Action Items

Notes

The Tessia annual review was presented by Mr. Efremkin. Mr. Mertic asked what other items they are trying to move to the active stage.

Tessia

Mr. Tuly motioned to renew project for another year at the incubation stage, Mr. Dahlberg seconded the motion, all approved.

CBT Project

Sam Golob gives update and appreciation for LX Foundation OMP Support. CBT still supports the last free version of MVS. Contributions from 2 sources, (1) people working for large companies with large computers, and (2) retired mainframers that are using OMP resources to add to the CBT.

Mr. Tuly motioned to renew project for another year. Mr. Twitchell seconded the motion, all approved. Issue brought up that maybe TAC should consider grandfathering the CBT project into active status considering it is the oldest project (founded in 1987).

Linux Distributions Working Group

Proposed and approved. Supercede Debian Working Group.
