+Two weeks ago, the lang team held its February planning meeting ([minutes]). We hold these meetings on the first Wednesday of every month.
+
+The planning meeting is used for:
+
+* Checking in on the status of our [active initiatives][active-initiatives]
+* Planning the design meetings for the remainder of the month
+
+After each meeting, we post an update (like this one!) with notes and meeting announcements.

+
+## Update from active initiatives
+
+We didn't have any updates from initiatives this week and in fact are thinking of changing our
+"update" structure to integrate into the regular triage meeting. For the time being, though, you
+can check in on the progress of any active initiatives you're interested in by visiting the [active initiatives][active-initiatives] project board, which is also a great way to get a summary of the
+major goings on of the Lang team.
+
+## Upcoming design meetings
+
+We have planned the following design meetings:
+
+* February 23: Never type next steps ([lang-team#141][lang-team-141])
+
+## Design meeting expectations
+
+* The document for the meeting must be prepared by the triage meeting on Tuesday and posted to the tracking issue.
+    * If it is not sent out by then, the meeting will be canceled. This gives folks 24 hour notice.
+* There is no expectation that people will read the document before the meeting. The meeting will begin with a recap of the document.
+    * However, there is no rule **against** reading the document beforehand and providing feedback or advice on how to improve it.
