**Agenda**

- Anyone needs any specific time to discuss ongoing work?

- Some docs topics to discuss

- Fredrik files (review of recent releases , active dev tasks/bugs)

- [Release 1.73.0](https://github.com/HyphaApp/hypha/releases/tag/v1.73.0)

- OTF finance and compliance build-up

- cleanup - removing old project approval stream form (this is what they’re called in wagtail, forms that Staff create)

- Bug: password protected login redirect issue fixed

- Tokens updated (bc we’re going to actually use them now!), removed from everything except publicly available info (open calls)

- 1.74.0 ([Release 1.74.0 · HyphaApp/hypha · GitHub](https://github.com/HyphaApp/hypha/releases/tag/v1.74.0))

- OTF new feature requests:

- Requiring password before you can change email

- Requiring 2FA (2-factor authentication)

- Added global customization setting so org can decide whether they want to have applications automatically routed or not

- Application status _was_ automatically updated/submissions automatically rerouted once conditions were met

- Need bigger discussion (maybe in Summit?) about settings we have discussed adding, where do we want them (Fund, Round, Form, Global?), do we even _want_ more (for many users, having too many settings is overwhelming)

- In-progress

- New round of updates - Hypha uses a lot of Python and Node & NPM packages, working on updating them

- Security issues: Progress covered in Release 1.74.0

- Finance (OTF) progress

Slammer Q re: releases: are features in “release” available for use on live site?

- Fredrik: release means code for features exists and you can actually use it

- needs to be pushed to each org’s live site, Fredrik does this for OTF and Reset (typically weeekly)

- Nothing goes to live without being on test first [https://test-apply.hypha.app/](https://test-apply.hypha.app/)

- So new “release” means any org who wants that feature should update their code from the

- OTF and reset have own test sites, so far there hasn’t been a dedicated tester for OTF, but Fredrik would be happy to have such a person

- Adoptor Maintainer Corner \*(if we have multiple adopters in the call please keep updates on adoptor specific features as brief as possible!)

- Dan is mapping out comms channels for hypha project + loose roles & responsibilities

- Dan & Eriol also started Governance convos meetings etc for 17th Dec doc here: [Governance and adopter stakeholder agreements - working doc - Google Docs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/16zLI9T5efoY72b4PcUPE9VsA6lOLpoMs8yKuBSmSqt0/edit#) Slammer is also in this call

- OTF: Slammer, new IT person for OTF, will be attending weekly, will want to discuss governance & communication (and how that fits with OTF-internal processes), would like 1-on-1 meetings with maintainers

- Security audit issues - Di added 2 more that Slammer noted, Di considers high priority

- Other processes people want to think through

- Can’t get to 2FA settings easily, no link from “account profile” to 2FA settings

- Fredrik advises _not_ to use Google to log in

- Slammer says issue persists even when not using Google, will share screenshots with Bernard

- DFF: An issue in AOB below

- ARDC: thinking about how they want their instance of Hypha to function

- UX Design Corner

- Majority is OTF compliance work

- design work for 2FA security audit issues

- Reporting in same place as last week

- Researching how applicants feel about contract e-signing services, and how they would feel about OTF requiring use of such a system

- Di: want open source alternative that matches values and has all the same features

- Bernard: people are saying that they are much more willing to use big name company because of the increased level of security that they get from such a company

- Docusign spends all of their day making sure stuff is secure, OTF doesn’t (bc it’s not their focus)

- Seems people are more convinced of the security of proprietary 3rd party e-signing (e.g. Docusign) than of open-source e-signing software

- Eriol commented in chat “depends on your impression of OSS which is geo informed essentially”

- Documentation Corner / What’s up docs?

- Will be updating github hypha-docs repo to match new docs structure (not important to users, only contributors)

- Happy to prioritize docs that would be useful to someone in Slammer’s position

- Feedback on Stakeholders page:[https://github.com/HyphaApp/hypha-docs/blob/main/gettingstarted\_overview/Hypha%20Stakeholders.md](https://github.com/HyphaApp/hypha-docs/blob/main/gettingstarted_overview/Hypha%20Stakeholders.md)

- Added descriptions to some of the roles in Hypha Documentation Organization spreadsheet:[Hypha Documentation Organization & Add/Priority List - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xtfnPa7xklQFHrfNNIyjYxWsQe7GwkQGe_ZNXIKaB58/edit#gid=0)

- What do we mean by administrator vs. developer and maintainer: Can we clarify who we mean by the “Administrator” (specifically how it’s different from Staff and Developer, maybe my description of “Developer” is incorrect)

- PM Corner / Bow and Eriol

- Reporting feature feasibility update (Same as Adopters last week) [Feasibility Review Template - M&E and Reporting - Adopters Nov & Dec 2021 & Jan 2022 - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-anh9NM8CyChGX2IjpJjl81P-wdLVYJHlJr3Q0J0X4Q/edit?pli=1#gid=1610025234)

- Wishlist process pending

- Roadmap update pending

- Any Other Business or ‘Proposals ongoing’

- From DFF via Zulip: We have two different applicants from the same organisation. They originally submitted applications separately, with different accounts/email addresses. But now want both applications to be under one account. Is it just a matter of changing the two accounts so they both have the same email address and name? That won’t cause any problems where one application disappears?

- [di]: Other users could be added to the application as a ‘Partner’ to edit the application \< Thank you! I responded to Thomas in Zulip with this
