Summary

LDCG voted in 100% in support of future projects to Open by guidelines documented below. HPC SIG is now holding a vote on whether to open the current and future HPC engineering underway as an "Open Project". This does not change steering committee meetings to OPEN, but rather engineering meetings. Deadline for this vote is close of business on Friday , 27 March 2020 Pacific.

An open project is one where:
- Code base is licensed via one or more OSI approved license.
- Project meetings are open.
- These share project plans, discuss code and design issues and so on. Note that these are technical meetings involving maintainers and engineers.
- Open to interested attendees (without voting rights).
- Minutes and actions are published and openly available.
- Maintain code in fully open repositories, such as github or gitlab.
- Discuss code development, issues, bug fixes and new functionality via fully open email lists, IRC etc.
- Whatever communication is used, it should be archived and openly available.
