[Rivet] Rivet plans and next monthly meeting -- Mon 3 Sep?

[Andy Buckley]

Indeed, it's a generated file, so we should take it out of the repo. The original source of the typo must be in one of the .info files -- everything comes from there.

I've updated the agenda PDF with a few extra issues. Lots to discuss, so we'll have to be disciplined in the meeting this afternoon. The good news is that that means lots of activity! :-)
