        open for the remainder of this week.
      * Voting will begin March 29.
      * Discussions:
         - [@melindhelt](https://profiles.wordpress.org/melindhelt/) pointed out that
           this is basically three, really large sections to teach and would it be 
           better to focus on one section at a time.
         - [@chanthaboune](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chanthaboune/) mentioned 
           that the focus before was a vertical intro (as it should have been) and 
           maybe we should think of the other tiers more horizontally.
         - [@skarjune](https://profiles.wordpress.org/skarjune/) noted that the skill
           set required for tier 2 is much larger/deeper than tier 1.
            * There was general consensus that we don’t have to train from tier to 
              tier; there will be additional learning required outside these lessons.
            * Also looped around to the idea of prerequisites and how to identify those
              properly.
 10. Open question time
 11.  * [@skarjune](https://profiles.wordpress.org/skarjune/) has concerns about consistency
        within the style guide/lessons following the style guide.
         - [@bethsoderberg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bethsoderberg/) agrees that
           there are inconsistencies and asked him to keep track of where they are 
           being seen so we can wrangle/update them.
      * [@juliekuehl](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juliekuehl/) asked what other 
        groups were hoping to use the lesson plans that we’re aware of
         - WPDC is planning to have a whole series built around them.
         - WEB DuBois Learning Center in Kansas City
         - Wonder Women Tech
         - Hack the Hood
         - Ladies Learning Code
         - DCFemTech
         - Girl Develop It in Pittsburgh

We’ve been so busy, but doing some really solid work. Congratulations to everyone
on the team, and enjoy your holiday if you have one coming up this weekend!
