Role of the AC

• Recent postings by Ed Merks on cross-projects ignited some architecture related (online) discussions
  • Why don't we have such discussions on the AC Calls ?
  • Committers don't know an AC exists
• Maybe a 2-day F2F meeting is overdue, to come up with 10 or 20 concrete recommendations that projects should do
  • Pascal suggests a Form for committers to ask "How do I..." kind of questions
  • Doug: The new Mattermost initiative has great potential hooking folks together
• Martin: Recommendations make sense where an issue hurts?
• AI Martin send link to the previous top 10 recommendations
