Used by the OpenTelemetry technical steering committee for internal communication. This mailing list should be used sparingly as we strive to keep all communication public. It only should be used to contact the technical steering committee with questions that cannot be discussed publicly on github, gitter, or the community or contributors mailing lists.

Mailing list to notify and request reviews of upcoming announcements, or request a post on the OpenTelemetry Twitter account or other public channels.
All OpenTelemetry projects are shipped under the permissive Apache 2.0 license as CNCF IP Policy dictates. This blog post explains the reasoning behind choosing this license.
We host monthly community video conferences, alternating between times that work for Europe and Asia. These meetings are open to all contributors!
Meeting invites can be accessed from our public Calendar (web, gCal, iCal), and we keep public notes in the agenda document available here.
We organize the community into Special Interest Groups (SIGs) in order to improve our workflow and more easily manage a community project.
Please do not hesitate to contact SIG owners if the proposed time of the meeting or tools used are unavailable for you. For instance, it will be a good practice to alternate morning/evening meetings once SIG has representatives from 3 largely distinct timezones. The best way to report it and suggest an alternative is to file an issue on this repository or discuss it in SIG-specific gitter channel.
This is a group for people interested in writing cross-language specifications and participate in high-level design discussions. SIG will be led by the members of a Technical Committee @open-telemetry/technical-committee. It is recommended for all members of @open-telemetry/specs-approvers and open for all.
