Cory and Steve touching base on funding and projects. It got into a discussion between Steve and I on our current model and defining things more tightly. Basically, making some of the verbal discussions more official and permanent. This will help all parties involved. Cory and I will work on a plan and get it back to Steve for review. After that, Cory was going over questions and projects that she had on her list.

We really want to get the sales tax aggregate project launched and merged into master. Currently, it is somewhat in a stalemate on a separate branch right now. Cory texted Eric and he joined the meeting for a bit. Small conversations about some plans. The main holdup right now is how to deploy the new code on all servers and also on the developer testing environments? The new code requires some higher database level permissions and access grants. This gets into a conflict between automation and security. We don't want a super enabled database user on the system but we still need to get some things done.

Merged in some new labels for Danny, Cory, and a client. After that, we briefly talked with Steve and Cory about the gift cards and special accounts stuff. We are running into some bottlenecks and how to get around those pieces. Some deals with talent, code, and permissions.

John showed Steve some of the Jira boards and then talking about some of the current sprints and using/allocating the correct resources. As a side note, we are getting pressure from some of our 3rd party solutions to do upgrades and required maintenance. John was also expressing his opinions on some current processes and executive decisions. We talked a lot about extra costs and budgeting.

Wayne and John are really wanting us to move away from Adobe ColdFusion and Hostek (as the hosting company) and move towards Lucee (opensource ColdFusion engine) and AWS for hosting. That is still just talk, but on the radar. Just talking numbers, savings, and possibilities. Eventually it comes down to decisions and then communications to keep all of us on the same page.
