Meeting notes

Compared merits of git vs. JIRA for issue tracking. Git has the advantages of relative simplicity in both use and management. JIRA is far more feature-rich, but likely requires additional management. Settled on using JIRA for the time being.

Josh has created an initial Sonar configuration - Jeff will review and try it out. VR will create an AWS host for a CI and Sonar server. We can open access to the tech group for shared setup and administration. No decisions made on timelines.
