      Everybody happy with current format.

4. Unfinished business / Status updates

   1. Dnn 9.2.2 RC update GO / NO GO
      We are now at RC2 ? Oliver setup a google form to collect who tested what. Will move to the community google drive so everybody can improve the process. No major showstoppers on 9.2.2 RC2 build 177 currently. Default.aspx checksum needs to be updated. EVOQ testing will be done and if everything is fine the release date will be September 26th…

   2. Security Analyser:
      The security analyser check for richtext in profile should be an alert not a fail in the future. We should add running the security analyser as a testing step in the testing form.

   3. Do we dedicate a meeting every 6 weeks to specifically discuss long term goals.
      We will create an agenda item to park the long term projects discussions. First date will be 23rd October and then every 6 weeks going forward.

   4. Do we implement something to collect a global idea of availabilities (vacations, etc.), last meeting this went on a tangent with milestones, tags, projects, assigning people to issues, etc. What do we do for vacations?
      We will add a “community in progress” tag to mark issues being worked on by a community member. Community members working on issues should comment they have started work in the issue comment. A team member will assign the user and tag.
