Initial participant list

- Dave Enyeart
- Timo Glastra
Discussion from June 1st TOC meeting on scope of task force:
- Best practices on GitHub Workflow Actions (with pointers to GitHub documentation)
- General checkup of CI workflows where times are high across our repos --> this would lead to a best practices/learnings section
- Moonshot: Evaluate self-hosted alternatives to what buildjet offers commercially --> report of options available
Discussion from June 20th TOC meeting:
- Build dependency caching
- Cross-platform scripts allow to debug CI locally
- Evaluate an open-source alternative for buildjet that we could self-host -- could not find anything. So the Moonshot is paused.
- ACT tool to run CI locally
- Success with dedicated runners on the Fabric CI (factor of 2x)
- Best practices document has some details that we need to include
- Survey to collect thoughts on best practices and pain points that can be sent to the community
- Targeted integration tests based on files in the PR
- Where artifacts be published, how often
- When releases should be tagged
