"Studio for kdb+" updates.

All

  • 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.)

FINOS Open Developer Platform

Feature Update

  • Meeting Minutes Using GitHub Issues

  • FINOS Metrics Reporting

  • Automated CLA Community Invites

@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.
