Pharo 40 June meeting

Hi guys

We run the first checkpoint meeting around meeting with the team at rmod
and
we analysed why we did not get public sprints and regular hangouts.
We were tired I guessed. Now we will have a public calendar with the
next 6 months of planified
events. The calendar will be (may be it is already) added to the web site.

Since the team is reorganizing itself and its priority here is a report
of our analysis for the first iteration.
If you have resources and you want to get an impact please join and let
us know.
