    • Community Engagement
      • Board recruitment: Wanted to increase transparency of the process of joining the board by 1. updating the website and 2. Adding content to the foundation update slide deck before the upcoming dev meeting.
      • AI Policy: Having a coherent AI policy is important for sustaining the project, which is part of the foundation mission. AI generated contributions are a drag on maintainer bandwidth and are sapping our project resources, so to sustain the project, we need a policy that helps maintainers protect their time practically.
      • Community engagement:
        • Talked about the problem of difficulties upstreaming changes, getting upstream code reviews.
        • Discord (chat, not forum) provides real time communication, which is more accessible to new developers who prefer to avoid asking questions in a durable, searchable, archived forum.
