• Russ Trow introduced a potential collaboration with Sustainable Architecture on enterprise architecture principles and patterns. The team agreed to review a detailed deck and consider integrating their work with the GSF framework.
• They also discussed the development of a new patterns catalog, including selecting 30 patterns, creating behavioral patterns, and conducting a card sort exercise. The governance life cycle for projects was outlined, emphasizing the need for consensus and feedback from the wider community before moving from a pre-draft to a draft state.
