## Attendees

- Magnus Bäck, Axis
- Emil Bäckmark, Ericsson
- Martin Lundberg, Ericsson
- Panagiotis Efstratiou, Ericsson
- Sven Selberg, Axis
- David Åkerman, Axis

## Topic

* When to send these events and from where?
    * Gerrit plugin?
    * Jenkins plugin?
    * Stand-alone SCM web hook listener?
* Why do we send SCM events?
    * Trigger pipelines?
    * Visualize SCM/Git activities?
    * Replace the need to ask Git about the Git tree?
* Focus on "Git events" or "SCM events"?
* If and how should we move on with [github.com/eiffel-community/eiffel#261](https://github.com/eiffel-community/eiffel/issues/261)?
* We currently don't have a way of representing source code tags ([github.com/eiffel-community/eiffel#219](https://github.com/eiffel-community/eiffel/issues/219)). Can we even address this before concluding issue 261?

## Discussion

- Home work:
    - Visualize branch creation.
    - ditto merge if necessary submit strategy.
    - Should the change/PR itself be a separate entity rather than being implicitly specified by the SourceDefinitionChangeRequestCreated.
