Meeting notes

Aaron Williamson: Ok, our first two agenda items are for people who aren’t in attendance, so Johan, any update on use cases?

Johan Sandersson: No update this time, I would just encourage people to reach out if they have use cases to discuss.

Aaron Williamson: Paul, any general update from Symphony LLC?

Paul Teyssier: Not much of an update. We are very busy on object side. I was hoping to talk about the API guidelines and where to go.

Peter Monks: Aaron, I wonder if maybe Dan didn’t receive the recurring calendar invite.

Paul Teyssier: He did, but I am managing resources here and told him he probably wasn’t needed this time.

Aaron Williamson: Any other business?

Paul Teyssier: No, but I think we should connect with Anthony offline to discuss why attendance has been low.

Aaron Williamson: Agreed.
