## **Attendees**

- OpenRefine: Martin, Jan, Esther, Julie

The call lasted 40 minutes.

## **Discussions**

### **Apple Status**

Martin published the documentation to manage secrets on [PR #8000](https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/pull/8000)

Martin asked CS&S to grant access to our @tfmorris (Core Team Member) as Admin so he can self-manage the certificate. Martin mentioned that Core Dev Team roles are defined by our governance and represent committed long-term contributors to OpenRefine

Kena will review with CS&S leadership how we can add a volunteer without a contractual relationship with CS&S as an admin.

### OpenRefine Status

- Martin provided an update on Community calls (no change since [last week's update](https://forum.openrefine.org/t/september-24-2026-advisory-committee/3003))
- Survey status: 178 answers so far. Martin will close the survey later this week

### Funding

- We are pending OS4LS's answer
- The 2026 Donation campaign would be a voluntary effort to roll it out. Martin priority remains on the Community Calls and processing the Survey results.
- We reviewed [Open Call for Proposals - Humanity AI](https://humanityai.ai/open-call/); Martin will further assess eligibility.
