Public minutes need to be established. Jason will create a place in the EC team compass for our weekly public minutes
Reviewed options for publishing minutes on GH
POV of non engineer - GH is not user friendly, can be confusing
Maintainer Summit - Jason attended
Jason feels like we have GH’s ear about feedback we want to give about functionality and features. If we encounter issues we should keep that in mind. Figure out what our top ask is if we want to submit.
