[Cassandra Sanchez <cassandra s 18 gmail com>]

Hi All,

Here are our meeting minutes from today, February 19th, 2016: https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/TeamMeetings/19-FEB-2016. I'm also adding them below. Thank you to those who joined, and a special thanks to Oliver for helping me put the notes on the wiki page. Nuritzi and I made a How To for posting and sending out meeting notes for future newcomers, you can check it out here: https://etherpad.gnome.org/p/How_To_Take_Meeting_Notes We'll migrate it to the wiki soon!

We hope you'll join the next meeting, on February 26th, 2016 @ 17:00 UTC, on #engagement.

Thanks, and have a great weekend, everyone!

Best,
Cassandra
