[Board] board f2f planning / prep

[Vasile Craciunescu]

Dear all,

Like Maxi, I don't see the need for an external facilitator. Anyway, the 
meeting agenda is extremely important. Let's start working on that. The 
wiki page for the meeting [1] already include the general topics. Please 
add your specific topics and let's try to allocate a time frame for each 
topic.

Best,
Vasile
