DECISION: We will turn on Github Discussions in our Github repo.

Drummond Reed Andor Kesselman 

Andor raised issue #37 for us to figure out the set of labels we want to use for organizing and prioritizing our work on GitHub issues. The thread so far has arrived at this list (see the thread for more details):

• priority-1
• priority-2
• priority-3
• defer-to-V2
• editorial
• substantial
• correction
• needs-special-group
• needs-proposal
• needs-PR
• PR-exists
• last-call-to-close

Is this list complete? Any revisions or additions?

ACTION: Drummond Reed to update the GitHub Issues Management wiki page to include: a) this revised list of labels, b) a table explaining how each label ties into the process, c) more detail about the Editor role, including managing issue assignments, d) the Maintainer role. DONE.

ACTION: Andor Kesselman volunteered to implement the set of labels in issue #37. DONE.

Andor posted the following two issues so we can start moving forward at speed with issues processing:

• #45: Decide roles and provide permissions -

ACTION: Editors to come up with a list of proposed permissions and work with Elisa Trevino to assign the necessary access rights.

• #40: Merge process discussion - Whats the process and who can merge? 

  @wenjing suggested break out: Editor and Maintainer.

  Antti:

  • Maintainer decides what goes into which version. Own the document/published version.
  • Someone needs to decide who goes into the release.

  
  

ACTION: Antti Kettunen volunteered to propose a repo management process. DONE.

• Abbie:

  • It can help to assign a Lead editor who can help drive decisions among the Editors.
  • Drummond agreed and suggested letting the Editors self-organize.

ACTION:  Christine Martin and/or Drummond Reed to create an #tswg-tech-arch-editors channel on Slack. DONE.

To get us going, Drummond has added comments including proposed labels on the following issues: #36, #34, #32, #31, #29.

APAC:

We discussed issue #31, which concerns the differences between Figure 4 in Working Draft 03 (Google doc) and Figure 4 in the Github Markdown document.

Andor Kesselman very helpfully copied both figures into the issue so it is much easier to compare them.

Jo Spencer added a comment about what he believes the essence of the distinction is.

ACTION: Drummond Reed to collect his thoughts on issue #31 and add a comment.

Given that the APAC call consisted of just four editors (Andor, Christine, Jo, Drummond), we concluded that with the labels now set up and assignments being made, we should be able to proceed asynchronously at maximum speed over the next week.

ACTION: Drummond Reed to post a message to the #tswg-tech-arch-tf channel urging all TF members to being self-assigning and working issues.
