• Alternative email support discussion

  • Consensus that admin-only management of alternative emails could be a first step, with a user-facing feature in the future.
  • Noted the need for eventual general notification support (e.g., email, Slack).
  • @06kellyjac to update the issue and propose follow-up tickets.

• Discuss about the GitProxy presentation at FINOS All Community Call Q3

• Discuss about the possibility of automatic Docker image deployments

  • @jescalada and @tabathad raised the need for automated and official Docker image releases.
  • @coopernetes and @tabathad highlighted organisational support for container-based delivery and noted an open PR (feat: e2e tests using docker compose #1165) adding Dockerfile and test environment improvements.
  • Discussion covered both Docker Hub and GitHub Container Registry as publishing targets.
  • @dcoric volunteered to review the Docker-related PR due to current bandwidth constraints in the G-Research team.

• PR reviews and next release candidate

  • Extensive discussion of outstanding TypeScript conversion PRs (issues refactor: Add TypeScript support #1142, refactor: service module to TS + ESM (v2) #1166, refactor: git-proxy-cli package to TS + ESM (v2) #1180), and ongoing work on VTest refactor.
  • @06kellyjac, @jescalada, @andypols, and @dcoric to coordinate reviews and merges, prioritising unblocking dependent work (e.g., SSH features and service/CLI refactors).
  • Agreement to issue a new release candidate before merging major TypeScript changes, aiming for more granular release/testing cycles.
  • Discussed ready-to-merge PRs (e.g., binary pack file tests, Apache 2 license headers), and strategy for merging, reviewing, and releasing.
  • @kriswest agreed to roll the next release candidate after final reviews.

• AOB, Q&A & Adjourn

Minutes posted, sorry for the delay (only got access to the meeting transcript today). Please note that I can now download these via the LF project control center, but they are not easily available in the individual meeting dashboards (as it makes both the recording and transcript available and the meeting notices state that we don't distribute these).
