Agenda Items & minutes

Department Coordinator (Marco Dings)

Talk Topics:

  1. Meeting time remains as is. There was some confusion over the purpose of the “blocked times” sheet. That sheet is intended to facilitate planning discussion outside of the regular meetings.

  2. Response to doodles and motions is poor. For motions several votes came in after the response before date. Doodles are as good as ignored. Please contribute and respond quickly, either by abstaining for a motion or marking yourself as unavailable for a doodle

  1. Tasks are a - to be added - to GLIP. We start many things/discussions and have difficulties finishing them. By adding all relevant information to a task, link to docs etc the task will be easier to track

  2. Department google drive is being reorganised so we have a “home” for all production documents

  3. Please file “Team documents” under the relevant team folder. To many documents and are lost over time, are difficult to locate or are owned by non project owners

  4. For ongoing generic discussions that are not necessary linked to a team please use the folder for “bespoke projects”

  5. All TL to provide lists of email addresses to be used in google groups for contacting and access control. Please emphasise the usage of CJO addresses. Using the group policies team members would have easier access to the respective team folders

  6. Please start considering your teams budget, as the budgeting process is to kick off

  7. Start inventory about production assets, and access and privileges to them. This would include, but is not limited to github, crowdin, servers, cpanel.
    Persons with privileges to production assets should have those as part of a team that is accountable in the PD. Upon leaving teams privileges should be revoked

  8. Production presence at JAB2020, 

  9. Discussion on release strategy going forward, there are 4 initial documents there that need refining over the next weeks. Hannes and Benjamin will talk you through the broad strokes.

Finalized Motions

PROD2020/023

Policy for Full Path Disclosure (FPD)

FPD triggered by errors/warnings/notices/deprecations within the CMS context aren't covered by the security policy, because they can be suppressed by disabling the error reporting the CMS config, which clearly is within the users sphere of influence. FPDs outside of the CMS context (i.e. files that are directly accessible because they lack a JEXEC-Check, or files triggering compile time errors) will still be covered by the policy and fixed in security releases.

PASSED

PROD2020/024

There shall be no indiscriminate closing of Issues or Pull Requests

Closing of Issues and Pull requests PR's shall NOT be done without underlying rationale and individual reasoning in the Issue or PR. Elapsing of a time period, inactivity of the submitter are examples that do NOT constitute valid reasons in and by themselves.
