Standing Technical Meetups

Hi all โ€“ thanks for your patience as we sorted out the admin side of my secretarial duties. :slight_smile:

Iโ€™m linking here the notes and the recording of the meetup in January.

The discussion focused primarily on:

  • schema-level $ids โ€“ questions remain on how important these $id fields are in the short-term, and the best method to address issues highlighted around these fields in compiled schemas and in Profiles tooling.
  • the schema discrepancy RE: the relationship between organizations and services โ€“ It was determined that properly addressing this would entail a major change, but because itโ€™s not currently considered urgent, changes will instead be implemented within current documentation and tooling ahead of an upgrade to 4.0.
  • documentation priorities โ€“ in which we dedicated some time to generating a list of potential tutorials we could produce this year, including how to: generate a profile, design data partnerships, and reference HSDS in database design.

Here youโ€™ll find a draft of the proposed agenda for the next meeting on February 12th. Weโ€™re hoping to tackle some of the technical issues that have been rolled over from previous agendas, primarily normalized email objects and the serialization and ranking of contact methods (looking at you, @skyleryoung!).

Please feel free to jump in with any questions or suggestions for the agenda โ€“ otherwise, have a great week, and Iโ€™ll see you on the next one!
