Host key can be found in the description of the TAG Slack channel.

Attending: Seth Shaw, Annie Oelschlager, Josh d'Entremont, Don Richards, Yamil Suarez, Amy Blau (notes)

Agenda

  • Consolidating our two ways of installing with Docker
    • Scope document that lays out what we want to do
    • Improve documentation around SITE TEMPLATE

Meeting Minutes

  • opening discussion about makeup and purpose of TAG committee
  • discussion about options and pathways for consolidating Docker installation: ISLE-DC and site template
    • different users have different experiences with the methods and different use cases, and corresponding preferences
    • Josh has made a site with ISLE-DC and is working on one using the site template, and is documenting the process to share (thus far he had more issues using ISLE-DC)
    • concern raised about losing information in the ISLE-DC makefile if there were a switch to the site template, also about leaving people in the community who rely on one method behind
    • difficulty in maintaining multiple methods to do the same thing, in maintaining customizations
    • possibility of maintaining aspects of both methods that would consolidate or streamline current options?
      • might be easier to pull aspects of ISLE-DC into site template than the other way around
      • next steps for this to compare what each method does, and consider how they might consolidate
