Meetings

TAC meetings are intended to be the focal point for the technical community of Open Mainframe Project and its hosted projects and working groups. TAC meetings are open to anyone to attend, unless in the exceptional case that there is a sensitive topic to discuss, which requires a closed session. A schedule of public TAC meetings can be found and the links to join can be found here.

Propose agenda items by creating a new issue under ‘TAC Meeting agenda item’ for an upcoming TAC meeting.

Generally, topics for a TAC meeting include:

  • Short, general updates of interest to the TAC (expected to be 5 minutes or less ).
  • A Project or Working Group proposal (allotted 20-25 minutes).
  • Annual review of a Project or Working Group, or consideration for a project to move to a different stage (allotted 20-25 minutes).
  • An invited presentation on a topic of interest to the TAC or the Open Mainframe Project technical community. This might be tooling and infrastructure updates, presentations from related organizations/projects, or other program updates (allotted 20-25 minutes).
  • Strategic discussions regarding the Open Mainframe Project techincal community (allotted 20-25 minutes).

Please submit your proposed agenda item at least 1 week prior to the meeting. For Project or Working Group proposals or reviews additionally requires the presentation at least 3 days before the TAC meeting.

Please be patient. TAC meeting agendas are often quite full, and the length of the meeting only allows the time a set number of larger topics per meeting, so if your topic is more than a short topic it may not scheduled for the next meeting.

If we cannot accommodate your request in the upcoming meeting we may:

  • Wait until the following meeting to discuss the topic
  • Call a special meeting to discuss your topic, or
  • Refer the topic to the appropriate committee or task force of the TAC
