Minutes

Project activity updates:

  • We are now on the open source plan of 1password. We will have to renew it in 2 years. 1password reimbursed us (pro-rated) for the fees that we already paid this year.
  • We are in the progress of getting the final update to our logo agreement for enterprises done.
  • Some of the toolkits used on our website were updated.
  • Zeek Package Contest 3 (ZPC-3) results will be posted this week.

Subprojects updates:

Testing:

  • The first draft of the blog post announcing the subgroup is done and currently waiting for reviews.
  • We will set up an email address (testing@zeek.org), as well as a Slack channel for the testing subgroup.

Training:

  • The subgroup has a slack channel and will have a mailing list (training@zeek.org).
  • Next steps:
    • create a public announcement of the group.
    • create a first draft of what Zeek-approved training means – which will then be discussed with the LT.

Zeek Week

  • The LT had a discussion about potential keynote speakers for Zeek Week 2021. A LT member agreed to come up with suggestions that will be debated in a future meeting.
  • The CFP for Zeek Week will come out around the beginning of May
  • Detailed financing is being worked on and will have to be reviewed in the future.

Mission, Vision, and Values:

  • The LT is working on documenting the Mission, Vision and Values of the Zeek project. There was a short discussion about this topic and two LT members volunteered to work on different parts of the draft document.

LT Goals discussion:

  • The LT had a discussion about potential goals for the current Leadership Team.
  • A couple of idea were brought up:
    • The LT could come up with concrete metrics to try to achieve. An example would be a certain number of community-lead subgroups. However, it was also stated that it is hard to think about goals that have concrete numbers attached – qualitative shifts are easier.
    • We discussed the need to identify and work towards long-term revenue streams for the project.
    • There was a general desire to find long-term income sources for the project
    • Several members of the LT also expressed that the LT should deepen the contact and have conversations with companies that are using Zeek, to get them more engaged in the project. The LT also shortly discussed the plans for a future event at which companies using Zeek can present their solutions.
