Discussion of workflows for payments, approvals, and acceptances. Need to get acceptance of proposed budget carveouts. Differentiation between approved proposals, future proposals, cash-outlay proposals. Consensus on allowing proposers of accepted proposals to start work without TAB approval or a PO AT THEIR OWN RISK.
Starter Kit - Approved by LFC adv board and LF. Combination here
Need to proceed wtih PO. It will be great to get this rolling ASAP to avoid end of year slowdown.
Som calls for a vote to move forward post haste
ask IT to cover the budget and issue the order
Motion: Som
Second: Jim
+1: Jordan, Lucas, Yogesh
OCP has offered to do a OCP-introduction hour to LFC/Magma - should we set this up on one of the TSC or other meeting
Budget approval update? I (Som) understand that the request for 2025 fund allocation was not reviewed by TAB last time due to time constraints. (Sandra Jackson (Deactivated) can you please confirm?) I spoke with TAB to get two meetings on Calendar per month for the next six months
One meeting to discuss roadmap and technical issues from TSC
One meeting for dicussing proposals and funding
Thoughts?
Security updates
Book a meeting to discuss post-quantum crypto with U Penn and U Florida
Project management to incorporate U Penn's new testing tool for AMF in CI
Blocked on 4G testing (Jordan VrtanoskiBruno Faria). Veltris will do sanity testing and call it a day. Jim and Lucas in support of shipping with whatever 4G testing Veltris can do.
Yogesh thinks all the important open PRs are in 1.9 already, except 15401. master is badly broken and will need either to be fixed or abandoned after 1.9 ships. He will work on 15401 in 1.9.
Todo: research quorum rules. Do we need more people to have quorum?
Next election, based on 12-month cycle: March
Todo: research provisions for out-of-cycle election in governance documents.
Micky - Question: Should we a matchmaking page (Connecting contractors to hiring managers) in Github Wiki or confluence? Keep in mind, it will contain people contact email and where would be a safe place to avoid anyone getting spam.
Discussion: is the page public? Spam is a concern.
Discussion: is this in-scope for the TSC?
Not brokering connections, but making community members visible (Jim)
Slack is not necessarily available to new hiring managers or devs. This is an argument to have a web-based connection point.
Distinguish between TSC making connections directly vs just enabling parties to connect on their own.
Consider a page on LinkedIn rather than something hosted by Magma. Todo: research LinkedIn, Slack, wiki specifics.
Todo: post on #general to ask for ideas and feedback.
Sandra working on getting LF participation in a TSC meeting
About funding OFC costs: "Unfortunately, this does not fall under the regular LF outreach process and the approval was turned down." Who did we talk to? What did they say?
The reply sent to Sandra from Arpit didn’t have an explanation of the reason.
Maintenance on Calendar entries
Sandra to change link in invitation
Maintenance on Slack, e.g. to fix auto-posted links
Jim sent materials to Jill Lovato. She is doing a draft. Will probably have to provide support on e.g. history of Magma. Blocker is when we are calling 1.9 done. Deadline for announcement is when it is actually done and released. The day it is promoted to release branch. Todo: Jim will send Jill a note about the timing.
Domain proxy is fixed in 1.9 branch
Integration testing is green in CI. We are now about to merge PRs.
Lucas to review security-related PRs that haven’t made it into 1.9

Idea: meet w/ LF to define criteria for what will be funded. Define risk factors. TSC to ask LF PM to book the meeting with LF (Stephanie Wigel).
Meeting with TAB.
Calendar entry needs update. Wrong link. Other calendar entries need updating.
Som is updating the proposal with Jordan’s feedback on factoring feature set. It will be shared with TSC this week

Blocked on PR being merged, which was blocked on general CI breakage. Veltris is working on e.g. linter, Bazel. Domain Proxy fix (“Domain proxy integration tests with orc8r”) is not in the works.
Consider whether to keep supporting domain proxy, if it is truly broken. Somebody needs to reclaim the component. Veltris will do the first level of analysis.
Outreach Report
Request for advisory board meeting - Som is trying to get a time slot with Shah and Shaddi on one of the standing slots - either TSC slot or Outreach slot
Shah has proposed 8:30AM pacific this Thursday (Oct 10, 2024) for the meeting. I’m checking with Shaddi
OCP Global Summit this month in San Jose - Jordan Vrtanoski is on a panel and Shah Rahman is speaking.
Som: “I have discussed a proposal to confine the radios to US only and acquire half of them now and half (5) down the road when we get more visibility on international request. I promised him a spreadsheet to calculate the final proposal - but I am backed up at work and have not been able to finish it yet. My optimistic ETA is this wednesday”
Lucas: the issue of being a non-profit project will need to be addressed

Per Som about Slack thread, the LF doesn’t appear to be receiving any bills.
Jim points out that access to money is a blocker for simply avoiding LF
Som will ask Shah and Shaddi to come to next TSC. Lucas to start thread.
Need a scale test for 4G. Veltris doesn’t have the infrastructure. Need to exceed 600 MB AGW traffic among all subscribers. A commercial tool is required.
Next milestone: TSC vote to upgrade 1.9_test branch to 1.9 release branch.
Somebody needs to check the vanilla Debian package. Yogesh thinks one of the third party packages is missing. Veltris DevOps is working on that package.
Jim B requested an MR to be added to the branch. Parser change. Issues raised in previous TSC have been addressed. See Merge Number: https://github.com/magma/magma/pull/15513
Som is not available but has written up the notes from the LFC meeting and sent to @Sandra Jackson for review and sharing at Monday's meeting (9/16/2024). However Sandra is not here to share them.
