March General Meeting Minutes

Philip Odence
 

I thought it might be useful to include the text of the minutes in my monthly reports, so intend to start doing so. 

For the last 30 mins of the April General Meeting, the Tech Team will give a high level presentation of the 2.0 model on which we have converged, intended for anyone on any team who has not been involved in the details of  2.0.
