Conclusion

There was a great working spirit amongst the attendees. We reached far more than I as team lead expected. The media manager is now in a very good shape and should be merged soon into the Joomla 4 branch, to be part of the first alpha version. We got also a lot of feedback on the Joomla day which we will consider for the next milestone.
