Agenda details/Meeting summary

 * This section equates to the "meeting summary" section in the meeting note template. It's collaboratively edited during the meeting and serves as the official public notes of the meeting.  Attendees: Fill in the important details in this section, but try to keep this concise and NPOV (easy way: use questions).  Put any prep information in this section if appropriate

 * Action items
 * Last week
 * Gabriel: follow up on T102476 - RFC: Requirements for change propagation (in progress)

20 minutes (starting 21:10 UTC)

Spent most of meeting discussing Architecture committee/Status. Next week: T124569 RFC: Data namespace blob storage on wikidata.org
 * Who is chairing the upcoming IRC meeting? RobLa is chairing
 * Service orchestration as topic for today?  Don’t want to spend the whole meeting talking about it, but maybe 10 minutes.  Third party?  Memory consumption?  Scaling?
 * SOA RFC?
 * Conclude last week's "final comment period"? Do we have anything that should enter "final comment"?  Nope
 * Do we have a robust queue of RFCs to discuss at future IRC discussions?
 * For each upcoming meeting, do we anticipate the RFC moving into "final comment"?
 * How does ArchCom-RfCs board look?
 * Inbox:
 * T124569 RFC: Data namespace blob storage on wikidata.org
 * See also T134426, and Yuri's 2016-06-04 email to wikitech-l
 * What is the most important thing each ArchCom member is shepherding? Anything blocked? Are responsibilities balanced well?
 * Brion
 * T107595 Multi-content revisions is interesting, needed for various things in multimedia land
 * Meeting happened earlier this week; notes are on the ticket
 * T66214 - predictable thumb URLs
 * Break this out into:
 * Define set of core & extensible media file options for Handler extensions
 * Predictable thumb URLs
 * Improve InstantCommons perf by reducing need to run thumbnail URL lookups
 * Iframe-based rich media embedding for InstantCommons
 * plan to write up new RfCs for:
 * In-browser SVG rendering (pick up existing bug & mailing list notes)
 * iframe+CSP-isolated JS widgets for rich content
 * & extend that to InstantCommons via embedding
 * iframe+CSP-isolated JS gadgets for UI plugins
 * Build these out from ideas from hackathon project T131436

 * Testing Conpherence use for means of piloting ArchCom working groups. Still using Phab:Z425 as asynchronous ArchCom-RFC triage channel. A Security/ArchCom quasi-working group discusses some issues in Phab:Z411. I started renaming "subteams" to "working groups" on Requests for comment/Governance (with Nemo's help).
