Quick item - there are automated release notes being generated daily. Would the community like them posted to the mailing list? (Bruce)
  - Dean opined that it shouldn't go on the mailing list, it should go to the same place as other build artifacts 
  - Don said there is similar (but differently formatted) changelog info already on CENGN 
      - he provided this sample link after the meeting: http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/20190410T013000Z/outputs/CHANGELOG.txt
  - we agreed that what's on CENGN is sufficient for folks who want to see this per-build update info
