Working Group Updates

• Architecture as Code: @rocketstack-matt
  • build out of docs for the CALM manifest has begun, currently hosted on GH Pages.
  • @karlmoll keen to look at how AasC could help drive data capture for Sustainability initiatives. More to come based on FINOS priorities.
• Backstage: @karlmoll
  • Discussions under way to look at a live hosted instance under FINOS with a view to provide a joined up experience across FINOS projects.
  • Cristophe Fargette will be joining the 2/19 call,
• Updates for OSSSCRM / ACD not available.

Additional Discussion

• Natwest OSPO looking at how to engage with the DevOps Automation working groups, more to come.
• @mcleo-d highlighted this discussion on use of GitLab - https://github.com/finos/community/issues/301
  • Potential issues of bifurcation of projects communities, but is this outweighed by the likely enlarged engagement from GitLab focused orgs.
  • Would potential issues be at least lessened through syncing of projects between GH/GL enabling folks to discover projects, but with the 'primary' source being the only method to contribute.
