+
+Summary
+=======
+
+OFAC Sanctions and Project Updates:
+===================================
+
+The meeting began with Megan introducing herself and the agenda, which included a focus on OFAC sanctions and updates
+from open source projects. Rod confirmed that the recordings from the Mini summit were published and agreed to send them
+out. The group discussed the OFAC sanctions issue raised by Michael Voss, with Michael providing an overview of the
+topic and emphasizing that he is not a lawyer. The conversation ended with a reminder for participants to add any
+additional agenda items to the chat or to Megan and John.
+
+Sanctions Compliance and Legal Implications:
+============================================
+
+Mike explained the legal implications of sanctions against specially designated nationals, noting that US citizens and
+organizations must comply with these rules worldwide, even if unaware of violations. He highlighted that the rules
+impose strict liability, meaning any infractions can result in fines or criminal penalties, and emphasized that
+ownership of 50% or more by sanctioned individuals or organizations can also trigger sanctions.
+
+Open Source Contribution Policy Challenges:
+===========================================
+
+Mike raised concerns about the challenges of enforcing contribution policies for open source projects, particularly
+regarding unsolicited patches and two-way engagement with individuals or organizations on restricted lists. Megan
+acknowledged these issues and suggested exploring guidance from the Linux Foundation and OpenSSF, noting the need for
+unified policies across projects. She proposed taking the lead on this matter, including consulting with OpenSSF's
+security experts and discussing it with the operations team, to find practical solutions for identity management and
+contribution verification.
+
+oneDNN Updates:
+===============
+
+Mourad reported on oneDNN, mentioning a release candidate for 3.9 expected at the end of the week, with potential delays
+due to new features and PyTorch's schedule. They also noted interest from the Barcelona supercomputing group in adding
+RISC-V capabilities.
+
+oneMath Updates:
+================
+
+Andrey said oneMath did not have much of a update. The are focused on maintenance releases at the moment.
+
+oneDAL Updates:
+===============
+
+Ian and Aleksandr ("Sasha") provided updates on oneDAL, mentioning bug fixes and preparation for the 2025.3 release in
+November.
+
+oneTBB Updates:
+===============
+
+Mike shared that oneTBB's next release in 2022.3 would focus on improvements to the tasking API, requested by the visual
+effects community. The team agreed that monthly releases generally work well for them, allowing for better feedback on
+dependencies.
+
+oneDPL Updates:
+===============
+
+The team discussed the status and development of oneDPL, a portable library for CPUs, which currently sees primarily
+Intel-related usage. Timmie reported ongoing work on range-based APIs for parallel algorithms and GPU performance
+improvements, particularly for set operation algorithms. Alexey explained that oneDPL's CPU support serves as an
+upstream source for the C++ standard library's parallel algorithms, though this relationship has recently become less
+active.
+
+oneCCL Updates:
+===============
+
+Maria provided updates on CCL, noting their work on supporting Battle Match ARB-PE and PyTorch upstream, with plans for
+a patch release in mid-August and a major release in October that will include a new C API design as a non-default
+option.
+
+Dev Summit Presentation Submissions Discussion:
+===============================================
+
+The meeting was shorter than usual due to the summer season, with Aaron absent from the office. Rod requested that John
+share videos from the Open Source Summit and a link to the Call for Presentations for the upcoming Dev summit. John
+encouraged all projects to submit presentations, emphasizing the importance of sharing their work within the
+foundation. The conversation ended with thanks from Megan and the participants.
