## Discussed Topics

### release
no notable issues atm

### socials
we want to be respectful but we want to get the word out everywhere possible about nushell

### other
we need to come back around to nupm/package managers - Doug's [nubrew](https://github.com/nubrew/nubrew)

### DCO

reduces our liability. kind of a pain because every commit needs to have --sign-off. https://www.secondstate.io/articles/dco/ We should continue to discuss this because it is good to limit our liability. there may be some other thing like zed uses too.

### Jack's external completer thing

Jack had some ideas about working on a shim between external completers and nushell. he's going to work on something to try and allow a separate step to look in folders for *.nu files that will participate in completions.

### core-team-alumni

team agreed that what i proposed in core-team is good to more forward with. Maybe change name to `core-team-lite` :)

Darren's note from core-team
I'm planning to make a hard-fast rule that states something like the following, "If you're on the core-team but have no contributions to any of our repos or discord for X-months, you'll be moved to core-team-alumni but still be able to participate in the core-team channel."

I've thought about it a lot and a hard rule with X amount of time listed is probably best so that everyone knows expectations.

Now we just need to:
agree on it
1. figure out what X is (i'm thinking 3 months)
2. create a script that looks at a list of core-team members and checks their last PR/commit/issue response
3. figure out how discord can allow alumni in core-team without being core-team
4. move people to alumni in github
5. be clear that if you're contributing, you're welcome back any time on core-team

### Jan9103

jan gave us a good-bye message. they are prioritizing their mental health and won't be on discord any longer. Sad to see you go Jan. You've been a great "Helpful Hero" for nushell. You're welcome back when/if you choose.
