     • Posts minutes (if we switch to video meetings, keep notes).
  4. Community in-reach
     • Liaisons with various groups of Inkscape's internal community (developers, translators, etc.).
     • Hackfest coordinator (Aids hackfest organizers deal with logistics, SFC rules, etc.).

Deferred Agenda

• Next Hackfest
• Need someone to handle escalated complaints re CoC, since Krzysztof Kosiński has resigned. Hopefully someone with training or experience with conflict resolution or mediation. Not much time needed, probably would never happen, but need to be ready just in case. Currently it's vacant.
