Qgil lowered the priority of this task from High to Low.May 12 2017, 2:44 PM

Goals finally defined. I'm setting priority to Low until the quarterly check-in approaches.

We have a deadline to present team goals for the next quarter by June 6. Our team just started the discussion. Suggestions are welcome.

Qgil raised the priority of this task from Low to Medium.Jun 13 2017, 3:29 PM

Personal update on this:

PDFs – find out what works well, what's lacking and what's less prioritised: We're basically done with the first step of this, what I imagined when I added the task here – the summary is now online, although we're not broadcasting that fact until we can also tell the community more about the backend decision, to not spam folks with related content twice instead of once.

Tech News t-shirt: the design is done, @Rfarrand sent an order. Should be done, but waiting to close the task until we actually have the t-shirts.

Community Wishlist status update: I've sent the parts I was asked to write; stuck on the Community Tech side.

My part of this task is done. @Elitre will present at the Quarterly Check-in meeting on Monday 17 on behalf of the Technical Collaboration team, since I will be on vacation. Thank you Erica!

Our part of the check-in is done, I guess this settles it all?
