Core migration issues:

0️⃣ Who is here today? What is the next Drupal event you plan to attend? Do you hope to present?

dinarcon Mauricio here :wave: Attending online DrupalCamp Colorado tomorrow. I will be presenting sessions/trainings at online camps on Drupal Migrations in September/October. (edited)
dww Derek. Not sure what "attend" means anymore. ;)  Not planning to present anything anytime soon...
alison Alison here!  Drupal GovCon / Baltimore Camp combo, September 24-25!I don't expect to present this year, I didn't have the energy to come up with a session, BUT, I'm on the organizing team -- go GovCon!!  Free registration is still open :wink::blush:https://www.drupalgovcon.org/Reminder: GovCon isn't just for govies, it's a (huge) regional camp than grew out of a gov event, and the gov name makes it easier for gov ppl to get permission to attend haha. (edited)
benjifisher I have never been to GovCon. Maybe this year, I will go.I intend to go to BADCamp in October, but have not registered yet. (Plans are more reliable than intentions.) I could update one of my presentations and submit it.
Nick Dickinson Wilde Nick, he/him. Definitely going to attend BADCamp, probably a couple between now and then - sending in my badcamp proposal in the next week or so.
quietone It will a Drupal meetup or DrupalSouth
damienmckenna Catching up after the fact. DrupalCamp Atlanta, I've submitted a presentation, will see if it's selected.

1️⃣ What should we talk about today? Suggest topics here and I will add threads.

dinarcon I wonder if it would be good to have a Glossary in the documentation section. I think this would be useful for providing support. I tend to use terms like "code migrations" and "pseudofields" which are not technically correct and might confuse people. IMHO Having an official reference to name things would be useful.
damienmckenna I like that idea ^

2️⃣ Action items. To be added later.

benjifisher NR: #3006750: Remove memory management from MigrateExecutable @benjifisher
benjifisher NW: #3134470: Switch to entity owner in EntityContentBase during validation. Volunteer needed
benjifisher NW: #3063856: Add ability to view migrate_message table data. Volunteer needed
benjifisher NR: #2925899: MigrateUpgradeImportBatch does not use source_private_file_path & source_base_path correctly, making it impossible to have public & private files in separate locations. @benjifisher
benjifisher In case anyone is curious, I use this list from each meeting as a starting point for the following meeting.There is one of last week's Action Items that made it to the Fixed list: #3143717: Add helper methods to the migrate_drupal_ui functional tests

3️⃣ Statistics

benjifisher Fixed: 5 issues since last week, not counting the meeting. (This is based on latest comment, so may not be accurate.)
benjifisher RTBC: Just 2, both Normal priority. Thanks to the core committers!
benjifisher NR: 46, including 11 that have not had a comment in more than two months. Several of those have fewer than 10 comments, so they may not be too complicated to review.Two are Major.

4️⃣ Documentation

benjifisher Proposal: Add a Glossary (page? section?)
benjifisher According to recent comments in this channel, @damienmckenna has been working on a new section on field plugins.
alison Glossary page / section sounds cool!Something that comes to mind initially, for me, is the likelihood of things being defined / explained in multiple places, which we all know makes maintenance more difficult. BUT, I think it'd be really great, and I think it's worth trying to figure out a good way to handle it.
alison Oh and, one follow-up from last week:There are no rules about removing "this is incomplete" indicator, as everybody guessed.  One person on the #documentation channel (jhodgdon - don't want to make her come over here haha, but do want to attribute) suggested:I think it's mostly used when someone is writing a documentation page and know there is more information needed that they don't have time to add right now, or don't have the knowledge to add.Here's last week's migrate meeting thread, which includes a link to the thread on #documentation where I asked for advice :)https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C226VLXBP/p1596723305396000?thread_ts=...
dinarcon Shall we create sub threads for these topics? As for the glossary, a page should suffice.
benjifisher I think one thread for documentation is enough.
dinarcon Having an official glossary would be useful when providing support. I tent to use the terms "code migrations" and "pseudofields" which are not technically correct. That might cause confusion.

5️⃣ Move memory management from MigrateExecutable to an event subscriber

benjifisher #3006750: Remove memory management from MigrateExecutable
benjifisher I need to suggest a way forward on this issue.

6️⃣ Switch to entity owner in EntityContentBase during validation

benjifisher #3134470: Switch to entity owner in EntityContentBase during validation
benjifisher No progress since last week. Can we find a volunteer to make the changes requested in the most recent review?

7️⃣ Expose full set of debugging data in migrate_message table (filterable/searchable)

benjifisher #3063856: Add ability to view migrate_message table data
benjifisher Volunteer needed

8️⃣ MigrateUpgradeImportBatch does not use source_private_file_path ... (edited) 

benjifisher #2925899: MigrateUpgradeImportBatch does not use source_private_file_path & source_base_path correctly, making it impossible to have public & private files in separate locations
benjifisher This is one of my top priorities. I keep saying that ...

9️⃣ Wrap up
