Topics covered:

• Let's have Maintainers as default reviewers on any new PR for any repos - @astromechza
• Let's fix the owner in licence header to point to CNCF - anyone
  • Update LICENSE - update copyright owner #159
  • Update LICENSE - update copyright owner .github#5
  • Update License owner score-compose#346
• @mathieu-benoit attending/presenting at KubeCon NA in November (+ Score Kiosk!)
• @chris-stephenson attending Containers Day in Hamburg next week
• @astromechza attending coming AWS Day of Containers in London
• @chris-stephenson making progress for the initContainers implementation in score-go --> validation and errors generation in progress (needs some improvements)
• Discussions around implementation specific features/fields - improving the Spec itself, versus bringing the notion of extension/capabilities?
• Score spec is still in v1b1 --> any plan or any gap to promote this as "stable"/v1 at some point? What could be the criteria? What could be the timeframe?
• Score + Kro demo/presentation coming by @mathieu-benoit and Artem
  • score-k8s --> patchers and skip provisioners (rapid MVP)
  • What could be the value of a potential new score-krm implementation? (conversation (Workload + Resources) + no provisioners (remove) --> maybe not that much value on top of the previous bullet point implementation idea with score-k8s.
  • Also score-krm or let's say score-tf doesn't seem to fit, as an implementation needs to be opiniated at the end of the day, example: score-aca.
• GitOps - Define a Kubernetes CRD for Score (contract only; controller left to platforms) #157
  • --> Really good candidate as a new community implementation
• score-aca - let's start a thread to capture what could be the next steps, what's missing, etc. what do we want to do with it, etc.
  • What are the next steps with this repo? score-aca#27

Next Score Community meeting happening on October 2nd 2025, please share the topics you want to covered there #160, or via the CNCF Slack's #score channel.
