Notes and non-voice status updates that aren't part of the live meeting go here.

Chris Heilmann: I put together a blog post outlining how to communicate to the outside world without becoming a target for misquotes or attacks. Please have a read. I am also happy to help anyone who wants to say something but feels intimidated or unhappy to do it publicly. This is a time to stand strong and together and not give people wrong quotes. It is not a time to be silent when you are unhappy. Have a read, it has a cute baby bat.
