DMLT Meeting Goals

• Weekly meeting to keep the DM leadership team coordinated, informed, and in agreement on the vision, priorities, and challenges facing DM construction, including surfacing and resolving issues and ambiguities needing our attention. The goal of this meeting is to provide information and decisions that help each one of us better direct our own (or our team's) activities.

Discussion Items

Guidelines: Propose items in line with the meeting rationale (see above); include as much information in the agenda notes; summarize, don't go into details while on the call; maximize time available for discussion. 

Postponed for subsequent DMLT / proposed for future DMLT:

Time	Item	Who	Notes
	Overdue RFCs	Kian-Tat Lim	RFCs with "Planned end" past "now"
5min	DM source code license policy	Mario Juric	Proposal is to move to the BSD license, in line Jim Bosch's proposal in DM-5031 - Enable external code contributions To Do and the series of comments that followed. Postponed: no time to discuss
	Status of unhandled work/technical debt.		Following discussion at the May DMLT, Jim Bosch filed tickets describing some technical debt issues. There may be other work in danger of falling through cracks: Jim is probably not infallible. Identifying and assigning this work is necessary for producing resource loaded plans.
