Hello,
Here is a short summary of the network team meeting from Monday the 9th of
March 2020.
1) We started out with roadmap.
2) Reviews seemed alright.
3) We went over our 0.4.3 status page.
4) We discussed if we should do post-TROVE retrospectives. We should discuss
that at our next retrospective.
5) To focus on S55 Teor has dropped some tasks that the rest of us should be
better at keeping up with if we have capacity for it.
6) We discussed a queue system for topics for our larger team voice meetings.
7) Nick asked if there was any objections to using CBOR for Walking Onions.
8) Nobody had anything else to discuss.
