TCR:

"Tessel Rust is moving at a decent clip."
Trying to get Rust API near style wanted near 1.0 release.
After RustFest, start a Rust-WG granting commit access to members
t2 init is ready for Rust - Rust BLE module in development
Node 6.5.0 is running relatively successfully on Tessel-OpenWRT so far, more testing needed by committee members.
Node 6 support has landed in the CLI
expand storage options, more context needed with Jon and how it could work.

Rick

hard-blocker for Node 6.5.0 support related to binary-module compilation.
started working with Francis (@reconbot) on updating t2-compiler for Node 6 support (mostly busy work right now)
(compiler bugs / npm 3 edge case) Edge case directly hits J5 users but not often in other packages. Mainly problem in flat directory installation. Working on it intensely before Node 6 moves to LTS.

Kelsey

Learning-WG: @visciouspest is very interested, continually digging into documenting industrial use cases and production/productized Tessel stories.
@visciouspest has brought in a new community member and inspired more conversation about how to improve the learning experience.
no direct work being done yet but the discussions are moving that way. Maybe a learning-wg meeting should be organized.
