As for the minutes of our meeting today, Grant joined and we discussed
the Proposal
for a Technical Decision Making Process
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LOAi3RjVeWY-QRdOjnfHCchnM8bSh_D3ug9GhnQ6Nf0/edit#>.
Specifically, we went over Scope, Transition, Resourcing, and a bit about
the Forum and Timeboxing. The next steps are to establish a more concrete
transition plan, from the current Tech Com process to the new process. And
Kate will be reaching out to team managers to begin establishing the Forum.

This is the weekly TechCom board review, usually in
preparation for our
meeting, a few days late this week because I forgot. Apologies.

Committee inbox:
- T263904 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263904>: Are traits part
of the stable interface?
- T239742 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T239742>: "Should npm
packages maintained by Wikimedia be scoped or unscoped?"
- Both have been sitting in the inbox for a month or so, Tim first
pointed this out a few weeks ago but we haven't triaged them yet.

Other RFC activity:
- T262946: <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T262946> Bump Firefox
version in basic support to 3.6 or newer
- Some agreement between Volker and Timo to keep the scope at just the
Firefox version bump and move this RFC forward. I think Volker is welcome
to move this back to P4 unless I missed some other ongoing discussion?
- T259771: <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T259771> RFC: Drop
support for database upgrade older than two LTS releases
- Discussion about upgrading from 1.16 (this humble reader says
upgrading from a version that's 10 years old should not be a priority)
