Discussion topics

Item	Notes
Dolt / Databases	Lots of changes being made in datasets agencies Does Dolt support SQL COPY Richard has MongoDB creds for anyone who would like to experiment How slow is Dolt? Breakingly? We’re going to have ~2 million records. We can host a mirror on our server and run an instance if people want the same data quicker / without the dolt UI
Podcast fame	Jeff was interviewed on Privacy Please releasing this week (wednesday) and mentioned PDAP
OCR	Tensorflow has been suggested We may need a lot of training data, which we don’t have. Is there a way we could slowly start to feed this stuff to tensorflow now? Requirements: We need to be able to comma delimit things on the way in There’s no harm in the meantime with publishing unedited PDFs may inspire contributors to help with OCR
FE	There are some folks ready to work on stuff for when we have data For now it’s pretty small and people could clone it and run it locally Miles is converting gatsby to JSX which will make iteration easier
mongodb	We should have a template if we’re using Mongo
Docker compose file	Mitch is working on a docker compose file for dolt and mongo, which will be helpful as we get our ETL framework together
