Attendees

Build out integrated example project @FranzBusch @tiborbodecs
Deployment guides: @Joannis_Orlandos to share OpenAPI spec with @tiborbodecs and @sebsto For deployment guide.
@tachyonics to refactor the Swift.org post
@0xTim to finalise the incubation package review

@tiborbodecs Docker file to be built by Tibor, Joannis to provide OpenAPI spec
@sebsto Using AWS Lambda for AWS example. Will look to do another AWS platform in second stage
@sebsto Idea is to use the same example in all deployment guides

@sebsto The aws-swift-lambda-events package has been around for a while and shouldn't need any major changes now. Should we tag it 1.0.0
@adam-fowler The fact that the package isn't stable is causing issues down the line. Breaking changes have been introduced in the past that have broken upstream packages like hummingbird-lambda. A stable version would be very helpful
Sebastien tag aws-swift-lambda-events 1.0.0

@sebsto The aws-swift-lambda-runtime is near completion should we tag an alpha version of this.
@FranzBusch Fabian is back late January, should wait until then to discuss
@sebsto main thing left to do is incorporate swift-service-lifecycle
@FranzBusch swift-service-lifecycle is only useful if lambda is terminated with a signal
@sebsto lambda team say it is but @adam-fowler has reported not seeing it
Sebastien discuss with Fabian on runtime release.
Adam fix swift 6 issues in cancellation code

@FranzBusch before we consider what our 2025 yearly goals are we should reflect on our past goals
@FranzBusch/@0xTim Need to coordinate with Contributor Experience on format and how to release 2025 yearly goals

Swift 6
- @Franzbusch We've done quite well in getting ready for Swift 6. The majority of SSWG packages compile without issue
Structured Concurrency
- @FranzBusch More packages adopting structure concurrency and swift-service-lifecycle
- Packages include Hummingbird, gRPC, swift-otel, soto, postgres-nio
Standardized HTTP Server and Middleware
- @adam-fowler This has stalled.
- @FranzBusch We have a prototype for middleware, but don't have request/response types
- @adam-fowler Can we use generics for request, response
- @FranzBusch Should target HTTP server over Middleware
Marketing
- Activity this year
  - @tiborbodecs swiftonserver.com see 20k visitors, 2000 subscribers (click through 50%), 20 blog posts
  - Server side swift conference
  - Talks at other conferences (swift-connection, WWDC, AWS re:invent, FOSDEM)
  - Presence at GH universe alongside swift team
  - Server side meet ups
- @taylorswift How do we measure success?
- @FranzBusch Good question, maybe we should talk about for next years goals
- @ktoso difficult to measure
- @adam-fowler, @sebsto measure change in numbers for swiftonserver.com, views of SSS conference videos
- @finestructure Social media presence. Still no official accounts outside of twitter account.
