Agenda

Full agenda TBD.

The goal of this event will be to resolve some of the open issues that were discussed at our cloud sprint last year and the Cloud BoF at Debconf17 ( Video, Summary)).

We also want to get more work done on the plans we agreed last year - there's still a lot of ideas waiting to be implemented.

For reference, please take a look at SteveMcIntyre's excellent sprint report from last year: https://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2016/11/msg00100.html and the summary of the Cloud Team BoF at DC17

Skype or Google Hangout

Might Signal Private Messenger be a better alternative to Skype or Google Hangout?

Aftermath

We had a great meeting and some excellent work came out of it. We took notes in gobby. SteveMcIntyre has promised to send a summary to the relevant lists soon-ish.
