OE Technical Steering Committee

The TSC consists of 5 people who are elected by, and ultimately be answerable to, the members of the OpenEmbedded organization.

Here is the working copy of the new TSC charter.

Meetings are usually held in #oe-tsc on Libera Chat on 3rd Monday of each month 9PM UTC (10PM UTC during winter time).

The TSC discusses technical issues for the direction of OpenEmbedded. Note that the TSC is NOT chartered with actually doing all of the work discussed, but they do make every effort to locate resources to do that work.

Note: The Yocto Project also has a TSC. Its responsibilities include repositories hosted on [Yocto Project git server], the associated mailing lists, bugzilla, the testing processes and infrastructure/QA and the releases of the project. For more information on that, go to [Yocto Project wiki]

Members

In order by name:

  • Bruce Ashfield (zeddii) re-elected Sep 2023
  • Joshua Watt (JPEW) re-elected Sep 2023
  • Richard Purdie (RP) - re-elected Sep 2023
  • Tim Orling (moto-timo) - elected Sep 2023
  • Jan-Simon Möller (dl9pf) - elected Sep 2023

Each member serves a two-year term.

Responsibilities

On a day-to-day basis the TSC is responsible for making tactical policy decisions, resolving disputes between contributors, administering access control to the git tree, and generally promoting good development practice.

Decision Making

Decisions are made where necessary by majority vote. Once a decision is made by the technical steering committee, the decision should be respected as a democratic decision.
