We have an hour (1-2pm UK time) scheduled for a general Stan Community meeting on Thursday August 22. This is meant to be distinct from the Developer’s meetings happening Tues/Wed/Fri.
I will be available for questions/feedback as executive director of the Stan Governing Body (SGB). On the agenda at this point is:
What the SGB has been up to.
Report financials.
Discuss the electorate that forms the SGB and votes on referendums.
Please post possible topics in the responses.
The meeting will likely be streamed, I am not quite sure how to handle inbound communications but I am sure we can work something out.
I am not sure if this is meant to be discussed here… so dismiss if wrongly placed… I would like to seek advise from the SGB on how to proceed with the current licensing issue we face in Stan-math. The issue at hand is that we struggle to get legal advise on the question about including the Intel Tbb with the Apache 2.0 licence. Thus I would like to share what we know and maybe a decision can be reached already. If this is something to discuss, then let me know in advance please so that I can compile something to facilitate the discussion.
