Reminder: the next SUMO Community meeting…

• …is going to take place on Monday, 30th of November. Join us!
• If you want to add a discussion topic to upcoming the live meeting agenda:
  • Start a thread in the Community Forums, so that everyone in the community can see what will be discussed and voice their opinion here before Monday (this will make it easier to have an efficient meeting).
  • Please do so as soon as you can before the meeting, so that people have time to read, think, and reply (and also add it to the agenda).
