Discussion agenda
Please don't schedule stuff yourself. If you have ideas, add it to the parking lot list at the end. Thank you. – David Golden (xdg)
All discussions will take place around lunchtime so we can talk while we eat and not lose too much valuable coding time. Exact details will be communicated on Thursday morning.
Tentative schedule:
Thursday, April 16
