Hi folks! So sorry to miss the meeting!

Quick update from my end:

* met with the designer to talk through Doctopus logo options. Should have
something in ~two weeks
* my legal meeting was rescheduled to Friday, will send update after that


I am OOO at an offsite event next Tuesday, I have sent the meeting
invitation and will do my best to attend!

Thanks again!
