Office Hour meeting minutes​

Release 25.12 – Participation and Preparation​

  • All teams must create their release check issues in sig-release by latest next week to prepare for the briefing meeting.
  • Connector participation in 25.12 is undecided; decision expected after Tuesday’s discussion.
  • Even minimal releases (e.g., only bug fixes) should still raise a check issue.
  • Test phase briefing → next week, kickoff → two weeks after briefing.

Changelog & Documentation Changes​

  • DocuSaurus updated to v3.9.1.
  • New changelog presentation: structured by year/release using DocuSaurus blog plugin.
  • Added contributor/committer acknowledgements (from GitHub analytics).
  • Archived kits now provided; possible change to single current zip package instead of multi-version archives (to be discussed in committer meeting).

Governance & Repository Changes​

  • Digital Product Passport repository deprecated and archived per TRG rules.
    • DPP verification docs → moved to Data Trust & Security Kit.
    • Full DPP documentation now lives in Ecopass.
    • Tutorial relocated to Tutorial Resources (still migrating images).
  • Topic on centralising tutorials for Community Days still open.

Office Hour & Moderation Planning​

  • New round-robin schedule; participants to confirm dates in the shared discussion link.
  • Some moderation slots reallocated due to vacations/conflicts.
  • Check for a new series needed with beginning of next year

Committer Elections​

  • Theresa nominated as committer (focus: release management).
  • Election closing next Thursday; committers asked to vote.
  • Andrii's PMC election pending next PMC Monday meeting.

Community Days​

  • Agenda still forming; workshops/presentations needed.
  • Deadline for workshop confirmation: ideally within next 1–2 weeks, but minor changes possible up to event date.
  • Semiconductor-X project may provide up to two workshops (cross-dataspace, traceability) depending on progress.

Security Reminders​

  • Teams must check and address security tab issues to avoid deprecation.

Postgres 17 Upgrade & Image Source Problem​

  • 25.09 used Bitnami Legacy images (last viable for that release).
  • For 25.12+, Bitnami Legacy is not sustainable — need an alternative.
  • Options under consideration:
    • Official Docker Hub Postgres images (license implications to check).
    • Cloud Pirates Helm charts/images (to evaluate; may wrap Docker Hub Postgres).
    • Hosting our own images (currently no team capacity).
  • Eclipse Foundation guidance: use Bitnami Legacy for Sept release, evaluate Cloud Pirates for next.
  • Action: Committers to research viable alternatives and check licensing with Eclipse Legal (possibly via Angelika).
  • Decision deferred to Committer Round.
