Minutes

Notes and or transcript of the call with presentation, document, GitHub links and calls to action.

• There is a tension between wanting to be slower with releases and focus on what is happening today, versus a desire to support more modes and future features.
• Some providers, third parties, and cities have not upgraded for various reasons.
• Europe seems to be leapfrogging since they are sometimes just getting started with MDS: 1.0.0, Agency, Policy is being used organically.
• Even though release pace is slowing, the releases are more complex
• Minor release still have complexity - non-breaking does not mean non-trivial.
