 ====== Accomplishments ======
 === Discussions and Research ===
-  * [placeholder]
+  * Tuesday morning - dashboard discussion
+  * Tuesday afternoon - mobile app demo / discussion; API discussion
+  * Tuesday afternoon - Outreach Meeting [[https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=outreach:meetings:2024-11-12:minutes|Minutes]]
+  * "Language isn't my first language"
+  * Wednesday morning - search / library groups discussion
+    * We could teach library groups how to be hierarchical and live within OU tree; OR allow them to be outside of the hierarchy.
+    * Shelving location groups currently do not limit by selected OU which a typical user would expect
+    * UI solution: if they select a library group / shelving location, can the OU selector go back to the top and grey out?
+    * Relevant bugs:
+      * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2060351|OPAC advanced search: selecting a shelving location group doesn't update the shelving locations]]
+      * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2032665|Angular Staff Catalog: Incorporate Shelving Location Groups in Org Unit Selector]] - priority for merge
+      * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2083043|Shelving Location Groups do not limit results to search library]]
+      * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2083039|Wishlist: Separate Search Library and Shelving Location Group in OPAC]]
+  * Wednesday afternoon - translations in point releases
+    * Consensus: translations can go in the point release AFTER the code change (e.g. bugs in 3.14.5 with string changes will have updated translations in 3.14.6)
+    * Point release teams / builders will need to have a member with PO editor access to get the translation files - Galen, Jennifer P, Jason S, Blake are PO editor admins and can grant access
+    * New tags for LP:
+      * ''i18n-string-changes'' to indicate a bug that has string changes
+      * ''i18n-unmarked'' to indicate a bug about items not marked for translations
+    * Current list of i18n bugs to be updated: [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.tag=i18n|Bugs tagged i18n]]
+  * Wednesday afternoon - git discussion
+    * What is our merge strategy? Newer versions of git require you to state this: rebase/cherry-pick vs merge.
+    * Merge interfiles via commit date; rebase / cherry-pick just puts it on top. Merge retains original commit hashes but you lose the history of where your branch has everything on top of it.
+    * Currently a lot of us use rebase / cherry-pick, and changing this without changing out dependence on gitolite & LP might create bigger problems though
+    * Is there a potential workflow solution to the problem of changed hashes?
+    * Also: every bug fix that's backported gets its own hash but this would require significant rethought of our internals.
+    * Git workflows documentation: [[https://git-scm.com/docs/gitworkflows/2.35.0]]
+    * Github is the only current realistic alternative
+    * Github supports a good PR-review workflow
+    * Github move would require:
+      * Ensuring core committers have rights to push to github repo
+      * Losing the working repo & collabs; all PRs on the main repo
+      * Integrating PO Editor with github
+      * Probably migrating from Launchpad to github Issues (not required though)
+      * Probably more rebasing of topic / bugfix branches; use of merge commits
+    * Still would need to settle merge vs cherry-pick; github does merge by default, but there are paths to use cherry-pick
+    * General consensus is stick with patch instead of merge
+    * Git tags: use these instead of branches?
+      * See patch from Jane Sandberg: [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2060734]]
+      * Currently doing this in OpenSRF but not Evergreen
+      * Only for release branches, not for main
+      * Probably best to start with the next top level release branch
+    * [[https://docs.github.com/en/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects|Github Projects]]: a way to ditch all of those spreadsheets!
+      * Question: can we use this without being fully on github? Answer: yes, but we'd need to manually create LP items if we're not using GH Issues.
+      * GH Projects is less-terrible in the accessibility sense than a lot of other tools
+  * Wednesday afternoon - Release discussion
+    * We have been better at monthly releases but it is the same several people
+    * RelTeam needs: a core committer, someone who can build, someone who can test, someone who can do notes, someone to update the website / LP tags
+    * Github & using tags instead of branches would simplify this process.
+    * Redis & 3.15 vs 4.0
+      * Would likely mean a heavier churn on OpenSRF than in the last few years
+      * OpenSRF 4.0 with Redis should go out ASAP so we can poke at it.
+      * Consensus: EG 3.15 in spring 2025 and EG 4.0 in fall 2025
+      * Release teams - [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gZayHfF7qK0zwLMEAXt-PbKBMiAM_F6EZguqzIYceBY/edit?gid=0#gid=0|Buildmaster Spreadsheet]]
+  * Thursday morning - Accessibility discussion
+    * 70% of accessibility bugs fixed
+    * 60 in OPAC for 3.14
+    * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.tag=accessibility+opac&field.tags_combinator=ALL|12 remaining bugs]]
+    * Need to audit staff catalog and client
+    * [[https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=accessibility:vpat|VPAT page on the Wiki]]
+    * [[https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=accessibility:start|Accessibility Guide for Developers]]
+    * We expect to be ready for the April 2026 accessibility deadline.
+  * Susan & Andrea updated the [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PL04fcjom0l2xuum_Do-w04asn-ifAEHwuBY6yWIESQ/edit?usp=sharing|Great Angular Circ Spreadsheet]] to account for additions to the experimental Angular Circ interfaces in 3.14.
