@Peter Pinch

DRAFT PR for release notes

• Thank you @Kyle McCormick for updating the docs on Migrating to Persistent Grading! It would be reassuring to hear from BTR members who have tried this upgrade as part of an Olive update. Maybe @Matjaz Gregoric ?

• The major components of the release notes are in the draft PR now (RTD build). The only remaining thing for me to do is read through the commit history for any feature commits that haven’t already been addressed.

• What should the release notes say about MFE runtime configuration?

Organizational topics

@Adolfo Brandes

1. Refining the role of the chair and finding a new one for the Palm release cycle

2. In last week’s Contributor’s meeting the idea of somehow unifying the BTR, DevExp, and a potential new DevOps working group under one roof was raised. The argument is that these three areas of concern have enough common goals that it will be in everybody’s best interest to introduce some connective tissue between them.
