The group is preparing for the upcoming year, which includes conducting a survey and scheduling a community call. Martin has identified different topics for the call and has begun the scheduling process. Next, he will reach out to the community to find a speaker and a participant.
First, the policy does not apply specifically to OpenRefine. It is a general policy that applies to all projects hosted under the Code for Science & Society fiscal sponsorship program. The Advisory Committee appreciates that CS&S is providing visibility into the different offboarding processes should a project ever fall into that situation.
Under the fiscal sponsorship agreement, projects are expected to generate at least $25,000 in annual revenue per fiscal year (the CS&S fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30). For the current fiscal year, OpenRefine is in good standing with respect to that requirement.
It is also worth emphasizing that this policy concerns the administrative relationship between OpenRefine and CS&S, not the project itself. CS&S provides fiscal and administrative infrastructure, but OpenRefine remains an independent open-source project. Over the years, the project has successfully navigated different organizational and governance arrangements.
