Meeting Notes

• Dillon D. to join next SLIM TSC and present on CI/CD & metrics work he's been doing
• Greater emphasis in FY'24 on security scans for OSS projects - how can SLIM help?
  • Existing ticket progress on A&A to follow-up on
    • Action: include relevant people on this ticket thread
  • We have existing guides that would be helpful to infuse further with projects
  • Can we recommend a "checklist" for various application-development scenarios?
• For all new SLIM guides, please use the latest version of our in-progress template
• Current Unity leaderboard:
  • Feedback: For other leaderboards, could potentially have checks be grouped instead of having each specific SLIM check
• Multiple copies of SLIM artifacts
  • Feedback: consider having a canonical location and dependencies that "update" to the version
  • Feedback: should we version control each one of our artifacts?
  • Action: make ticket to address ideas on this ticket
• Recommendation: all TSC members should have a DCO in place for SLIM (or other repos!)
  • https://nasa-ammos.github.io/slim/docs/guides/governance/contributions/developer-certificate-origin/
  • Doing so helps streamline contributions from outside parties to projects (similar to contribution license agreements)
