Editor's Notes
- #2 Good morning everybody - welcome back to day two of Scripting Life.

- #3 Primary goals Introductions Share our contributions & roles (ViBRANT is complex) Highlight admin. & legal obligations Medium term-planning

EVERYONE IN A WP ON STAGE IN ORDER OF SPEAKING Naturally we want to start and end the day with the most exciting presentations. Unfortunately that wasn’t possible so I’m very pleased to welcome Gemma Maldar…
