TSC Overview
The Technical Steering Committee (TSC) is the main decision-making authority of the OpenFL project. The TSC defines the strategic objective of the project, makes business & legal decisions, as well as high-level technical decisions. The TSC consists of elected members. The election takes place every year by the end of the first quarter (Q1) of the year* , but changes in the TSC may be made during the year based on the project needs and the decision by current TSC members.
The current list of TSC members is here. The number of TSC members can be increased, but up to a reasonable size (no more than 9 people). The minimum size of the TSC should not be less than 3 people.
* For 2023 there will be no elections, TSC members and Chair are defined by the founding organizations.
