Community Meeting Recap (Jan 27th)

Sorry for the tardiness on this one folks. I meant to write it up after the meeting last week and it just kept slipping my mind each day.

This week we focused on the Postlaunch Milestone in GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/. This milestone collects all the issues that need to be resolved since the audio and redesign launched.
