The README is primarily aimed at a quick overview of things before you
delve deep into the Membership Committee section on the wiki. So, I'd
request that you read it and jot down the questions if any for
discussion during the meeting (coming to it in a while)

My part of the world sees a standstill due to the Festival of lights
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali in case you are interested), that
means that we can choose to meet this week. I am placed UTC+0530
(that's Indian Standard Time) but don't let that bother you too much
about a comfortable time for everyone. The important issue at this
stage is to meet.

The ones below would be very important in view of the upcoming elections.

> 3) Updating foundation.gnome.org for election news
> 4) Preparing calendar in .icv format

Looking forward, the documentation on the wiki would need some love.

Welcome once again
