Hello,

Here is a short summary of the network team meeting from Monday the 18th of November:

1) We started out by looking at the 0.4.2 status page on Trac to see how we are doing there. Everybody should go over their 0.4.2 tickets and figure out which ones they want to do for 0.4.2 or postpone them to 0.4.3.

2) We went over our Kanban board.

3) Gaba will send out an email about roadmapping in December.

4) We went over our review queue.

5) We talked about our C code style survey.

6) Nobody had anything else to discuss this week :-)
