Need to discuss licensing of PLC DID library code: current code is GPL, I'd like to consider licensing the core algorithm code more permissively, e.g. BSD/MIT (or possibly compromise on LGPL). This needs agreement from the current contributers as well as a formal vote per the bylaws. fairpm/did-manager#1

[cdils]

For reference here's the relevant bit on a vote from our charter

The TSC may approve the use of an alternative license or licenses for inbound or outbound contributions on an exception basis. To request an exception, please describe the contribution, the alternative open source license(s), and the justification for using an alternative open source license for the Project. License exceptions must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the entire TSC.

Update: language added to contributing.md to clarify TSC co-chair terms

Naming meetings, or anything, could be tricky! I'd like to make it clear for new contributors the nuances between our technical meeting vs our technical steering committee meeting and which topic is best suited for which meeting.

That said, I'm blocked every week at this time and may not be able to actually speak in our meeting today. I asked @cdils to fill in if I'm quiet.

Also regarding meeting times, does this current time work for Europe/Asia contributors? Do we need to readjust or plan in some rotation?
