## Backtrace on Linux

@tomerd to confirm final location (apple or swift-server) before publishing a pitch.

## Deployment Guides

Initial content posted to [GitHub - swift-server/guides: Guides for building, debugging and deploying Swift Server applications](https://github.com/swift-server/guides)

- @tanner0101 adding content about supervisor/nginx
- @Logan_Wright adding content about Heroku
- @johannesweiss adding content about debugging

## SSWG index scope and goals

@tanner0101 reviewed the incubation process language and working on a PR to make sure the above is clear enough, see [https://forums.swift.org/t/meeting-notes-feb-6th-2020/33567](https://forums.swift.org/t/meeting-notes-feb-6th-2020/33567)

@swift-server-group to review [Update incubation guidelines for server relevance by tanner0101 · Pull Request #36 · swift-server/sswg · GitHub](https://github.com/swift-server/sswg/pull/36)

## OpenAPI

@tanner0101 gave the group a overview of the outstanding pitches and libraries.

The group feels that [OpenAPIKit](https://forums.swift.org/t/openapikit/32572) is a good building block for OpenAPI based solutions and encourages the @mattpolzin to move to the proposal phase where we can discussion the implementation

## Tracing

Apple has suggested this as a topic for [Google Summer of Code](https://swift.org/gsoc2020/), and some students have expressed interest.

@tanner0101 gauging the interest with the relevant folks from the Vapor Discord

## [HypertextLiteral](https://github.com/NSHipster/HypertextLiteral)

The library could be useful for the server, @tanner to evaluate if interesting in the vapor ecosystem. If so, reach out to author to ask about pitching/propsing to SSWG.

## [SwiftCrypto](https://github.com/apple/swift-crypto)

Proposal has been up for the required 2 weeks, and has positive feedback. Adopted in Vapor 4.

Unanimous voted to be included as Sandbox.

@tomerd to update the index.

## gRPC

@timburks discussing inside Google a transition plan to the swift-nio based version. lots of dependencies on the old version, might need a shim

@johannesweiss to get an answer on branching: if master will become the new, NIO based version leading 1.0.0
