[OH-Dev] Doing "releases" again

Wed Aug 7 18:37:00 UTC 2013

Hi everyone! Great ideas on the release meeting. Britta, thanks for the
work on the release page. I couldn't make the meeting but the release page
was a great snapshot of what's going on. Count me in on helping with
better documentation on the bug importer. I've been playing around with
Scrapy as time permits. If I can get to the google fix while caring for my
mom, I will claim the bug. Thanks!

Carol

P.S. For those of you that I have not met yet, I look forward to working
with you. For those I met at AdaCamp SF or OSCON, I hope you are well :)
