Reminder:  Please copy/paste the Zoom chat into the notes.  If you miss it, this is saved along with the meeting recording, but having it here has benefits.

Notes:

• Clarifying major severity code smell
  
  • Sonar doesn't use the word major any more, we should use one of the terms in Sonar
  • Change to 'issues' to covered the things Sonar has consolidated
    • Some former smells are now in issues and not in hotspots
  • This represents a slightly higher bar
  • Change will need to be communicated
  • In theory this new standard should also be applied to existing modules
  • Ready to merge
• Expand criteria for consuming APIs
  • Should the criteria be divided into front and back end?
  • Chose to go with the split route
  • Ready to merge
• Use ASF 3rd Party License Policy for module evaluation
  • Categorizes into yes, no, maybe. In maybe you have to give acknowledgment. Simplest way to do this would be in the readmes of the modules. Would be a new request of the teams.
  • Making the tooling for the steps clearer and share with reviewers and dev teams
  • For now get links and list set up, tooling can get added in another PR
  • Ready to merge
• Static code analysis
  • Not ready to merge. Could close until topic resurfaces. Closing may be simpler and then next time have a more cleanly scoped discussion.
  • Closing. Subgroup is still on the list if people want to revive it.
• Jira statuses
  
  • Jenn Colt add diagram and ask for approvals
• Fix broken links on environment variables
• Merge eval form into eval criteria
  • Consolidate everything into criteria document, add checkboxes
  • Need to merge this one last to avoid conflicts
• Julian Ladisch will take on doing the merging
• Serials management
  • Talking to team
