I'd suggest an additional topic:

Status Desktop must-haves

context:
As we plan on using Status Desktop internally instead of Slack, we need to agree on what features we must have working in order to not have a detrimental impact on team performance.

goals:
Collect a list of features that can be implemented in a reasonable amount of time and will satisfy 90+% of use cases.

Swarm and PSS integration and Whisper future

context:

During EthBerlin I had the opportunity to talk with Louis, the main pss developer and Guillaume in charge of Whisper at the EF.
Guillaume would like us to try out his branch of go-ethereum where Whisper over libp2p can be tested out with a switch.
Louis was asking if we had any plans for pursuing the development of swarm light client and explained to me how we could start using pss on mobile withtout swarm sync.
As we plan on using Status Desktop internally instead of Slack, we might soon need file sharing capabilities. Desktop having more resources than mobile we will be able to dabble with Swarm and pss to see if it will be a good fit functionnality wise.

goals:

Check if we agree on experimenting with swarm and pss on desktop
Check if we have resources to contribute to swarm light client development (which is almost stalled at the moment)
