[Minutes] [2016-06-28] Best wishes to decause, postponing vFAD, focusing on Flock, on-boarding, and more

[Justin W. Flory]

Hey all, started doing this in some other meeting minutes and thought I 
would start here too. I'll do a brief written summary of the meeting, 
and you can get the rest of the details in the links or minutes below!

Today's meeting featured 13 participants and lasted about a 1hr 20min. 
We sent our best wishes out to decause as he begins his new journey in 
the FOSS world. We also covered topics like our vFAD and planning for 
the CommOps workshop at Flock. We have decided to postpone our vFAD and 
refocus efforts on planning the Flock workshop in August. We also 
covered the next steps for helping sub-projects / teams with their 
on-boarding process. CommOps should be closing out soon, and Modularity 
is up next.

See more about what happened today below!

     arrives to assist with planning. Instead of the vFAD, we will shift
     our planning efforts over to focusing on our workshop at Flock,
     working on getting resources together for it, and putting together
     an agenda for what will happen in the window. Hopefully also finding
     a way for remote contributions from those who can't at  (jflory7_,

   * IDEA: I wanted to borrow something from the Marketing release
     schedule for CommOps. At the end of every Fedora release, the
     Marketing team writes a retrospective about how they felt things
     went during the release, what worked well, what didn't work so well,
     what can be improved, things that were awesome and worth noting,
     etc. I'd like to do something similar to this for CommOps to see how
     we, as contributors, felt about how this release went.  (jflory7_,
