        * follow up with javascript idea: https://github.com/PlasmaPy/plasmapy.github.io/issues/111
* Documentation build was failing with new release of Sphinx
    * Erik made a namedtuple as a property which fixed it somehow
    * Would be useful to do a test build of docs with development version of Sphinx
    * This check would be a good candidate for a CRON job
    * Need an annoying way of notifying us when the test fails so we don't ignore it
        * Probably change GitHub notifications to send emails
* Plasma Hack Week
    * Erik is working on cutting first video
        * Has access to Adobe Something Or 'Nother (Pro Version!1) via UCLA
        * Should go faster after learning
        * Dominik is able to work on this soon too
    * Dominik asked about lightning talks, but a few preferred not to have them available but wanted the video for themselves if possible. One person was that they'd like to see the video first
        * Can upload video first as unlisted video
* 0.7.0
    * aim for 16-23 Aug
    * Diagnostics
        * #1173 (bugfix) and #1134 for 0.7.0
        * #1123 (would be nice but lower priority)
        * Thomson will wait until 0.8.0
    * #1159: fix binder links
* We triaged open pull requests and updated milestones according to consensus.
