// Second Monday of every month

FINOS Project leads are responsible for observing the FINOS guidelines for running project meetings. Project maintainers can find additional resources in the FINOS Maintainers Cheatsheet.
All participants in FINOS project meetings are subject to the LF Antitrust Policy, the FINOS Community Code of Conduct and all other FINOS policies.
FINOS meetings involve participation by industry competitors, and it is the intention of FINOS and the Linux Foundation to conduct all of its activities in accordance with applicable antitrust and competition laws. It is therefore extremely important that attendees adhere to meeting agendas, and be aware of, and not participate in, any activities that are prohibited under applicable US state, federal or foreign antitrust and competition laws. Please contact legal@finos.org with any questions.
FINOS project meetings may be recorded for use solely by the FINOS team for administration purposes. In very limited instances, and with explicit approval, recordings may be made more widely available.

- Naive approach is to use par.txt to bring together HDBs using separate symfiles.
- .Q.bv doesn't work with linked columns.
- .Q.lo maybe useful?

- Enhance it to detect case if it's mapping way too many files to be a conventional HDB?
  - Heard of cases where someone accidentally tries to load the path one level up from the HDB causing the NFS server to crash.
