OpenJS Foundation Cross Project Council Meeting - September 15, 2026

All right, we're uh getting this ball rolling. Thanks for attending another episode of the cross project council's or so sorry the OpenJS Foundation's cross project council meeting. Today is uh the 15th of September 2026. Thanks everybody for joining. Um we can kind of get right into things. Are there any announcements? >> We have node comp EU happening in Bolognia uh in at the end of next week. It's coming up quick. And then the node project is having a node collaborator summit. Um so that'll be great. That's three days of Node. Uh this past week we've had the open viz collab summit. So you'll see videos and a recap blog coming out of that. Lots of great work. >> Awesome. Cool. Um, anything on the board side? Board meeting updates. >> Our next board meeting is September 25th. I believe we took um August off because it was render ATL. >> Yeah. Okay. Uh, great. So, if anybody has anything that needs to be brought to the board, um, please let us know. There's an issue label, too, if that's uh the preferred path. Um, so I think that this uh meeting uh template is still a little bit uh off, but I'm going to try to pop through here really quickly. Uh the first looking at the staff updates, the first one, the legal info is still the loop back thing. Um which I'm just going to not even comment on because I don't think about that anymore. Um, this label doesn't even seem to exist anymore. Oh, no. No. Okay, it was just a GitHub glitch. Um, so yeah, nothing on either of those any of those three staff update line items. Um, let's maybe wait on figuring out what the working session is to kind of go through the rest of the things. Um we we um have some elections coming up uh that we will uh start to get into in in the next um you know couple of sessions. Um so uh I'm going to just kind of move past some of that stuff. I'm going to leave the working group updates for the end um and just get right into the CPC agenda. So, the first item on the list is uh 1797, the um ad network stuff. Uh any updates on this? >> Yes, the uh we did actually do, speaking of the board, we did an email vote uh to expedite that instead of waiting till September 25th because we had a lot of great feedback uh from the CPC. Um I know there are some project briefings as well. Um, and I know the folks um at Carbon Ads had uh they may have some surplus um ad content coming into the fourth quarter that we did not want to miss. So, we got that um passed. I updated the issue yesterday, I believe. And uh now I'll start working with the projects and uh and just get that going. So, I'm pretty excited. We'll announce we'll do a blog as well. If you've seen, for example, what Mozilla did, it was really well done. So something in that spirit. So >> cool. >> Very cool. Um just a quick question on how do we handle this? Do we close this issue? Um and do we um sort of organize some kind of review um in um I don't know like mid 27 something like this to to discuss like what this looks like or um how do you all think about this? Wow. As awake as I am. >> We do quarterly, you know, reports and updates with our um ecosystem sustainability partners. We haven't quite reported that out, but it's, you know, it's it's been working. We, you know, we always want to do more, but, you know, we've seen it. It took about maybe a year before, you know, some of our anticipated revenue started to go up. Um, but you know, we can do that. We can get more into a rhythm with that. >> I mean, I think that would be cool. Like, you know, like like we're trying to do with working groups and with projects >> of having like some updates to the CPC. Yeah, >> I think it would be nice to also uh maybe have updates on these topics at whatever cadence makes sense. >> Yeah, we can do that. >> I think that would be great. >> Yeah, because we have the content already. Happy to share. Yeah. >> Very cool. >> All right. >> I'm just gonna put a note also. >> Yeah, I do think Toby that we can probably close this issue. Right. It is it is very specific to the discussion and exploration and and that's all done. >> Yeah. So, I'm just going to put a note on this. Um, it would be great to have a regular update on how these funding programs of these sustainability programs are going. Okay, I'll just write this. Um, I'm going and uh Robin and the staff and and staff offered to do so on a regular basis to do so on. All right, cool. I'll add it to the notes also >> and I'm closing this. >> Excellent. Thank you for all that. Uh, moving along, the next item is update the meeting templates. And I have uh opened up the repo and I'm going to do it um as soon as we are done with this meeting because I keep saying, "Oh yeah, somebody should do that." And I know what I would like to see happen. So, I'm going to do it. Great. Um, next item on the agenda is uh provide guidance on governance for projects. >> Yes, we had a good working session on that last week um and have some feedback. I've taken the action to clean it up. I think I I need to add a little bit more on um IP and I'm I think I'm going to have our attorney take a quick look as well. Um and then we should be able to then probably throw it into a PR for feedback. Awesome. >> Um, >> so I I didn't make it last week. Um, uh, c can we just be, uh, mindful that there's also guidance, IP guidance, um, in a separate docu uh, and so that we don't have um, overlap or that or that we combine them together so that there's at least like like consistency between the two. Yeah. Good point. >> Yes. Yeah, good point. >> Great. Um, next item on the agenda is the um annual project presentations. Uh, Nathan Walker suggests September 15th or 29th. I'm guessing we can look at the 29th. um >> node comp. >> Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So, um I think we should maybe propose >> the time after that. Um how does that end up working out? Like will we like have two I'm guessing we'll we'll cancel um the 29th. >> That's a good idea. Um, in which case the 6th would be a working session, which I will be traveling that day. I imagine Robin will be too. >> And so we're looking at probably October 13th as perhaps a suggested uh alternative. I'm just going to quick drop a quick note in there with Node Comp EU and uh related travel. would be best if it scripts presents on October 13th. Oops. What the heck? How did I do that? Sorry, I somehow selected all and deleted my message. Uh, but I got it back. Uh, please and thank you. All right, I'm going to put the comments on that and uh hopefully work that out. Um and then so the last item on the agenda is the collab space stuff. Um uh Kate isn't here. Uh so um but I assume that um you know that's progressing as it will progress and uh you know we're getting there. Uh so that's it for the agenda. Where's my Zoom meeting? There it is. Um anybody else have anything for the agenda or should we talk about uh working group stuff? Cool. We'll jump into the working group uh stuff or I guess maybe let me ask do we what do we want to do for working session next week? That's a good thing to just decide before we get into the working groups. Does it make sense to do more work on um the guidance um uh right now or do we want to Yeah. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I was just wondering if there was any review or something we wanted to do, but yeah. >> Oh, we could for a final, I guess, but I think we need something else. >> Okay. I'm looking to see what uh working session um labels we might have. Or is it CPC working session? Oh, do we have like a do we do we even have an issue that collects them? I can't remember what our tooling >> No, but we have a label for it though. >> Yeah, but I saw there's a label for Hang on. Let me see what it says. Working Oh, working CPC working session agenda. >> That's another one. I don't know what that is. There's like a CPC working session. >> Yeah. Yeah. I know. I feel like we were we were there was an issue that was being created. I don't know if it is anymore, which is okay. We'll figure that out. Not not important right now. But if I look at that label, CPC working session label, we've got uh governance um um uh clarify CPC and TSC responsibilities and limitations, which was opened up uh a year ago. Uh clarify charter requirements, which was opened up over a year ago. And match repositories. Oh, this one match repository structure to readme process and policy section. You remember? You remember that thing we were working on? Oh, that was fun. >> I think we can just ask like Claude to do that for us now. >> Yeah. Right. >> Yeah. Spring cleaning. >> Exactly. >> Yeah. >> Organizing, >> which isn't a bad idea. Yeah. And and Ben shared um an an issue here for CBC working session agenda from last week, which has those four things that I just listed out. So, >> I went fancy. Sorry, what was that, Toby? >> No, no, I'm I'm impressed. >> Yeah, tooling. Should we do cleanup, some some governance review and cleanup and and and um maybe even discuss these other issues and whether they're even issues, how we might want to um address them, if they're still things that we want to address. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> Why don't we do just a repo cleanup in general? >> Yeah. Yeah. I think that maybe that's what uh Robin meant by spring clean up. I'm not sure. >> I mean, unless you want because the cleanup there that issue was like the reading me stuff that Chris and I were all busy doing and I don't think any of us is in a mood to like look into this for like next week. >> Yeah. Yeah. All right. So next week um uh repo cleanup uh governance uh >> the governance my understanding was Robin was suggesting that this needed like a bit more time before putting it back on the working. >> Yeah, we can do another quick another quick review before we throw it into a PR. Yeah. >> Okay. So now >> Oh, okay. So Oh, I I heard the opposite. I heard like that needed a bit more like maybe >> I want to have I want to have our legal counsel just take a quick glance to make sure we're covered because I think >> Right. And you think that will be done by next week and or not? >> Oh yeah. >> Oh well. I mean I know I know great >> we have the most fast responsive legal team. I'm telling you. >> I mean that's not incorrect. Uh uh um um but uh you know it it didn't feel necessarily that it was either short or like you know top off the pile kind of problem. All right, cool. So in that case Yeah. Okay. So in that case, okay, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding and uh >> Oh, great. >> So in the notes I have next week repo cleanup governance quick review before final PR and discuss the issues that have CPC working session label. There are four and some are quite old. Makes sense, right? Beautiful. >> Excellent. All right. So, now into the uh working group updates. I will just get right into it. Anything from the AI group? No, I I don't uh I don't know if it's been meeting lately. Uh things have been busy and and whatnot. Uh bundler collab space. And let me actually look and see which update this meeting uh thing. I just want to see which ones we we want to remove the ecosystem working group and the package vone collab. Uh so >> yeah and I'm not sure the bundler is going to quite launch yet because the our sponsor is kind of working on other projects right now Cladio. So not quite sure unless we have somebody to step up. >> It hasn't quite launched I would say. >> Okay. So we'll we'll leave that for now. um ecosystem working group I think is one of the ones that we are saying we need to remove for now and do that ad hoc uh open viz if anybody has anything from them here um and then uh package metadata interop uh anything from there which which was the other one that we wanted to pull out oh the package v collab space um package vault. So you have a a PR uh that you put in here, Chris. >> Yeah, let's just merge that real quick. It's just one saying that this group has been uh superseded by the security working group and then merge that PR and then archive the repo. >> Okay, great. I will approve it as well. Um, this approved. I can just merge this. Do we care about squash and merge? I do. That's what I do. >> There's only one commit, so there's nothing to squash. >> Oh, okay. Well, I still do it anyway. Oh, invalid email for web commit. What? It's All right, somebody else merge it. I don't know why it's giving me this error. I'm just going to ignore it because it's Um, security. Anything in security? I see agenda and notes from September 14th call. Ben, you want to summarize? I saw a nod there a little. >> Yeah. Um, well, I have to summarize. That's why I put the notes in here. Um, if folks want to read it. Um, good shot. Uh we have a new grant coming in from Alpha Omega that we're um working on staffing and and uh metrics for success with the STA which has been really good. Oh, Robin, you're muted. >> And new grant coming in for Sovereign Tech Fund. You said Alpha. >> So Tech Fund. I forgot that they changed their >> Sovereign Tech Fund. Yeah. >> Yes. >> You said Alpha Omega. So >> did I? >> Too many grants. >> Exactly. >> Robin, I'm going to let you. >> It's not a bad problem to have. Yeah, >> I was going to say it's a good problem to have. >> It is. Yeah, I know. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> Uh so that's great. Yeah, it's it's a really healthy um group. Um we have really good attendance which is really nice and it's active and they're they're working on interesting things. So it's it's a real pleasure to to help them with that. >> Cool. I like the CNA um month off. I think that's great. Yeah. And I just wanted to call it out here. >> Yeah. And Ulysus has been reaching out individually to projects, giving them early heads up over the past month. So, and um the blog that uh he wrote that's posted on our blog is wonderfully done. >> Um okay. Uh excellent. Moving on. Anything from standards? >> Um, I don't think there's anything new to report. >> Okay. Sustainability. >> That's an ad hoc group. We haven't met in some time. >> Okay. Um, great. So, that is that list. Uh, and that is kind of the whole uh thing here, right? Yep. I bounced around, but scrolling around, I don't see anything else we need to review. Um, so we can call this public uh meeting to a close. We can give back time or uh chat about anything else uh after hours. So, um, anything else before I close the session? All right. Thanks y'all.
