I'm not aware of anyone afk during those dates so far :) 19:27:26 covid19 shouldn't affect this 19:27:32 * pili goes to check the afk calendar just in case :D 19:27:33 so i can't think of anytihng right now 19:27:38 hehe 19:27:53 if anything less people participating, less likelihood of a chemspill release :P 19:28:05 although I read people can participate remotely this year 19:28:11 ha. yeah, idk 19:28:40 folks i should go afk 19:28:45 just a comment about TBA, i've totally abandoned TBA but i hope back to it this month or next, since sisbell is working with the fenix migration and so on (if im not wrong) 19:28:51 maybe planning together for it after june will be useful 19:28:52 o/ thanks antonela 19:28:58 for your agenda pili 19:29:07 antonela: we will need some ui help from you with fenix :) 19:29:14 at some point... :S 19:29:21 antonela: yep. maybe we should have a meeting about this later in the month 19:29:24 but no new work other than that 19:29:25 yep exactly, so i took notes and i didnt want to forget to mention it to you both 19:29:29 super 19:29:30 thank you :) 19:29:31 thanks folks! 19:29:50 hi tomcat did you have any discussion points or requests for this meeting? :) 19:29:57 I think we have finished all of the other discussion 19:30:29 anyone else is also welcome to bring any points to the meeting 19:30:52 * sysrqb is groot 19:31:37 I'll give a few more minutes and if there is nothing I think we can end this early 19:32:10 :) sounds good to me 19:33:09 ok, let's leave it there then 19:33:11 thanks everyone 19:33:20 #endmeeting
