Hi Team,
The BoF for Android team is scheduled for Thursday, August 27, 2020, at 14:00 UTC to 14:45 UTC. [1]
Since both the teams have almost similar work areas and are facing the same blockers now, it will be glad if you all can join us.
We are almost on the verge of finishing kotlin(v1.3.30) and Gradle(v.6.4.1.). Please feel free to add agendas and suggestions for the BoF.
Below is the paste for the same. Also, I have added a gobby document by the name android-tools under /debconf20/bof. [2]
Please add any more suggestions on the document or reply to this mail.
I hope to see you all on August 27th :D
