Convene & roll call

 

 

10 min

Pan-PMC Asks

All

  • Review and reaffirm objectives on which your program roadmap has been built; review progress towards those objectives [note this is in part to help program get ahead of prep for the July board meeting]

    • Restate and contextualize objective in use case terms; Quantify and track objective results using “KRs”

  • Deliberate and decide if you want to request an exception to your program repos being moved to github.com/finos (i.e., current state for all programs but DAV which has already moved). Report back by June 21 to Rob

  • Deliberate and decide if you want/need a GitHub Pages “Microsite” (and if so, when and why -- i.e., in support of what program milestone/release)

  • Let Rob know if you’re interested in piloting use of GH pages in place of the Confluence Wiki

  • Review and revise working group eligibility/participation requirements (if you use them)

  • Review & steward projects that are in incubating status, especially those that have been in incubating status 6+ months, in support of overall FINOS KR to reduce projects incubating 12+ months

  • Collect and share community participant, esp. developer, experiences with 1) learning of/about FINOS and/or 2) (self-)on-boarding

  • Provide infra@finos.org guidance on your wiki permissions

  • Remember to be moderating your google groups – both join requests and messages.

Kdb WG Update

All

Discussion of project speed ensued.

Kdb 

qdoc is on hold

security handler – getting it out github

Reach out to some other orgs/members about participation

5 min

Security Reference Working Group Update

All

  • Steady participation

  • Recent presentation from OpenCorporates re their security reference data products

  • Similar presentations coming from other reference data, security  providers

  • Group would continue to benefit from increased participation

  • Group would also benefit from another "To-Do" for the group; Group may benefit from asking participants if there are other topics of interest.

    • Agency Bond identifiers are on the roadmap, but not much overall engagement at the moment.

 

  • Asked Alvin to review SRD Roadmap for 2019.

  • Ilya should be putting up a roadmap for DRM as well.

2 min

DRM

 

Working Lead still stuck

5 min

Data Tech Meetup Idea.

All

Idea of potentially FINOS allocating some funds for a DT program or specific working group meetup

  • Interest expressed in doing a security reference specific meetup idea

    • Potentially invite the ID providers?

5 min

Wiki vs. Docusaurus for Roadmaps?

 

  • Docusource ingests Markdown and generates a microsite.

  • FDX, FO, etc. have started using it.

  • Those groups have relatively mature offerings to publish.

  • Further along than DT.

 

  • Data Tech WG's will stick with Wiki for now then.

5 min

Roadmap Review

All

  • Consensus was to do roadmap review at the next meeting.

  • Roadmaps will be needed ahead of FINOS program Health Checks in April, however.  Just handle that over email rather than trying to move the scheduled call.

5 min

AOB & adjourn

5 min

Decisions Made

  • For now, program activities will continue to be documented first and foremost on the wiki
