## What is this?

We hold a public development meeting pretty much every Tuesday at 5:30pm London time in the #dev channel on Ghost's [slack](https://forum.ghost.org/?ref=ghost.org). In this meeting we discuss progress, important issues, and what is and isn't on [the Roadmap](https://trello.com/b/EceUgtCL/ghost-roadmap?ref=ghost.org). It's a chance for everyone to get involved and have their say about where Ghost goes next.

Hope to see you at next week's meeting: [Tuesday 10th May, 5:30pm London time](https://everytimezone.com/?ref=ghost.org#2016-04-26,270,6bj).
