- Regular weekly doc sprints sessions [@liz-acosta]
- [Agenda](https://hackmd.io/Tex0egW4R96EWmS7zRIHtg)
- Review and edit documentation for server side filters [liz/AJ] For more context:
- https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/issues/6874
- Kapil working on getting CI down under 2 minutes.
- We're sitting at around ~10m now
- Will unify the matrix for Mac/Linux/Windows
- Outlier: Should move docker build to be async, we should not build it unless there's been a change to the docker image.
- Outlier: Doc builds too, need to look at an update into Sphinx, generally that hasn't helped. Upstream has been great responding to our issues when we report them.
- [Documentation .html differs from .rst source #6890](https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/issues/6890) - fixed
- We need ARM64 support for graviton and co.
- Star/comment [here](https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/issues/6102) if it's important to you so we can incorporate feedback
- Should we sign the docker images while we're at it?
- Docker's notary v1 tied to the registry it's on
- v2 has been in progress
- SIG Store's cosign - usable, simple, just don't built into our workflow and the signature is a sidecar, so we can bring it with us when the image moves.
- Lots of moving parts, providers, we don't want to add complexity/security surface without a good security review/time invested.
- Some challenges related to AWS credentials in GitHub Actions are being addressed via [OIDC federation](https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/249)
- Nightly functional builds not available to the wider community, but that exposes cloud account in the build logs.
- Finding the right prioritization is the main question, moving to poetry has helped us do additional validation for our supply chain security via sha-265 checksums, so if we got a malicious package via pypi in our CI we would be ok.
- CNCF EasyCLA bot: Kapil: UX not well suited to our purpose, consider switching to [CLAbot](https://github.com/cla-assistant/cla-assistant) or switch to DCO.
- Jorge joined channel in CNCF, going to actively engage with other maintainers
- [New Events page with calendar](https://cloudcustodian.io)
- :new: Make-gitter-easier [@castrojo]
- New element release, kicking the tyres
- :new: Documentation for server-side filters
- [@liz-acosta] spoke with AJ for further clarification
- Think it would be good to tackle in this week's Doc Sprint
- For reference: In [Issue #6874](https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian/issues/6874) it was noted that it may be helpful to document policy `query` block/server-side filters. However, c7n does not support server-side filters for _all_ resources, so a primary consideration for documentating them is how to do so without adding confusion/misunderstanding, how to make documentation the _most_ useful.
