### Discussion Topics
_(Something you'd like to share/ask? add it here!👇)_
* Hashicorp licensing update and recommendations [Joao] -
* [Linked Issue](https://github.com/carvel-dev/terraform-provider-carvel/issues/35)
* Due to changes made by Hashicorp to the license of some of their products, I would like to provide some recommendations to the Reviews/approvers of all the tools so they do not impact Carvel.
* If a dependabot PR bumps any Hashicorp libraries, we should not merge it. (We can discuss maybe bumping some of these libraries in the future if we are sure that no changes will happen on their licenses.)
* If a PR unrelated to Hashicorp bumps some Hashicorp library, check if the version of the Hashicorp library is the Apache License, and if it is, we can go ahead and merge the PR.
* If a PR unrelated to Hashicorp bumps some Hashicorp library, check if the version of the Hashicorp library is the Apache License, and if it is NOT, the PR should NOT be merged. We should bring this up in the community meeting to see if any mitigation factor can be done or if we should move to a different library.
* Every PR that bumps dependencies in kapp-controller, especially sops and helm, should be vetted using the above. steps
* [Neil] Is there a GitHub action to scan libraries in PRs for license violations rather than relying on human eyes?
* [Abbie] Lets talk docs! Discussion of current status, pain points, and improvements for the docs
* I put together a doc with some suggestions, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l5DQvPAU0VzI6NYh6wHjU0_ORuhbaf2qicwpyY3A3lU/edit, based on [CNCF tech docs eval process](https://github.com/cncf/techdocs/blob/main/assessments/criteria.md)

### Status Updates / What's Being Worked On Since Last Meeting
* [Project Roadmap](https://github.com/carvel-dev/carvel/blob/develop/ROADMAP.md)
* `ytt` [Support emitting comments in resulting YAML](https://github.com/carvel-dev/ytt/issues/63)
* Voting Results
* Summary of Poll:
* From all the feedback that we have collected so far about this issue, we can split the problems that the users are facing into the following two problem statements:
* **Emit YAML comments from YAML templates** - Configuration Authors want ytt to provide a facility to safely emit YAML comments from YAML templates. These are mainly used by the authors to add context to YAML configuration files. These comments work as a reference for the configuration consumers who may need to read and understand the configurations to make changes as per their requirements.
* **Generate ytt with ytt** - Configuration Authors also want to generate ytt with ytt. In other words, they want to automate building ytt templates, primarily having the ability to make it possible to produce a yaml file that can be used as a template for further processing.
* Voting Options:
:one: Emit YAML comments from YAML templates is very important to have
:two: Generate ytt with ytt is very important to have
:three: Both are equally important for the work I do
:four: Neither are important or necessary for the work I do with ytt (edited)
* :one: Received a total of 10 votes: 1 from external community and 9 from internal
* :two: Received a total of 5 votes: 5 from external commuity and 0 from internal
* :three: Received a total of 5 votes: 1 from external commuity and 4 from internal
* :four: Received a total of 4 votes: 3 from external commuity and 1 from internal

* Lots to flesh out and that is what's next !
* [Backlog](https://github.com/orgs/carvel-dev/projects/1)

### Discussion Topics
_(Something you'd like to share/ask? add it here!👇)_
* Fritz: not pulling charts freuently for stable versions, caching?
* https://github.com/carvel-dev/vendir/issues/274
* https://github.com/carvel-dev/vendir/issues/278
* https://github.com/carvel-dev/vendir/pull/279
* **Next Steps:** Create proposal within 1 week; team will discuss at next community meeting on August 23.
* Process: https://github.com/carvel-dev/carvel/tree/develop/proposals
* Proposal Example: https://github.com/carvel-dev/carvel/blob/c139081b39b3ea2b00292986c6a9b3f32615253f/proposals/carvel/002-artifact-signatures/README.md

* Thomas. While trying to identify all artifacts produced by the different Carvel projects, I bumped into this container image. Is the project maintaned? Do we need to include it in the signature proposal? https://github.com/carvel-dev/docker-image
* Thomas. I noticed that some Carvel tools are released for Windows ARM64 (kbld, ytt) whereas others are not (imgpkg, kapp, kctrl, vendir). Is there a reason for that? Should all tools publish binaries for Windows ARM64?

* kapp-controller
* Working with Usman Malik to get throught the finish line the [PR](https://github.com/carvel-dev/kapp-controller/pull/1259) that allows users to configure a default syncPeriod for PackageInstalls globally
* kapp PR
* https://github.com/carvel-dev/kapp/pull/760
* Carvel CLI Tools security vulnerabilities
* To reduce the likelihood of externally known security vulnerabilities affecting our tools we are actively triage such CVEs and we resolve them with the available fixes.

* See through PR for persisting custom images lock file
* https://github.com/carvel-dev/kapp-controller/pull/963
* Explore how we can allow users to use a lock file for manual iterations

### Discussion Topics
_(Something you'd like to share/ask? add it here!👇)_
* For the feature request in ytt - [Support emitting comments in resulting YAML](https://github.com/carvel-dev/ytt/issues/63), we have raised a [Pull Request](https://github.com/carvel-dev/carvel/pull/657) with the proposal. Please read and add your comments/questions before the meeting below:
* Upon further exploration we realized there were two different problems happening. Want to understand from the community, which of the two problems stated is most needed? (joao)
* Scott: for me personally it would be ytt comments; having the ability to template out ytt with ytt would make things a lot more reproduceable and better. There may be more people that would benefit from YAML comments, however. The amount of use by ytt would be higher used with smaller group of people. YAML comments would be used by higher amount of people but less often.
* Renu: that was our understanding also; the 2nd problem looks more complicated than we anticipated, do not see a clear path forward on 2nd one.
* Some split in the community to clone ytt to make it compatible with yaml 3
* Is ytt really supposed to generate ytt code? (Joao)
* If you need runtime templating then how do you generate that? That's where things get more complex (Scott) With ytt I can generate kustomize, it's much more limited than ytt is
* Outside cartographer, I haven't found myself needing that functionality (Thomas)
* Can you provide concrete examples that would be helpful (Joao)
* YAML v3 has much more complaints from community, fork it, fix complaints all the community wants fixed (Scott)
* Varsha: 2nd option on proposal - See pros and cons in proposal for details
* [Soumik] - This is something to look forward to: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/yaml/pull/76
* Final Thoughts: joao - steps forward: we do not have a consensus on this. We need to split problems on requests. Comments part - personally. I'd like to see from community if they really want this because amount of work is going to be a big chunk of work. We really need to have a big 'yes we need this from the community' to proceed forward and dedicate the amount of work and time.
* someone in community interested or has a suggestion on how to do this?
* Most important right now is to know if this what the community really wants/needs.
* Documentation and onboarding complexities
* Identify Project for LFX Mentorship program
* Which issue could be used as project
* Benfits the mentee to learn
* Not too complex or too simple, 3 months time frame
* Benefits the commmunity
* Mentor volunteers
* Renu
* Soumik
* ?
* Project plan voluteer
* Renu
* Baking in Kyverno policies into Packages
