• Discussed a return to the previous meeting schedule, particularly exchanging Monday for Wednesday. We reviewed attendance levels on both days, and there's an agreement to keep the schedule as it is for now. Jeremy notes his availability is now open on Wednesdays, but the consensus is to maintain the current schedule. Overall, we acknowledge that we revisited the topic as planned, and the decision is to keep the meetings unchanged.

Quick updates only.  If we can't find volunteers for groups, we'll need to add the topic to our backlog and address it during dedicated discussion sessions.

• Distributed vs Centralized Configuration: No updates. Held off until 08 Jan 2024 
• Communicating Breaking Changes: No updates. Held off until 08 Jan 2024 

• Translation/Multilingual Support Subgroup: Craig McNally  mentioned that he had brought up the issue during a chairs meeting, because the intent was to pursue it only if both the other councils were on board.

  • Agreed not to delve into technical details unless CC and PC expressed interest.

  • Decided to postpone further discussions until January, with plans to revisit and possibly get a status update during the next chairs meeting. 

• TCR Process Improvements: Maccabee Levine  provided a brief update, noting that the next meeting is scheduled for 08 Jan 2024 , and they can expect an update around 15 Jan 2024. He mentioned progress in addressing feedback from Matt Weaver  and the completion of draft pull requests. One substantive point highlighted was the discussion on whether there should be a TCR process for an already accepted module. The consensus from the TC was not to create a process at the moment, considering ongoing formalization conversations. However, the goal is to ensure that existing modules adhere to the same values and criteria as new modules, with details to be worked out in the future.

RFC Process Improvements:

• We need another RFC to update the metadata retroactively to reflect the new or adjusted statuses.
  • Any volunteers?

Notes:

From slack last Wednesday 13 Dec 2023 :

At today's meeting we discussed the communication plan for the postgres/quesnelia decision we made on Monday.  Please take a look at the draft message in the notes (2023-12-13 - Comms for Quesnelia Postgres) ahead of next Monday's meeting.  If you have any comments/suggestions please leave them inline right on the wiki page.  The plan is to finalize the messaging at our next meeting and get it out by EOD 12/18.

Draft message:

• PostgreSQL 12 will hit EOL as of November 14, 2024 and FOLIO needs to transition to a current version, PostgreSQL 16. The Quesnelia will be a transition release which must run under both PostgreSQL 12 and PostgreSQL 16, this will allow deployed environments to transition.
• It is imperative that, when deployed environments switch from PostgreSQL 12 to PostgreSQL 16, nothing breaks due to this update.
• For Quesnelia, modules should be constrained to PostgreSQL 12 features which are forward-compatible (not broken by) PostgreSQL 16.
• Making this transition will have implications across the technical side of the project, and the The Technical Council will collaborate with affected audiences / stakeholders to assess any impact and potential implementation issues.

List of communication channels to share this message in:

• #development
• #sys-ops
• #devops
• #folio-product-council
• #folio-community-council
• #tech-council
• #releases - at-mention Yogesh/Oleksii P.
• #folio-implementers
• #product_owners (private)

Standing agenda item... is there anything in the decision log requiring attention?

• No updates; no new items

Standing agenda item to review/discuss any requested or required changes to officially supported technology lists

• Check in on progress... does anything else require attention?

• React ^18.2 is correct (Zak Burke)
• Zak Burke will check RTL support for React 18
• Cypress ^9.1.1: Talk to the people who use it and find out what they would like to do
• Update Grails from 5 to 6:
  • Craig McNally: I would rather make the statement that we need to go to 6; otherwise, the longer we wait and deliberate and evaluate and so forth that means it's less time for developers to do the actual work.
  • Marc Johnson: 100% completely agree

Moved to the next meeting:

:

• Postgres 13 → Quesnelia 
• Grails 6 → Quesnelia

• Attempt to move Quesnelia from DRAFT → ACCEPTED → ACTIVE since the relevant milestones have already passed.
