TeleIRC (@jwf)
- Done:
- Developer meeting took place yesterday
- First few handlers are being written now that Go code is mostly stable
- Roughly on target
- Doing:
- Writing more handlers
- Expanding CI coverage for Go code
- Concerns:
- Writing unit tests for handlers; doable but likely will be trickier than writing the actual handlers
Foss-profiles (@kennedy)
- First Jekyll site is published, hooray!
- Would help to scope out next steps and future goals
Foss-profiles stories
Stories are how we brainstorm new ideas for a project. We came up with some โstoriesโ to help us plan out what new tasks we take on for the Foss-profiles project.

- Integrate with FOSS website
- Ability to add profile pictures / icon for people
- Gravatar research?
- Show icons for git forges / social profiles
- Alphabetical sort
- Needs a little research
- Search bar
- Automate moving students to alums
