Stand-up Notes from Berlin / 9 July 2012


While P2PU is spending a month in Berlin in July, we’ll be keeping you up-to-date with what we’re working on by posting notes from our daily standups. Everyday at 10am our team meets for 15 minutes to discuss what we did yesterday, what we’re working on today, and any blockers or dependencies we need to work through. Today’s notes were taken by Alan.
