Group discussions (/ "consensus documents") proposals

* Leon Timmermans (‎leont‎) - What do we want from CPAN clients (and can the current generation of them provide that).
* Leon Timmermans (‎leont‎) - What do we want from XS (and can XS provide that)...
* Leon Timmermans (‎leont‎) - Is it time to drop CPAN Meta 1.4 / META.yml? (consensus discussion)

* Salve J. Nilsen (‎sjn‎) - Needed: Fully support out-of-ecosystem requirements/deps and vendored-in deps; EU CRA-required metadata; PackageURLs; SBOM support; Overview: https://github.com/orgs/CPAN-Security/projects/1
* Salve J. Nilsen (‎sjn‎) - CPAN Meta 3.0 is needed. Would it make sense to put it in a separate directory? (e.g. like META-INF in .jar files), so there's one place for all machine-readable metadata files. Both the native ones, but also SBOMs, VEX files, CONTRIBUTING.yaml, security-insights,json, etc.
* Salve J. Nilsen (‎sjn‎) - Establishing an EU CRA Open Source Steward organization

Projects

* Paul Johnson (‎pjcj‎) - I'd like to put out a major release of Devel::Cover: faster, new features, breaking changes. It might not be get completed during PTS but hopefully much of it will. Need to look at cpancover updates and keeping compatibility with metacpan, or updating things on both ends.
* H.Merijn Brand (‎Tux‎) - continue conversion of Test::Smoke data(base) to Test2 infra-format and help tib modernizing Test::Smoke
