5 minReview and approve minutes from last meeting.AllMeeting minutes for 7/1 meeting were approved. 
15 minCode 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.
10 minauthz_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.
5 minFeedback on "include" and "InitHook"?All
  • A couple of callers said they'd try to take a look.
