Design meeting summary February 22

Housekeeping

• Needs discussion cards – Between meetings anyone is welcome to jump into TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing. to review the cards marked as needs discussion. The intention is that we will only discuss these cards async until they’re ready for the meeting. (https://trello.com/b/fnHScayo/design-team?menu=filter&filter=label:Needs%20discussion)

Calls for design
