Hi All,

Not a lot of updates or topics of discussion this week. Seems like
everyone's already lost interest in just over 3 weeks.

We did discuss a lot about what a release means for us. You can read
about it more in the minutes and logs. This discussion will also come
up soon on the mailing lists as well.
We also discussed replacements for FSFE etherpad. As a result, next
week we'll be trying out hackmd[1].

The logs for today's meeting are available at [2], [3] and [4].

Nigel will your host for the next meeting. Add your updates and topics at [1].
See you all then.

Cheers,
Kaushal
