Actually bandwidth was not good… but the meeting was great.  :-)

Super happy we merged before summer was over, so kudos to you and Leo
and everyone who cajoled the branch!

Who wants to volunteer as a time keeper for the next cycle?  The task of
the time keeper is to make sure we merge on time, which means saying
“no” when someone wants to push one of those infamous last-minute
rebuild-the-world changes, and pinging people regularly when we’re in
the phase where we’re fixing packages.  Any takers?
