+
+## Minutes
+
+- RW: I added everyone in the working group as members of the org
+    - it should be maintainers, let me know if you aren't able to close issues etc.
+- discussion about middlewares in ember-cli-fastboot
+    - for SD's PR we want a way to be able to toggle off ember-cli-fastboot's middleware
+    - SD: does this allow you to add your own?
+    - RJ: this will theoretically allow SN to not need to fork ember-cli-fastboot
+- monorepo setup discussion
+    - proposed monorepo setup:
+        - `ember-fastboot/ember-fastboot`
+            - `packages/fastboot`: low level tool for anything rely on rendering Ember app in node environment (e.g., custom fastboot-server, prember)
+            - `packages/ember-cli-fastboot`: required for all SSR ember app
+            - `packages/fastboot-express-middleware`: low level tool for building custom fastboot-server
+            - `packages/fastboot-app-server`: sane default for serving production app
+            - `test-packages/*`: internal ember apps for acceptance & e2e testing, not published
+            - `website`: contains documentation, also a production ready SSR ember app
+        - `ember-fastboot/simple-dom`
+        - `ember-fastboot/fastboot-s3-downloader`
+        - `ember-fastboot/fastboot-s3-notifier`
+        - `ember-fastboot/fastboot-cli`
+    - TW: the main monorepo should have everything needed to dev a fastboot app in it
+    - RJ: we should hold off moving website into the monorepo based on CM's feedback
+    - RJ: we could consider creating another monorepo for fastboot-app-server and related repos
+    - RJ: fasboot-cli could be replaced by SN's proposal (to make dev more like "production") and we should consider deprecating
+    - TW: if we don't feel strongly about fastboot-app-server as part of the monorepo right now we could just leave it as it is for now and then make a decision later
+    - TW: having them inside the monorepo would be good when we need to release all of the main packages and remaining in sync
+    - CM: doesn't this lean towards the "logical problem" we had with monorepos
+    - RJ: yes if you **need** to do it, but the alternative is to have a cascade of PRs to update everything and if we miss one then we can have a lot of a different versions across our ecosystem
+    - RJ: if we do what TW is proposing then we could do a single release at once
+    - yes it can encode assumptions if we do something like this, but the reality is that we are already in a bad space because we haven't been keeping up to date
+    - RJ: what's the next steps?
+    - TW: how do we do the release
+    - RJ: I have a tool release-it-yarn-workspaces
+    - there is a small blocker to make release-it-yarn-workspaces not release packages that haven't changed
+    - we can use git to solve it
+    - CM: are we intending to have test packages as siblings in the fastboot monorepo
+    - RJ: yes
+    - also we could use the same tests for ember-cli-fastboot to test app server too... possibly
+    - RJ: we probably need to remove the vendored apps from fastboot (super old)
+    - CM: can we get some help from the community
+    - action item to brainstorm
