Wayne had both Alan and I on the meeting. John, Steve, and Cory were also there but mostly on mute in the background. Wayne was doing an explanation and virtual show and tell on what was going on with some of the Application.cfc changes. We talked about all kinds of subjects and topics. Here are some of my notes:

- Our current settings need to keep moving more into models, services, and objects.

- Cfc's, in ColdFusion, are like classes in other languages.

- Lots of time going over onRequest actions and setting global variables. Lots of root path stuff to help with navigation from any folder, any server, and any sub directory (tons of path stuff).

- Talking about includes and possible copy and paste errors.

- We worked on a small bug fix together. Cory brought it up, Wayne coded it, and Alan help do some research and offered guidance.

- We went over a bunch of functions, private, global, and even page level functions. We started out wide on the global defaults and then went deeper into the page level values and defaults.

- Towards the end, Wayne and John were pushing up some of their new changes. I was watching them log into the other servers and do a git deploy and some of the other scripts behind the scenes that I do get to see very often.

The meeting switched and Eric joined us. We were watching Wayne and Eric talk about some super deep admin SQL (database code) and some custom scripts that they were working on. We got pretty deep into grants, permissions, special functions, triggers, and stored procedures. Alan joined in and all three of the guys were talking about some deep meta data level stuff and options for their functions, tables, and backend routines. Definitely an database admin level discussion. Steve and others were still listening in, but they were mostly lost.

We got into some discussions on checking dependencies and what relies on what (levels and structure). The guys were talking about stored procedures and even comparing code between different branches to make sure that they had the latest and greatest code. Eventually the discussion got into other value-added services and how to monetize some of the tweaks and changes that we are making. Often the developers or server admin guys just try to make things work. We were talking about different ways of structuring stuff so that it could pay for itself by passing on the costs to our customers, for those who want specific features and functions.

The next subject was dealing with corp objects and how does this play into cross corp and cross server updates and changes. They were even talking about options and how to store data, store session values, and application scope values to be able to mix and match users to servers and users to corps. Lots of stuff already exists and we can already do a bunch of this, but it is only getting deeper and deeper. Stuff like sharing session scopes, custom database storage, accessing stored objects, being able do single login and then flipping between corps, servers, domains, and applications. Deeper, almost universe level stuff.

Alan and Wayne were talking about new properties and being able to modify some of the models, services, and objects. They were making some plans and talking through some options. I know a bit of code, but getting Wayne, Alan, and Eric talking about things got pretty deep. My job was pitching the vison and hoping to keep them going on those pieces. They honestly were over my head a bit today.

Towards the end of this meeting, the guys were going over some other Docker and Percona MySQL database issues that they had talked about before. Giving each other some updates and setting up some new tasks and to do lists. I'm really glad that we have a team that can figure some of this stuff out. I know that I couldn't do it alone. I'm super grateful for the other team members and what they bring to the table. One of the end goals is having and using better and better coding practices. We are all trying for that.

All of the other guys left, and Steve and I stayed on for a few minutes talking about scalability and direction. We have a lot of other things cooking and going on. We also spent some time talking about marketing, sales, and even creating some pricing flyers dealing with the core level to enterprise levels of what we have and what we are building. We will try to get Sean, Marisa, Chuck, and Danny in on putting those pieces together. Here is a quick overview of the different levels.

1. Standard Adilas Core
2. Industry Specific Skins and Features
3. Custom Code, Flow, Data, and Interfaces
4. BI - Business Intelligence Dashboards - Aggregates
5. Enterprise level(s) - Multi Corp or Multi World
