Prior to the meeting, propose any agenda items using comments below. After the meeting, rough notes will be added in comments.

Typically, these meetings consist of:

• News: Quick updates or announcements to keep people in the loop on key efforts or topics
• Demos: Have something cool to show off? Do it in a ~5-minute demo
• Short Topics: Have something that needs a quick discussion, description, or straw poll? Propose a ~5-minute discussion topic
• Longer Topics: If you have a topic needing more time, propose it with an estimated duration and we'll try to fit it in.

If you'd like to propose an item in any of these categories, please reply to this discussion.

In addition to the above sections, we have some standing agenda items, such as:

• Triage: What is the state of testing and are there issues that need more attention?
• User Issues: What new user issues have come up in the past week, and which should we prioritize?
• Q&A: Have something you want to ask, but not on the clock? We'll open the floor to Q&A as the official meeting wraps up.
