Changes to the Community Meeting

We’re trying out something new for a few weeks, we’ve removed our updates from the Community Meeting and made it an open floor instead.

Have something on your mind?

https://www.gluster.org/community/ has details to join the Community Meeting if you’ve never come by. We’d love to have you!
