All	Rob : Google group, finos-data-tech no longer requires an invite. Interested parties can join on demand.

All	Sam : Said he's fine with releasing the "q coding guidelines". People can submit pull requests to make changes or kick off discussions on the mail group. All : Group was in favour of JavaDoc style for internal documentation standard over anything more obscure. Sam : Noted that RFCs have well-defined semantics around words like, "should", "recommend", "may", "optional", etc. Suggested we codify such conventions in a "meta document" / "standards for our standards".
15 min	AOB	All	Sam : Would like kdb+ WG to reach 10 regular attendees. Alok : Curious if Kx has someone in a "community development" role who'd like to run the WG meetings. Alvin : Hoping FINOS will add some kind of collaborative document editing to The Platform. Alvin : Rob made an e-introduction to someone at RedHat who's in contact with Anaconda. I sent an email asking if they know who deals with packaging of Kx artifacts, but didn't hear back.
