needs graphical design for LixCon, @hexchen seems sick and someone needs to take over. @kate offered to work on this. - DGNum proposed a meeting at M-1 for LixCon but Lix did not respond. @kate propose we set up a weekly (in 4 weeks) between DGNum and Lix for LixCon. @raito proposed a scheduling link to both sides. ### Future agenda - Examining our posture on perfectionism vs incremental changes. - Historical core team members section. ## Meeting notes / Discussion Agenda: - [Job channel](https://zulip.lix.systems/#narrow/channel/16-Governance/topic/Job.20channel.3F/with/7756) - pennae: We want to do it mostly for employees than employers. - pennae: We should maybe make it the other way around and let people post they're looking for jobs. - kate: it would prove difficult for companies to actually operate with this due to the whole bias. - kate: having employers post ads as long as they behave in our code of conduct. - let's shelve this topic as there might not be enough demands to justify the costs of doing it right, at least, after lixcon. - @piegames own the fact of starting a draft on sponsorship policy. - [Inactive core team members](https://zulip.lix.systems/#narrow/channel/5-Governance-.5Bprivate.5D/topic/Inactive.20core.20team.20members/with/8229) - Merge and - Qyriad: what about the proposal for alumni/emeritus section? - Kate: thinks this would be good to be able to list historical core team members to permit core team members to use this for hiring decisions. - pennae: wouldn't archive.org satisfy this objective too? - Kate: a hiring manager would not bother with that. - No objection to merge these two PRs. - @piegames will adjust the governance document to better match our current procedures - Retrospective release situation - QA is required for 2.95.1 & 2.94.1 - releng for 2.95.1 is owned by @raito if no one else will do it - Feature / merge freeze policy for releases owned by @raito but after LixCon - Testing commonly used 3rd party programs (`direnv` / `devenv`) with new Lix releases - Static builds should go into Hydra for the next releases, not sure we should put them back into CI - expensive - we do not need them very often - AFNix: convert releng to Hydra and automatic things - [Status update, Raito] LixCon talks from the core team - [Status update, Raito] Fundraising for Lix project [AFNix] - [Status update, Raito] Sponsorship of Mercury in LixCon - [Status update, Raito] AFNix project representative [AFNix] - https://docs.afnix.fr/policies/afnix-membership.html - [Status update, Raito] LixCon 2026 - We need graphic design for LixCon - DGNum team has proposed a meeting - Scheduling a weekly between DGNum and Lix for LixCon
