Re: [kernelci-members] KernelCI working group: Web Dashboard

["Gustavo Padovan" <gustavo.padovan@collabora.com>]

Hello everyone,

**

*From our first meeting back in October[1], we took the action of 
organizing our user stories that you were spread as a comments in the 
the github issue{2} and, converting them into User Stories document[3].*

*

In the next meeting, we want to study the current User Stories and start 
discussions to progress on development. The proposed slots are for next 
week. Please answer the doodle by the end of this week:

Best regards,

Gustavo
