OSS Europe in Amsterdam

  • Booth representative -> Please fill in, when you have some time in your schedule. Link shared via mail and in chat.
    • Few slots still open. Thanks to all who already signed up for supporting!
  • Hold for a community happy hour on Tuesday after Tux Trek
    • Use discord channel for alignment
  • Discord channel exists for OSS EU

Next ELISA Workshop Timing & Location

  • Date considered: Nov 18th to 20th
  • Olivier and Gab are checking (due to vacation period). Philipp need to check room availability, but it works in principle at ETAS Hildesheim
  • More details on topics to be discussed at coming TSC meeting.
  • Should fix location latest by September 17th

Glossary / Big Picture / Hello World entry

Usage of AI in the Linux Kernel development process

  • Usage of AI in the Linux Kernel development process (from requirements to testing) to reduce the risk of systematic error
  • Existing ksummit thread on kernel mailing list:
  • No functional safety standard that regulates the AI for the creation of software development process artifact, like generating requirements or test cases or architectural diagrams.
  • Today you can ask AI to create specifications based on existing code. But the question is: How can you reduce systematic errors by the use of AI?
    • Birdeye view idea for a virtual cycle: Let create a specification. Than take the specification to create test cases. Then apply the test cases to the code. Take iterations until code, spec and tests are consistent.
    • Be careful not to miss the verification measures on the left side of the v.
    • Not replace existing verification model, but plug in AI to reduce systematic errors and have something equivalent to the requirement ISO 26262 put on the development cycle.
  • You can train AI with requirements and providing the code and this creates very good diagrams from first experiments. (Doesn't replace human though but accelerates discovery/clarification when learning a complex area of code.)
  • Continue this discussion during next TSC.

Meeting recordings and transcriptions

  • Recently auto transcription was switched on in a working group meeting.
    • This was an automatic transcript. So person had to exit and rejoin to turn it off.
  • Also in Workshops this happened in the past.
  • Any concerns or viewpoints on this topic?
  • Note: In the past we explicitly decided not to record meetings, but we never talked about transcripts nor AI summaries.
    • The Organizational Rules currently state: "No recordings of working group meetings are permitted. Special provisions may be arranged for recording in advance with explicit consent of the participants."
  • Concern on capture the conversation with the names as transcript.
  • Chatham House rule typically followed during meetings, so transcripts may violate with it.
  • It can be useful to have recordings for presentations.
  • AI is not trained for our safety language. So transcripts easily are wrong.
    • Transcripts need to revisited.
  • For workshops transcripts could be beneficial for better following the conversation. It is also an inclusive element for non-native speakers. It can be used as an aid for some.
  • Rather than principle denial or a simple "against/for" we should have some guiding rules.
    • Make sure that all participants agree in e.g. record or enable transcripts.
    • In general recording and transcriptions will not be turned on.
    • Properly document the agreement in the meeting minutes
    • In whatever is agreed transcripts must not be shared and are only for the personal use.
  • AI-Philipp: Draft a revised policy and put it under TSC GitHub
    • Philipp will prepare a draft and create a PR with Paul, Matt and Olivier as reviewers.

[Skipped] Survey/Research about Quality of Open Source

  • Kate is currently checking with LF Research on possibilities and if there is overall benefit seen in such a survey.
  • Continue the discussion also in person during OSS EU in Amsterdam (potentially with the LF Research people like Hillary) and also during TSC meeting.
