General business

Present in the meeting: @eelco, @silvan, @tom

• @infinisil: Can we automatically add the open-for-nominations label to new RFCs?
  • Should be fine
  • tomberek: Label is fine, but the official call-for-nominations starts a clock
  • The clock doesn't matter much, people should nominate as early as possible
  • Label only is fine
• announce FCPs in additional venues?
  • @marketing team: tweet, scocial, Matrix
  • Steering committee as bridge to the marketing team
  • Don't do it for the current FCP PR, might invite a lot more comments (not bad but changes the process)
  • Also needs rfcs README update
  • @tomberek will talk to the marketing team
• committee rotation
  • call for additional RFC Steering Committee members
  • @infinisil will draft it from a previous call, ping the internal channel, then post if looks good
