Leadership:
Lead: Johanna Carll
Junior lead: ?
Planning for next year
still need volunteer for junior lead
no word on a new member for next term, or if there will be one
does this meeting day/time still work for everyone or would another day/time work better? Will only schedule next meeting to accommodate potential new member
Issues from last meeting to roll over to next meeting
Check in on Accession and Basics page editing to identify any outstanding work
Google Sheets for review tracking. Would allow for sorting of the data/information that is being tracked in the spreadsheet.
In Confluence perhaps we should have a parking lot for issues that arise while updating the manual.
