0️⃣ Who is here today? Does everyone celebrate Mothers' Day (last Sunday) or is that only in the US?

mikelutz (he/him)	Morning all, at least to all for whom it is morning.
benjifisher	We celebrated Mothers' Day with my mother-in-law last Sunday. Because of the pandemic, we met outside with a total of about 9 people.
Akhildev CS	hi , we are also celebrated .( I Akhildev,from india)
benjifisher	@Rinku Jacob, @Akhildev CS: Welcome! I think this is the first time you have joined this meeting. If you are looking for ways to contribute, then 4️⃣ is a good thread to talk about your background and what you can do to help.
Akhildev CS	yes i am very first time into this meeting
marvil07	Hi!It is also celebrated in Peru at the same time.
huzooka	In Hungary, we celebrate it on the first Sunday of May
gaurav mahlawat	Hello everyone :wave:
Kunal Kapoor	Hi everyone :wave:
anmolgoyal74	Hello
Matroskeen	Hello, Ivan is here.We celebrate it in Ukraine in the same date :hugging_face:
jibran	Hi!
quietone	Hi, Here Mother's day is the second Sunday in May. We went to my favourite local cafe for brunch.

1️⃣ What should we talk about today? Suggest topics here and I will add threads. I will also check for comments on the issue for today's meeting.

marvil07

No update on the drush/migrate_tools front right now, but I may get to it before next meeting :slightly_smiling_face:For the interested I made a small blog post with a bit of the story behind it at https://usa.adaptagency.com/news-knowledge/bringing-drush-and-migrate-to...

2️⃣ Action items. To be added later.

huzooka	I need a (breaf) feedback at #3213636: Migrate text fields with conflicting text_processing setting as formatter text fields
huzooka	(where was this shared in the last 1 hour?)
huzooka	(answer: in 4️⃣ )
quietone	NW: #3063856: Add ability to view migrate_message table data @quietone

3️⃣ Statistics

benjifisher	Fixed since last week's meeting: 3 (not counting the issue for the meeting).
benjifisher	RTBC: 10, 2 of which are Major.
benjifisher	NR: 29, including 2 Major and 2 that have not been updated in more than three months.
huzooka	How can I track this? Could you please share the link?
marvil07	It may be https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o0Rjlc1vnnLP5bM5P-SMMyGzqn7258hi... ?
benjifisher	BTW, some of the RTBC issues have been waiting for several weeks, but random failures in the automated re-tests mean that the issues have been "updated" more recently.
marvil07	Maybe these stats can be generated on d.o, similar to other from https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupalorg/-/blob/7.x-3.x/drupalorg_me...
benjifisher	More automation is not a priority for me. I think it is good practice for one of the maintainers to look at the list on a regular basis. If we fully automate the statistics, there is a temptation to skip that.

4️⃣ How can I help? Comment in this thread if you are looking for ways to help. Give us some idea of what you would like to do: documentation, code review, testing, project management, ...

Akhildev CS	what are the tickets can I solve, or review. can you have any suggestions
benjifisher	There are lots of issues that need testing and review: https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/drupal?text=&status=8&priorities=A...…]onent=migration%20system&order=field_issue_priority&sort=desc
Rinku Jacob	even for me also can you suggest some issues (edited)
Akhildev CS	thank you,
benjifisher	I prioritize the Major issues and the ones that have been waiting the longest, but the opposite approach is probably better for a beginner. If you look at one of the more recent issues, with not too many comments, it is probably more approachable.
benjifisher	Many issues involve the migrate_drupal module, for upgrading a site from Drupal 6 or 7. If you are interested in testing one of those issues, then you need to do some setup. We can offer advice on that in this channel.
Rinku Jacob	thank you
benjifisher	Here are some issues that were created recently, with only a few comments:#3213621: Fix D7 migration database fixture (to follow documentation) and update the same outdated doc
anmolgoyal74	I will be testing few issues this weekend.
benjifisher	Thank you! Are you all set up for testing?

5️⃣ [regression] Roles should depend on objects that are building the granted permissions

benjifisher	#2571235: [regression] Roles should depend on objects that are building the granted permissions
benjifisher	@alexpott, I last updated this issue 2 weeks ago. I think it is getting close to RTBC. Do you plan to get to this soon, or will it have to wait until after 9.2.0 is released?
benjifisher	I added a comment and updated the issue summary.

6️⃣ Expose full set of debugging data in migrate_message table (filterable/searchable)

benjifisher	#3063856: Add ability to view migrate_message table data
benjifisher	@quietone, we talked about this issue last week. We have some suggestions for next steps.

7️⃣ Bringing Drush and Migrate Tools closer

benjifisher	https://usa.adaptagency.com/news-knowledge/bringing-drush-and-migrate-to...
benjifisher	@marvil07, if you tweet about that then I can re-tweet.
benjifisher	That is a pretty ... distinctive ... theme.
benjifisher	Is `<iframe>` legal inside `<head>`?
mikelutz (he/him)	It is not, lol.

8️⃣ Migrate Scanner

benjifisher	https://www.drupal.org/project/migrate_scanner
benjifisher	I think I promised to add some functionality to this module: look under migrations/process/ for YAML files as a way to create reusable process plugins by combining existing ones.
marvil07	That extra functionality to add reusable bits of process plugins as process plugins sounds really nice, and I have wished for it for a while :slightly_smiling_face: .It may want to live independently of the mentioned module. I may be missing something but I do not see a direct connection between them.
benjifisher	The technical connection is that the existing module will let you organize the "snippets" in subdirectories of mogrations/process/.The non-technical reason is to collaborate and avoid a profusion of modules. If any part of the module becomes popular, then we can consider porting the feature to Drupal core.
Matroskeen	Yep, it might be possible to reuse discovery plugin provided by Migrate Scanner.Another part would need to be handled at Migrate Scanner - ignoring migrations/process directory. Otherwise, it'll treat re-usable parts as migrations and discovery will fail. It already has similar protection for migrations/state directory.

9️⃣ Wrap up
