- What would be a good format for this? I've got a blog post rattling around, but also want to pitch some ideas to the group, some for general consumption, some for just members. Short gist: I can "lead" once a month, but lead should be defined. If we're going to claim A&C occurs weekly, then other folks need to volunteer to pick up other evenings. (Adam)
- Discussion around this point was that we should build a format that has people sharing code and working on projects collaboratively. We all feel that Adam has a point about "needing" other people to lead and that
