Agenda & Notes
Quickly review previous meeting minutes (5 min)
TODO: Burke to define the explicit Upstream coordinator role and look for someone(s) to fill it (follow up)
TODO: Suranga to follow up on someone to See if we could make a script to Create a database/table/document to track libraries (someone?). Joseph Kaweesi was working on a module to show dependencies. A script would do it better (but still we would need a way of getting the updates from the database to the user, this is what the module was lke doing), in the first place i had tried instead to do some sort of module that would do the reporting of dependency updates. I can work on the script still
