Meeting Notes

• Multiple copies of SLIM artifacts
  • Feedback: keep a versioning tag that indicates the version and the "authoritative" copy
  • Feedback: keep it "DRY" - have a single repository with the main copy and have other repositories use the main artifact via modules
  • Question: what happens when end-user projects customize content and there's a new version?
    • Potentially the dependabot method
    • Notifying projects via automated tickets
