## Monday, Sep 20, 2021
**Work in Progress**

* S4 (target date: Oct 22nd)
- 3-4 batches in parallel
- lildude: new batch for instrumentation (instrumentation for consumer and API services; send them to Datadog; dashboard + alerting)
- Tim: UI: Button is displaying in enterprise and orgs settings areas; dropdown selects JSON/CSV. Might need call to S4 to determine if data is present?
- followup question: how is the relationship calculated between a logged in admin user, with enterprise admin rights, and the list of reported GHES "server IDs" they should download the CSV data for? Does this relationship get established by Connect "enterprise installations"?
- "owner ID" field is in S4, with "b" "u" prepended, Business/User (which is org)
- https://github.com/github/connected-enterprise/issues/228 helps explain
- @deleonjavier: GitHub monolith endpoint: will ship today/tomorrow, also "how to create gem"; and how to use that client
- "excluded field list": Kelly will talk through MEC in a meeting Wed to establish a decison on whether to release it
- Can search "GTM" (go to market?) customer list in our issues
- Field filtering capability will need to be in the scope of current work

* First Responder: Connect: severity 2 support escalation
- de-duping situation that isn't happen; eats up customer's licenses (license sync)
- customer email addresses have a "plus alias"; need to detect in the code that does license sync to match what's in file vs accounts in dotcom
- potentially use alternative logic to pull other email address?
- Kelly: EMUs have launched, customers are adopting, more customers coming. Prioritization should be high because a customer is blocked; offered a temporary license that customer didn't want to use; that customer is disabling Connect
- Bryan: the needed fix should be on dotcom side only (the data file from GHES already contains the needed alternative email address for the user)
- @lildude + @electroniko are tackling it

* Bryan: enable a flow to enable contributions with a GHAE/GHES instance and have them contribute back to dotcom #190
* "fork into an instance"
* previous feature in dotcom: "read only mirrors"; could maybe leverage?
* there is a possible feasibility path
* need to find who to ask about certain broader questions

* Worry about backlash and sales team shares the same concern
* Will need to get Legal's thumbsup and change terms
* We don't want to risk customers' trust
* Delivering value to customers

* What are the requirements? What's the date for those requirements?
* What's the date? How do we hit that date?
* @vanessyuenn feedback: let's get these answers by the end of the week; what's the breakdown of work and efforts and then can we limit the scope if not going to hit deadline

* Access to enterprise data: we're talking about that this week
* GitHub Connect data improvements: let's talk about this and define the work needed
