Meeting Minutes 2019-11-07 TianoCore Community Meeting (APAC/NAMO)

Community Manager
	* Stephano Cetola has moved to a position with the Linux Foundation. Thanks to Stephano for all of his work supporting and growing the TianoCore community.
	* Brian Richardson (Intel) is temporarily serving as community manager, covering public facing items (community meetings, events). Thanks to other community members for help covering bug triage and design meetings.
	* There is a plan to bring on a new community manager in a few months.
	* Brian will update calendar invites for future meetings.

FOSDEM - Feb 1-2, 2020 in Brussels.
	* Large open source firmware conference in Europe (~8,000 attendees).
	* First year there is a dedicated 'open source firmware' track room. Covers topics like EDK II, coreboot, LinuxBoot, u-boot, and OpenBMC.
	* Track room runs on Saturday (Feb 1). Should be a dozen 20 minute presentation slots available.
	* CFP for firmware room closes December 1st.
	* https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2019q4/002933.html

UEFI SCT - UTWG is looking for contributors. Plans to integrate UEFI SCT into CI system, but not as many resources working on the project at this time.
	
TianoCore CI Process
	* v4 patch series is under review. Maintainers will need to review before it is active on edk2 master. Uses pull request instead of direct push to trigger CI.
	* Please use labeling properly (don't set 'push' label for personal build). Push label causes changes to be pushed if all tests pass.
	* Once CI is active and tested (1-2 weeks), write access on the CI repos will be restricted to admins.

Code First Process - under discussion in stewards meetings
	* Goal is a process to develop proposals for future UEFI spec improvements in open source prior to submission to the UEFI Forum.
	* Repo for development - edk2-staging is preferred. Need to identify/filter 'code first' branches. 
	* Naming convention will be important to distinguish pre-spec implementations.
	* Next Steps: RFC for code first process (under development).

Linux Line Endings - still in plan, after next stable tag. Contributors should raise issues early. A 'converted fork' can be used for community testing.

Thanks ... br
