Summary:

• we did a couple of temperature checks, to see what the main direction of the publication could be (votes are on the pad)
• we made a Zulip stream (you should be added to it) and @usergroups that can be used to communicate between groups
• we formed publication groups (production groups for the publication), they can be found at the top of the wiki page (this one)! These groups are not static, you can move or join a group at any time. Just add yourself to the list on the wiki page, and ping me (Manetta) to adjust the usergroups on Zulip
