    • No further progress
    • Allow other licenses like the JSON license
    • Some other approach?
    • What license should be used for a library plugin?
      • License of the wrapped library (if wrapped library has no separate code, then seems likely)
      • MIT license as used by Jenkins plugins (if abstraction layer in the plugin, then MIT for ours?)
    • Review responses from other projects to license mixture (e.g. PyPI)
      • Mostly focuses on OSI approved licenses but include a separate category for other licenses
        • Have categories for freeware, public domain, and more
        • Reasonable precedent for allowing a wider range of licenses
        • Needs more discussion, but being more permissive is working for PyPI
        • Newer licenses may be more controversial

A quick follow-up to the election: All roles have a nominee, and the nominee would serve in their nominated position.
All positions have a single nominee only, and therefore there's no need for a vote because the nominees are uncontested.

I'm unable to join the meeting today, unfortunately :/

Hmm, it seems that I missed the meeting. It was not adapted to the winter time, sorry. Can we move it again back to the same local time?

Meeting time has been adjusted to start at 6:00 PM Berlin time.  I should have switched from UTC time for that meeting long ago, since we need the meeting time to adjust to the transitions between winter time and summer time in Germany.
