Feb 9th - Weekly Meeting Agenda Items

For the dev meeting: it would be great to get some further feedback on https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/5903 ("seven_admin_page() ignores block position as set in the menu item") to move the issue along. (Ideally early in the meeting, because I'll have to leave 30 minutes  in.)

For the Dev meeting: I'm looking for ideas to jazz up the blog post for Release 1.24.  I've outlined it based on the "release paragraph" fields of the included issues on the release page, and I've been reading through the issues to try to get a flavor for the significance of the changes, but I could use some help with understanding the impact of the changes.

Also: ideas for screencaps or images that could illustrate some of them would be great!
