  • Gradle refers to external repos (JFreeChart, etc.)
    • Probably need something different to build inside the banks.
  • Someone at Morgan Stanley working on icons.
  • Rob Underwood (Deactivated) sought clarification that the icons are being developed on Morgan Stanley equipment and could be contributed under existing CCLA.
    • This appears to be the case.
  • The new contributor will be guided through the internal process to be authorized to push to GitHub.
  • Contribution of SVG-based icons would have advantages:
    • More like source code.
    • Scalable. (MacOS supports icon images up to 1024x1024.)

James McLeod (Unlicensed)
  • Pending Decision for Alvin Shih and project team: If/when Kdb project should move to new ODP Github issue format for meeting agenda/meeting minutes.
    • Benefits include:
      • Reduce context switching between Wiki / Jira.
      • Easier to link to issues.
      • James McLeod (Unlicensed) described the "Automated CLA Community Invites" feature which automatically invites people named on CCLAs to the FINOS Github Org.
      • Can assign people to teams.
  • Question was asked if existing meetings in the confluence wiki (i.e., here; these minutes are an example) would be migrated over.
    • James McLeod (Unlicensed) and Maurizio Pillitu responded that they will not and that such migration could/would risk inaccurate numbers on the metrics database.
    • If/when migration happens, all meeting minutes to date would state in the Confluence wiki.
  • Markdown has most of the basic formatting required.
    • Nested bullets, etc.
