Hi, 

Every two weeks, I organize a the core dev meeting so the team can sync and discuss ongoing issues. I think it's very important to get together now and then when everyone is working in a decentralized manner. 

I guess I should have made posts the first two times but I wasn't sure if I should publish them here or ask for it to be published to @hiveio. 

Anyways, I think it's better if we keep @hiveio for announcements instead of this kind of things. 

So if you missed them: 

## dev meeting #1:

meeting points:

- Update on what everyone has been doing (On core subjects, work on apps is not the focus)
- Discussion on the workflow using blocktrade's post a baseline read it here if you have not https://hive.blog/hive/@blocktrades/hive-workflow-proposal
- Roles: devs, who can review what, who can deploy what etc...
- Should we have regular scheduled deployments? Automated/manual?
- How do we prioritize issues to be dealt with first?
- Git branching strategy? Maybe a "staging" branch that gets automatically deployed to a staging website upon new merge.

Core blockchain: 
- Scope of hard fork 24
- RC delegation
- RPCS, account history nodes, get_transaction op improvements
- Discuss on SMTs, it's current state and where we are going
- How can we optimize Jussi for better efficiency
brainstorm on what's left to do on libraries
