* Personal Retro head/tailwinds
** Guillaume

- Upgrade Libraries
- Green field projects
- Refresh our ops stack

** Matthieu

*** Headwinds

- use github (not jira)
- Good collaboration with other teams

*** Tailwinds

- no (or almost none) coding time for managers
- Team Spirit & collaboration between team members (ex Olivier)
- Refresh our technical stack

** Kirill

- Public library to shutdown properly
- introducing data stream capabilities with kafka, kafka connect
  HTTP interface we should provide stream interface to quickly react, subscribe
  to changes, data-lake in CTIA, CTIM schema.

Usual workday:

- 80% thinking
- 20% coding

not implement complicated code, to type less.

*** Headwinds

- let's try to change everything
  - refactoring or "do not hesitate to change"
  - CTIM changes for example, allow to export to STIX
    Mainly change internal data structure.

*** Tailwinds

- need more data stream scenario

** Shafiq

- Problem solving first, Clojure behind

*** Headwinds

- Clojure is a good tool
- Team
- Autonomy in the team
- Async collaboration
- Investing time in accordance to tasks
- PR reviews, technical discussions (welcoming, healthy and think time)

*** Tailwinds

- We should Focus on RFC dn technical discussions across sub-teams. Promote
  eligible PRs to RFC. (Idea have a UI page.)

* Paris Olympics 2024 + POC demo

- Logo of the products in the tiles missing from SX to XDR.
- infinite lifetime session for the Olympics (change refresh token lifetime from user-id)

* Jyoti Presentation
AI assistant on the UI
* Guillaume Presentation Graph API
Pathom3: https://pathom3.wsscode.com
* Jyoti's day
** Data retention

https://whiteboard.webex.com/whiteboards/ah4JMrM3tFVTxUZV51kArb

1. Manual deletion
   - completed in INT and TEST
   - done for "ALL" orgs (SX & XDR)
   - objects deleted: incidents, investigations, events, assets, sightings,
     assets-mapping, asset-properties, relationships (involved in incident or sightings)
2. Daily Cron

   - same as manual but assets and sightings

** Notification System (Event Bus)

https://whiteboard.webex.com/whiteboards/a5cEiUkct6CNtHZCdRJmAld

** Integrations

https://whiteboard.webex.com/whiteboards/a79AlknraKGx47aFzchkiJc

** SX EOL


FMC uses SX for device flow.
Only to connect to SSX.
CDO provide a context service.

Enable SX, come to IROH-Auth & returns the key, then iroh-sse to call to ssx.

** IROH-Proxy improv

- Crowdstrike

** IROH-Async improv (no time to discuss)
