Delegated web dashboard review to gaba/anarcat sync on Thursday. We noticed we don't have the sponsor work in the roadmap page, we'll try to fix this shortly.
# Vacations planning
Discussed the impact of the unlimited PTO policy which, counter-intuitively, led some team member to schedule less vacation time. There are concerns that the overlap between anarcat and lavamind during the third week of july could lead to service degradation or delays in other deliverables. Both lavamind and anarcat have only scheduled "PTO" (as opposed to "AFK") time, so will be available if problems come up.
There should probably be a discussion surrounding how emergencies and availabilities are managed, because right now it falls on individuals to manage this pressure and it can lead to people taking up more load than they can tolerate.

The completion date is still incorrect, but at least it moved ahead in time (but is still passed).
