About
- Quick update about what we have been working on and eventually the problems we have run into.
- Discussion about the implementation details of tickets we are planning to work on. Figure out how to split up the work and who should be owning the various parts.
- Questions from activity authors about specific aspects of the platform and more in general on how to better integrate their activity in Sugar. Report about problems they run into.
- Help out new contributors to figure out where to start. Point out the tickets we need help with, discuss with them the implementation.

Who
The meeting is mainly targeted to Sugar core and activity developers, but everyone interested is welcome to join. It's primary purpose is to try to open up a bit the development, make it more transparent and allow the community to participate more easily.
