@mhdawson, I wonder to know, why we changed the time that we concluded from Best Meeting Time for Highest Attendance #225

[wesleytodd]

@SathishGajendran I made a comment at the end of that thread which might effect this decision. I would for sure say that until we actually settle on an agreement (which maybe should be on this meeting agenda), we don't make changes to the previous time and keep Monday.

[wesleytodd]

As mentioned at the end of the meeting, we are going to discuss the WG requests for top issues, as well as how we can improve release automation: expressjs/discussions#85
