+=Minutes from Web Task Force Meetings=
+==September 23rd, 2010==
+There was interest in this topic and an agreement that the idea of creating a more consistent font style is worth working on. In terms of timing this looked like something to look at more seriously in 2011 due to scheduling issues for the rest of 2010, although we talked about things that could be done now for anyone interested in driving things forward.
+One of the reasons for the delay is that a Mozilla and Firefox brand study is being done now and we should see the results of that before making decisions that could effect logos and sites. Another reason was that web projects for the end of the year are already under way that include the Meta font and we don't want to delay those because of this font discussion.
+In the meantime though, we can do research on available open fonts that might serve some or all of our needs and we can also look into the technical issues with serving an open font in a way that could be re-used widely in the community. Neither of these things depends on what the final font choice will be so we aren't blocked by not knowing the answer to that now (for instance, we can set up a test font and change to a different font later for production use.)
