**New issues**

* #88 Improve Onboarding Documentation for new Contributors and Projects
* Shaun will follow up
* #89 Public integration testing for Stream
* Alex : How integration will be done for Stream. Not only for the individual packages, but for the full compose. Identify who would implement the framework and when.
* Brian : Use same tools as the RHEL gating ; not possible to support it in the infra SIG. Lokking at Zuul (https://zuul-ci.org/). Infra SIG will provide the infrastrucutre needed.
* Ping infra SIG / CPE to make it easier for the community to follow up work.
* Josh : General comment, being careful on what the board can provide as feedback. For this issue there is little that can be done at the board level.
* Brian : Bring it up to next infra meeting, check the agenda.

**Ongoing issues**

* #67 Trusting the SIGs by default, from a CentOS Project perspective (Secureboot)
* Summarize where we are at with SIG trust and see if all steps are followed up by other SIGs. Then we can close it.
* Add the technical details/choice on the ticket.

* Best effort approach to respect people's wishes
* Implementation pending in Infra SIG https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/653
