Decisions (2)
Accepted CLK 6.18 delay to March 31
Approved Jonathan Maple's request to slip CLK 6.18 from March 27 to March 31, due to kernel source-git conversion process. Positively reinforced Maple's proactive escalation.
Considering transition period policy for departures
Agreed to consider a policy change where departing staff could be offered a choice: immediate exit or a paid transition period (e.g., 2 weeks) for a clean handoff. This came from Maple feedback about Trinity terminations creating project handoff gaps.

Lead by Example with New Tools
When championing new tools or processes, personally use them and share results rather than just advocating. Learning by doing and demonstrating value through example is more effective than mandates.
Protect Engineering Focus Through Process
When faced with requests that would disrupt engineering focus (from sales, governance, product, or other stakeholders), establish processes that protect engineering ability to innovate while still satisfying legitimate concerns. Prefer systematic solutions over ad-hoc responses.
