      • will do before PyCon! so it can be talked about at PyCon if needed
    • @JUpani & @BethanyG to sort comment threads into categories
      simple response vs simple updates to doc vs we should have a discussion and sort out topic/question

      • next steps: sort out action items; need to establish which of the policies we should tackle next
      • @JUpani and @BethanyG to meet to tackle together
  • @econchick reached out to OSS legal contact - no response yet
• new website status
  • energy behind this has dwindled
  • new repo for new site to be merged into a branch of the old site
  • @BethanyG to figure out what can be done in a sprint @ PyConUS
    • mostly it's content that is needed (photos, chapter logos, new "pyladies of note" posts), most of the design implementation is done
