Attendance to this weeks meeting was quite poor, initially but picked
up later on.
Two topics were discussed today, about the impending shutdown of the
FSFE etherpad and the trial run of the new format meetings.
We'll be running the same format next week as well.

The meeting pad has been archived at [1]. The logs can be found at [2],[3],[4].

I'll be hosting next weeks meeting, same time (people in NA, remember
to come an hour early), same place.
Don't forget, add your topics and updates to the agenda at [5].

Thanks.
