Please fill in activity for _Last Month_ and intended activity for _This Month_ for projects you are responsible for. For reference the intended activity for _Last Month_ as reported at the _May_ development meeting is included (it is considered unhelpful to alter this to match what actual activity was :). It is acceptable to change devproj milestones as part of this process, however if you do please indicate that you have done so below, for example by adding a _Change of Plan_ bullet point, so that the meeting is alerted to the changes.
