One way to make it more accessible for posterity is to run a daily task on builds.apache.org that runs a bot subscribed to the slack channel, pulls all conversations and deploys to some place like mynewt.apache.org/slack... I double anyone would ever access that but at least it's in the open instead of requiring people to join the channel, and it's logged forever... > > Sterling > > On 20 Jun 2019, at 23:08, Justin Mclean wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > There a couple of minor concerns that have been raised by the last > > board report: > > 1.
