Agenda

 

Need to have some information from crops ahead of meeting - maybe a slide or 2 or fill out a confluence page describing technologies used, issues etc

Should we be sharing to a wider audience to increase awareness?

Have topics by theme rather than for a specific tool ie share knowledge of all available tools
