[California] Annual Report and Annual Meeting

[Michele Tobias]

One question I have is, what do we want to accomplish at this meeting 
and code sprint?  What are the goals?

June 25th could work for me.  I'm working out some travel for research 
in that general time frame, but I think that might work.  I will 
definitely be out of town the following weekend and days surrounding it.

best,
Michele
