* Should we evaluate Eiffel against the [OpenSSF Security Scorecard](https://github.com/ossf/scorecard) and/or the [OpenSSF Best Practices](https://www.bestpractices.dev/en)?
* Should we enable Code scanning for all repos. See https://github.com/eiffel-community/eiffel-remrem-publish/security/code-scanning for an example.
* Set via https://github.com/eiffel-community/eiffel-remrem-publish/settings/security_analysis
* Workflow example: https://github.com/eiffel-community/eiffel-remrem-publish/blob/master/.github/workflows/codeql.yml
* We need to understand how code scanning works before we enable it globally. Do we need a workflow similar to the codeql.yml above for things to work or is it enough to just click Enable in the repo (or global) settings?
* (2024-02-21): You can set it up globaly - https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/enabling-code-scanning/configuring-default-setup-for-code-scanning-at-scale#eligible-repositories-for-codeql-default-setup
* When/if decided: Enable all code scanning, Dependabot, secret scanning etc globally from the organization and send email to the mailing list about this change.
* [OpenPubkey](https://www.bastionzero.com/openpubkey) for public key distribution
* How do we document the process for adding external repos to the community?
* What responsiblities does the Community /TC have for external repos?
* Should the TC enforce maintainer rules on external repos?
* Should we take another look at [eventcatalog](https://www.eventcatalog.dev/), see also [example](https://app.eventcatalog.dev/visualiser/?type=all&name=AllEventsAndServices)
* Was previously raised on [TC 2023-01-26](https://github.com/eiffel-community/community/blob/master/meetings/MEETINGS_TC_2023.md#agenda-and-notes-24)
* Gap analysis - CDEvents vs Eiffel. To help CDEvents reach 1.0 we should provide our input on the gap
* [JSON schema to validate PURLs](https://github.com/package-url/purl-spec/pull/514)
* Demo of GitHub app (ETOS workflow)
