I can't think of any 14:56:39 sounds good 14:58:25 well, we are coming up to the top of the hour.. is there anything else before we wrap up? 14:59:46 is our next meeting the 1st of March? 15:00:01 yeah, March 1st 15:00:18 I should start announcing that here, now that I think about it 15:00:53 #info next meeting will be Thursday 3/1/18, 2pm EST/ 11am PST 15:01:07 #endmeeting
