I have a Markdown template for "Minutes of Meeting" that I use for all meetings. I make sure to capture action items and send it to attendance.

I have a git repo called minutes where I save the file under MR_20190325_othercorp.md and push it. Others have access to the repo. I also send an email. The file name year, month, day forces sorting.I also note the gist of the conversation and some points. Rationale. Notes to self about what can be done. But I find action items super important because it allows tracking.
