### Governance Topics

* [Jenkins Election 2025](https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2025/08/08/board-officer-election-announcement/) status report - Alex Earl
* Voting is in progress, 29 people have voted so far.
* Jenkins Contributor Summit 2026 - Mark Waite
* 30 Jan 2026
* Table requested at FOSDEM
* Alyssa Tong has confirmed the venue with Beta Cowork - $250 fee to reserve the room
* Expense approved by the Board
* Mark Waite proposes we use a similar process as last year to prioritize attendees and their reimbursements
* [Spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F1z4iirZVSCagE0d6JZ5wbZ8Iz0uSHBmkjjExlsg6OI/edit?usp=sharing) with proposed attendees
* Board members prioritize the attendees
* Reimbursements from the Jenkins CrowdFunding site
* Board approves this process
* Funding travel (~12000$ for 15 people)
* JFrog artifact reduction project ([infra issue 4533](https://github.com/jenkins-infra/helpdesk/issues/4533)) - Mark Waite
* OpenSSF [Joint Statement on Sustainable Stewardship](https://openssf.org/blog/2025/09/23/open-infrastructure-is-not-free-a-joint-statement-on-sustainable-stewardship/)
* Continuous Delivery Foundation is a signatory of the joint statement
* Darin Pope keeps our storage less then 2 TB
* Bandwidth reductions are still needed
* Some progress with high volume consumers
* AWS abuse report is progressing slowly on the top 3 consumers
* Jenkins project use has further reduced bandwidth use
* Still areas to improve (weekly generation of extensions list)
* JFrog sponsorship allows not more than 10 TB monthly bandwidth, we are now at 15-20 TB monthly
* Bandwidth results
* September: 19 TB
* October: 17 TB
* November: 16 TB (forecast)
* JFrog billing logs analyzed daily by Darin Pope scripts
* Mark Waite reviews logs occasionally, seeks consumers we can reduce
* Reductions will not be enough to drop below the JFrog 10 TB per month threshold
* Something more significant will be required
* Require authentication?
* Limit bandwidth over a time period?
* Other alternatives?
* Self-host an instance?
* Infrastructure changes are expected
* Limited responses from a few companies
* Likely will block IP addresses of largest consumers for 2 days
* Identify remaining large scale consumers by refusing them for 2 days
* More conversations with those large scale consumers
* Have done some work on our side to reduce the usage on our agents
* Usage has gone down 20-30% since the work started
* Currently don't see a path getting down that low with organic improvements
* Still an ongoing conversation with JFrog
* Next steps are to do some brown outs and block some IP addresses to see who complains
* This will allow us to find out who the top users are and communicate with them to reduce their usage
* In a holding pattern to determine next steps
* Waiting on JFrog for some feedback on what they want to do next
* Cloud expenses and plans
* Current situation (see recent notes from [Infrastructure Meeting](https://github.com/jenkins-infra/documentation/blob/main/meetings/2025-11-04.md#cloud-budgets))
* Microsoft Azure sponsorship ended August 31, 2025
* Transition completed before donated funds were depleted ([help desk 4691](https://github.com/jenkins-infra/helpdesk/issues/4691))
* Azure CDF - Remaining: $24k for 2025:
* October: $5.5k (waiting for final invoice)
* September: $6k
* On target to stay within budget for 2025
* DigitalOcean - Remaining $13,242.16 until January 02, 2026
* October: $788.81

* Increased use as part of migrations, still within budget

* CloudBees:
* October: $580

* Sponsored account ($83k credits lefts until 2027 => ~16 months remaining)
* October: $6.9k
* September: $5.4k
* August: $7k
* Issues with no spot instances being available
* Cost savings from spot instances are currently not enough to justify them
