Technical Advisory Council (TAC)

The LF AI & Data Technical Advisory Council facilitates communication and collaboration among all LF AI Technical Projects and Work Groups. Its responsibilities include coordinating collaboration among Technical Projects, including development of an overall technical vision for the community, and making recommendations to the Budget Committee of resource priorities for Technical Projects.
The group meets biweekly on Thursdays, under the direction of our TAC chair, at 6am Pacific U.S./9am Eastern U.S. The registration link for meetings is here.
