[SeasonOfDocs] GeoNetwork Docs meeting notes

Sun Feb 23 04:17:24 PST 2020

Hi Bryon,

I just put your tutorial in a Google doc so people could comment and
provide feedback
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I8h6_O2kikna-HUjWM_-iK9yVL8CM3OQyl0sytpoTKI/edit?usp=sharing
The images don't load, but I am assuming you have these?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Swapnil
