Code languishing on "incubator" branches. Should we have a policy or merging to master if no opposition for 2 months?  (Not like we'd be breaking any Production code.)

All

• No objections to merging to master a couple of items that have been sitting there for 2+ months.

authz_ro needs to reject lambdas / verbs.  Do we want to expose an API that registers a predicate for selected whitelisted functions to be more relaxed?  Or just one global argument checker?

All

• Leave the current signature to apply more restrictive checks on the argument types.
  
  

  • Don't want default implementation to be too heavy as it could create performance bottlenecks.

• Provide another function to register a whitelisted function with custom argument checker that may be more relaxed.

• UBS might be able to contribute test cases.

  • Try to get UBS participants onto Symphony chat to facilitate further discussion.

FINOS has merged the idea of "Working Group" with "Project".

All

• It's a labeling thing that will not have impact on the day to day activity of kdb+

• Call for opinions on changing or updating the project's name.

  • It was decided to keep the name as "kdb+ Project" for now.

Ways to help get the word out about kdb+ FINOS Project?

All

• Marketing materials (e.g. baseball cards) to distribute at meetups.

• Some liked the idea of keeping the group small to start.

• See if anyone in FinTech startups or kdb consulting are interested.
