Meeting Minutes - 11/21/19

IOUs from Code.gov - collected at the meeting

  1. There was a request for a Slack channel for communication among the CoP outside the listserv. We use 18F Slack (really TTS now) and our channel is #code-gov-partners. Anyone with a .gov and .mil can join. Send a message to Amin Mehr ([email protected]) requesting to be added to the channel.
  2. Peter Meyer's email ([email protected]) for those interested in participating in the Software Productivity and Quality Working Group.
  3. As requested, here is the agency liaison list. Please keep me ([email protected]) and Amin ([email protected]) updated on required changes (a PR works too!).
