Future of this meeting
- We recognize as a community that each of us needs to adapt to current global events: improving the upstream open source libraries is likely to be slower.
- No apology is needed if people take longer to respond to things.
- Richard's role changed, so we need a change in host.
- Robert Mitwicki will coordinate the meeting going forward
- Fewer meetings and more async collaboration?
