Hi,

for HTML version, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Scrum_of_scrums/2019-09-25

Since I have received one positive piece of feedback on my link shortening experiment, and no negative feedback, this week's meeting notes have short links. You can see what was shortened here:

I'm still open to feedback. :)
