Minutes

1. We have been using Guava, but now Java8 provides us with a lot of the same functionality without external libraries. So, should we refactor?
   1. Pros: Less code. Less external library dependencies.
   2. Cons: Stream and iterator are not the same thing.

   3. Not a full find and replace.

   4. Consensus: Use stream where it is appropriate. Use iterator where it is appropriate.

   5. Meta-discussion about priorities and focus

   • Action: Andrew Woods to restructure priorities and focuses in JIRA to represent the project vision [as Andrew Woods described it earlier in this call].
2. Discussion about Fedora's versioning scheme
   1. Should we move to normal sematic versioning?
   2. Should we have LTS releases, or terms of support for each release?
   3. If we abandon the 'Product version' in our versioning policy, how do we handle messaging and marketing – communication?
   4. No general consensus on moving from status quo.
3. We should do some house keeping!
   1. Keep an eye on GitHub notifications to see if you have pinged.
4. Please attend the meeting if you can.
