Topics for This Week
- Open Infra Forum / Summit Submissions:
          - Update from Steve Geary
          - Committee met and reviewed the submissions. There are more slots than submissions.
          - The committee will open it to the different projects to have "project sessions" - either 30min or 70min slots
          - This is offered to the StarlingX team as well. We need to get back to them in the next 24hrs.
          - No discussion on having these as virtual sessions.  Audio/video and timezone (Central Europe) maybe challenging.
          - No participants from the community are available to travel to Berlin, so we'll likely not participate in this.
- Elections are coming up!
          - May timeframe: Proposal:  May 9 Nominations, May 16 Campaign if required May 23 Election if required
          - See stx-cores / TSC etherpad for more details: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/stx-cores#L35

ARs from Previous Meetings
- None

Open Requests for Help
- Mellanox ConnectX 40G w/ stx.6.0
          - http://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2022-March/012854.html
          - Multiple email exchanges on the mailing list
          - Summary: With the move to the 5.10 kernel and up-to-date drivers, stx.6.0 no longer supports this CX3 card as Mellanox has dropped support for it in newer driver releases. The stx OS team provided some instructions on how the community user can build their own load with an older driver.
