further discussion.  If you would like to join this meeting, you can

* DMARC is preventing some mails from being received correctly.
- workaround: use your Apache address to avoid any DMARC issues
- for users without an Apache address, we have reached out to Apache
infra to opt-in some early tweaks for better handling.

* Reminder: we have an outstanding vote for the grails publish version
/ branch change

* 7.0.0-RC Issue Recap
- sitemesh3 isn't working
- Grails 7 had a "close release" failure in the github release workflow
- debated 'plugin' vs 'web-plugin' options.
-- we are requesting feedback from the community on
https://github.com/apache/grails-core/issues/14944 and how the
community uses various app generations
-- we need to incorporate some of our learned best practices for
plugins - i.e. do not export grails dependencies &
https://github.com/apache/grails-core/issues/14944
-- proposal to remove "plugin" option after 7

* Jakarta Servlet Dependency
- need to finalize the Jakarta API clean up so that it's not exported
by default.
- https://github.com/apache/grails-core/pull/14961
- https://github.com/apache/grails-core/discussions/13994
- decision: ServletContext / Servlet api dependency clean up - do not
inject in bootstrap by default , update upgrade instructions if people
want the servletcontext, and remove the servlet api from rest
transforms - will do in 7

* We have decided we need a 7.0.0-RC2
- for the micronaut changes
- sitemesh3 fix
- asset-pipeline-bom adoption

* Hotswap Agent Discussion
- works, but has lots of error output.  Spring 3 isn't officially
supported, so we need to be cautious how we advertise this feature
- Add ticket to track limitations:
https://github.com/apache/grails-core/issues/14967
- Add link to ticket in documentation

* Cloudflare usage
- 3 sites are still using: repo.grails.org, start.grails.org, and ge.grails.org.
- James F is currently following up on next steps for how we transition these.
