Thanks to TAC members for recent listserv contributions:

Staff

• Tech Lead – Laney McGlohon starts Monday. She will be managing technical elements – code review, code committers, encouraging more contributions, managing relationship with HM

• New staff - reset with groups; need to review staff and determine which staffer would be the best person to work with each group

Roadmap

• The roadmap is a planning and communication tool to help the community know what to expect in terms of future development work and aid in planning for upcoming releases and application upgrades.   A small team created the initial doc, shared with UAC/TAC; positive comments received about transparency and planning thus far. Feedback welcome.
