# Agenda

* Previous minutes
* https://hackmd.io/3dhHIg1hSVmvcS_W6uJ8zw
* Leadership Check-in
* Meeting Schedule
* CentOS 7 AMI availability
* Deleting them from AWS will break folks autoscalers
* There are a lot of "3rd party" AMIs that repackage CentOS
* The metadata should accurately reflect the update/eol status
* Perhaps adding some sort of /etc/motd saying eol
* Of course, cloud users don't tend to use console logins
* When the repos move to "vault.centos.org" the yum repo defs will error out
* Making it work "as if it is still updated" is dangerous and may be setting users up for failure.
* CentOS Stream 8 EOL Communications (Troy)
* Adam would like to send EOL emails
* Some community members may reply to sender with frustrations about dates
* Amy and Pat have offered editing services
* Shaun has offered to send it out

### Issues

https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issues

**Issues to be closed (ACTION close all of them if no objection)**

* * [#125](https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issue/125): Board Activity clarity in governance
* Opened for voting or changes - https://git.centos.org/centos/centos.org/pull-request/212

* [#118](https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issue/118): Decision Needed for Open CPE Initiative on lists.centos.org

**New issues**

**Issues on hold**

* [#80](https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issue/80): CentOS Stream9 in WSL
* [#114](https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issue/114): Create a new Centos Legacy mirror in Norway
* [#113](https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issue/113): CentOS Stream 9 Mirror request
* We are ok with a mirror being created but there is a trademark issue with centos.no being registered and used https://www.centos.org/legal/trademarks/
* They are already using the domain name https://mirror.centos.no/centos-stream/9-stream/
* They can donate the machine and give us control and we would admin it but still be in their network which would allow them to maintain what they have. They would need to turn over the domain name to us.

### Community Architect updates

* SCaLE went well. Good booth traffic. CentOS Classroom had good turnout, could be streamlined.
* Red Hat Summit is next month. Join us on Community Day and in Community Central.
* Do we want to discuss updates to EOL notices?
