Notes:

1. Community Spotlight: Software AG
 * Have been involved in Eclipse Che for some time
 * Essentially using Che as a workspace server management - they have a
custom IDE which they use for business process applications in their DAP
(Dynamic Applications Platform) product suite
 * They chose Che because there was nothing else like it, and they are a
long-time Eclipse user. They have been very happy with the Che community.
 * Potential areas of improvement: internationalization, accessibility
(esp. For government contracts), and documentation
 * Various questions about how they are accessing workspaces from their
IDE, what they need in terms of a11y, i18n, and whether they were
evaluating the GWT or Theia IDE
 * Barry Dresdner pointed out that the console was not
keyboard-navigable, all images seem to have good alt tags,  but that he
has not (yet) done tests with a screenreader

2. Any Other Business
 * Sergii raised the question of QA processes for factories in Che 7
with Theia - this has been broken a number of times, and Sergii asked
how we plan to test end to end to verify functionality like this
  - Florent pointed to the GitHUb issue:
https://github.com/eclipse/che/issues/12364
 * Jason asked whether Che shipped any excryption (listing encryption is
a requirement for export controls for US products).
  - He mentioned username and password hashing as being known already
  - Dave brought up HTTPS with self-signed certs, recently added.
  - Sergii confirmed that Che has supported HTTPS since day 1, just not
with self-signed certificates.

The meeting was adjourned
