Outstanding action points

• Migration from Travis

  • As a note Appveyor has been disabled

• Ads in documentation

  • Not high priority, we'll punt this until later.
  • We should review if this is worth pursuing regularly.
  • We still need a CEP

• Fellowship

  • Aim was to get information on procedure from Django
  • We need to make decisions about how this will be structured
    • 1/2 fellows?
    • What can we afford?
    • What is the timeline/process for terms and performance reviews

  • @xirndeh to upload meeting from Feb 27 and this one - AP: @xirndeh
  • @maybe to make a discussion to ask for any presentations team members have made and might like to put up - AP: @maybe-sybr

Project boards

• We should make two new project boards
  • One to track progress on CEPs - AP: unassigned
  • One to track action points from these meetings - AP: unassigned

Upcoming Releases Review

• Celery 5.1
  • Roughly 50% done, 20% in progress, 30% todo
  • https://github.com/orgs/celery/projects/4
  • Appears to be too early to set a date for 5.1 to land
  • We think that have 5.1 be an LTS once we manage to land it

pluggy

Jumpstarter defines workflow and actor interactions. This is the heart of celery but we also have a lot of mechanisms for extensions in Celery (custom bootsteps, etc). Pluggy may be a way for us to codify a structure for plugins for Celery as we move forward with next-gen.

• @xirndeh will write a small CEP to track this idea - AP: @xirndeh
