Decisions Made

Agenda

Time	Item	Who	Notes from the Meeting

Time	Item	Who	Notes from the Meeting
5 min	Convene & roll call.	All
5 min	Review and approve minutes from last meeting.	All	Approved by acclamation.
10 min	OSR vs FDX.	All	Rob: Clarified how OSR is separate from FDX. OSR (Open Source Readiness) is more about legal aspects and licensing - areas where lawyers and HR get involved. The FDX (FinServ Developer Experience) program is about collaboration infrastructure. The ODP (Open Developer Platform) WG under FDX focuses on communication / sharing, such as Wiki / GItHub. DX (Developer Experience) WG looks at how software is built. Jason Foster-Bey: Got access to Confluence.
5 min	kdb+ WG roadmap.	All	Sam not on the call. Saw an email notification that he successful made a small edit to the charter on the Wiki. Hoping he'll have time to put the roadmap he shared over email on the Wiki at some point.
10 min	kdb+ WG participation.	All	Alok: Will reach out internally at Citi. Yanni: Will talk to others at Nomura. Rob: Will contact AquaQ and see where they're at. Alvin: Will get a couple of hands-on kdb types at MS on the data- tech-kdb list.
10 min	Namespacing discussion.	All	Jason: Will review the email discussion and weigh in when he can. Yanni: Not a lot of namespacing happening at Nomura. Jason: At JPMC, some functions get loaded at the top level. Their module loading mechanism uses a search path. Alok: Anaconda has done a good job. See if we can borrow ideas from them. Will see if he can get a discussion going with Peter Wang, since they were presenters at the same Kx Meetup. Probably quite different from where most of us are now. That's the "long game".
10 min	Getting some code into GitHub?	All	Alvin: With the namespacing / module loading discussions still in the air, maybe easier to start with standalone tools? Will try to get qdoc HTML document tool out there. HDB consistency report might be another candidate.
5 min	AOB	All
