• Standing topics - no pending reviews
• CentOS 8 options - Saul
• What should the base OS be for Stx 6.0 and beyond?
• Do we stay on an RPM base?  Move to Debian?
• options:
• Stay on CentOS 7 (supported through 2024)
• Fedora - not a long term supported release, bleeding edge
• OpenSUSE - previous effort to build components / RPMs
• Debian - broadly supported, different package file format, 5.10 kernel
• Open Embedded - POC work done, but no current activity - stx3.0 base with Pike
• Proposal: Create a spec that highlights the issues and proposes a plan going forward
• Creates a record of any issues and the TSC vote on the issue
• Saul will take the action to create the spec
