2021-08-26 Meeting notes

Will reschedule for a future meeting.

How to deal with external code submissions.  We don't have a process with expectations for the contributor and the project.  A group is forming to own this process; they have a good initial draft and are attempting to have something in place to get the LDP app included in Kiwi.

How to deal with storage of objects.  Putting them in Postgres is not a good option.  TC has selected on the industry-standard S3 API for storing these objects for tenants.  This standard is no longer specific to AWS—there are other implementations that can be used.
