What did we talk about

This was our usual chat meeting to collect ideas and find out what everyone's going to write for the March issue. Like every month I'm amazed and humbled by the never ending stream of ideas our authors come up with. We have a good number of great article proposals in the issue plan for March.  

The meeting lasted a little under an hour.
