I'm late with the meeting notes again. But better late, than never.
Here are the meeting notes for the community meeting on 2017-03-01.

We had a lower attendance this week with lot of regular attendees out
for conferences. We had one topic of discussion on backports and
change-ids. Other than that we had an informal discussion around
maintainers and maintainership. More details about the discussions can
be found in the logs.

The next meeting is on 15th March, 1500UTC. The meeting pad is ready
for updates and topics for discussion at
https://bit.ly/gluster-community-meetings.

See you all next time.
