Conclusion / Action items

Job channel

Lix will postpone exploring a job channel idea until past LixCon and will mesh this problem with a sponsorship policy.

Inactive core team members

https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix-website/pulls/69 is approved and merged along https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix-website/pulls/70.

  • Lily Foster
  • 9999years (Rebecca Turner)

are disboarded from the core team role in the Lix project. Thanks for all their help and support towards the Lix project.

@piegames will adjust the governance document to better match our current procedures.

The Lix core team will examine in a future meeting whether to maintain a "historical core team member" section.

Retrospective release situation

Split into two topics:

  • the current 2.95 crisis, @raito @kate @horrors are addressing it.
  • how to avoid repeating this mistake? post-poned to future meetings as we would like to have Jade part of this.

Status updates from @raito

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

    notes
  • Job channel
    • 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 sufficientconduct.
      • quality
