# 2021-10-14 Eiffel event workshop

The purpose of this workshop is to have a face-to-face discussion of Eiffel issues whose discussions have stalled or maybe never started. Example outcomes for each issue:

- Consensus that the proposed change is good. Assign someone to send a PR.
- General approval but details need to be hashed out outside the meeting. Assign someone to drive that discussion.
- Reject the issue. Assign someone to provide a motivation.

## Attendees

- Emil Bäckmark
- Magnus Bäck
- Mattias Linnér
- Tobias Persson
- Bruce Wen
- Kenneth Wei-Kiat Lam
- Martin Kitchen
- Erik Sternerson

## Agenda
Linking activity events to each other
- https://github.com/eiffel-community/eiffel/issues/227
- We decided (at least preliminary, it is not in any merged protocol PR yet) on a name of a new link type - PRECURSOR
- To be used between ActT events, to describe the linear/temporal relationships between activities within a non-event driven pipeline

### Actions
- Emil: Upload the ppt to some public location

### Issues discussed

| Item | Action |
| ---- | ------ |
| [Better linking from ActT to SCC/SCS](https://github.com/eiffel-community/eiffel/issues/246) | Comment from [the last workshop](https://hackmd.io/WnhRdLZjRiyNFNHa3exvjw): "Tobias to consider which events should have a RETRIGGER link." Are we otherwise ready to move ahead with this one? <p> Not quite, apparently. It's not clear whether a new link type is needed. Since this is tangentially related to the next item we decided to deal with that one first. |
| [How to use CAUSE/CONTEXT in a non-event-driven pipeline?](https://github.com/eiffel-community/eiffel/issues/227) | Long and fruitful discussion. Summary posted in the issue. |
