Six-Week Sprint (2019-05-16 — 2019-06-20)

Open "``sprint``" issues
Board is open now, ToDos are added for all open issues
How async-compression looks like right now will probably stay that way, aside from asyncbufread
Writing a blog post about the compression issue so people know there is a compression middleware available (will be added to the sprint goals)

Working Group Updates

tide
- tide-cors: We can re-use some implementation from actix, also @Prasanna L implemented a small version for tide which can be extended
- The modular split for tide came quite far: One PR is merged, the other one can maybe be merged this week; we should land the last PR as well before we push a new release
- app.serve will return a Future, where app.run starts the server (still some examples are needed for use cases and how it used in the end)
- futures
  - Futures has a new release(0.3.0-alpha.16) which supports the new .await syntax
  - We need to open a discussion about moving Futures off the -alpha/-preview releases once it’s stabilizes
  - Stream is part of futures-core which is intended to be non-breaking once it releases
  - Sink is in a separate futures-sink crate, which means breaking changes are possible
- runtime
  - no updates this week
- books
  - Discussion around the outline/content started (link)
  - Open for input
  - No content yet
- websites
  - No updates this week
PR sign off process
- We need to establish basic, low key requirements to accept and merge pull requests
- Maybe with the help of GitHub to set some requirements before a PR can be merged (minimum number of reviews for example)
- PR has to be linked to an issue where consensus has been reached with regards to the general approach to solving the problem
- The tool bors might be a help with some of the issues
