Hi all,

Here are the notes from today's CLT call:

Ceph Steering Committee and Executive Council

Ceph Project Governance is https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/governance/

Executive Council is elected by the Steering Committee. Existing CLT members were grandfathered into the SC.

Election was held in Oct/Nov 2021. Neha, Josh, Dan were elected at that time and served since then.

Ceph Foundation Board asks, what's the status? When and how to organize the next election?

Is CLT and SC membership up to date?

Private repo. Action on Josh to help Zac with this.

[Patrick] Ceph Licensing Review

https://github.com/ceph/ceph: Github shows "Unknown and 3 other licenses found", Patrick reviewed our licences.

https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/main/COPYING

Everything is LGPL-2.1 or LGPL-3, with listed exceptions.

Boost, Apache, MIT, BSD are fine.

GPL2 in src/os/btrfs_ioctl.h, src/arch/*s390x*, src/common/*s390x*

Affero GPL3 in src/script/backport-* and bin/git-archive-all.sh

not distributed, no action needed.

CC0 in src/include/expected.hpp

Next steps:

Make it explicit that we use s390x files in the terms of Apache licence.

Remove the btrfs header file. If it breaks support, remove it entirely.

Patrick will create tracker tickets.

Best regards, Dan
