+
+

+
+1. Roll call
+2. Foundation dissolution status update
+3. Concerns about (lack of redundancy) in PR project [1]
+4. Policy on AI contributions and tooling [2][3][4]
+5. Open bugs with Council participation [5]

+Roll call
+=========
+
+Present: arthurzam (proxy for mattst88), ajak, ulm, sam, soap, mgorny
+Absent: dilfridge
+
+
+Foundation dissolution status update (following vote in bug 925736)
+===================================================================
+
+SPI extended a formal invitation for Gentoo to join in their meeting [6]
+and we accepted with a formal vote on Bugzilla [7] between the last Council
+meeting and this one, after the SPI meeting.
+
+The vote was unanimous in favor of accepting the invitation:
+* Council: 7y/0n/0a [unanimous]
+* Foundation (trustees): 5y/0n/0a [unanimous]
+
+ulm and dilfridge had also prepared and published a news item [8] on
+the gentoo.org homepage.
+
+
+Concerns about (lack of redundancy) in PR project
+=================================================
+
+No response to mgorny's calls for volunteers for the PR project
+and no response from the PR project members, other than dilfridge
+offering access to the Facebook group if any volunteers were
+interested.
+
+Council discussed shared credentials. mgorny noted that we could
+have a policy of dedicated accounts having credentials kept in
+infra-secrets.git, while if personal accounts are used, we would
+require e.g. at least 2 people in the group/organization.
+
+Motion (agreed by consensus/acclamation): an email should be written
+to gentoo-project requesting better redundancy and mentioning
+the above suggestions with regard to credentials.
+
+
+Policy on AI contributions and tooling
+======================================
+
+Motion from the email thread:
+> It is expressly forbidden to contribute to Gentoo any content that has
+> been created with the assistance of Natural Language Processing
+> artificial intelligence tools.  This motion can be revisited, should
+> a case been made over such a tool that does not pose copyright, ethical
+> and quality concerns.
+
+The vote was 6y/0n/1a (all present members voted yes).
+
+sam noted as obiter dicta that the mail also mentioned:
+> This explicitly covers all GPTs, including ChatGPT and Copilot, which is
+> the category causing the most concern at the moment.  At the same time,
+> it doesn't block more specific uses of machine learning to problem
+> solving.
+
+Several council members noted that we will revisit the policy if and
+when circumstances change and that it isn't intended to permanent,
+at least not in its current form.
+
+mgorny agreed to write up the policy at
+https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/AI_policy.
+
+
+Open bugs with Council participation
+====================================
+
+* bug 925014 ("PR services lacking developer redundancy") which was
+already discussed as a previous agenda item in this meeting.
+
+* bug 926867 ("Vote: Gentoo Linux accepts the invitation to become an SPI associated project [...]")
+which too was already discussed.
+
+* bug 925736 ("Vote: Gentoo Linux applies to become an SPI associated project")
+which too was already discussed.
+
+
+Open floor
+==========
+
+arthurzam mentioned proactively figuring out the next Council term elections
+as is customary and we agreed to ping the elections team.
+
+arthurzam also asked about pending council logs/summaries needing to be uploaded.
