## Old Business
- javascript stickybar fix in limbo.

### rrq
- beta2 about to be trialled; bpmedley is preparing them and is setting
up the trial download spot. This includes "at least min-base" pools +
jfsutils + beowulf-security packages. Improved i18n to come.


## Old Actions

### fsmithred
- I have more copy for release notes. Needs polish.


## New Business
- Thankfully, a quiet April 1. (LeePen) I second that!
- We just passed one million 1,002,159

- Understanding exponential growth: https://youtu.be/54XLXg4fYsc
- Trends as a follow-up: https://aatishb.com/covidtrends

### LeePen

#### ceres/chimaera
- /etc/os-release now has ID=Devuan in base-files 11+devuan2.
- Working through packaging updates: packagekit, procps, util-linux,
udisks2, popularity-contest and rsyslog done; amesser is working
on apt.
- britney controlled ceres->chimaera migrations working. I am running
the script manually at the moment just to check what it is doing.
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/britney
- Working on adding automatic bug closing to dak add_pkg script.
Requires outgoing SMTP. Evilham has proposed an OpenLDAP/SMTP/IMAP
installation to replace dyne. Or we can expand the existing postfix
on backup which is only serving localhost at the moment.

### plasma41
- The current versions of `init` and `init-system-helpers` in beowulf
are `1.56+devuan1`. There are newer versions, `1.56+nmu1+devuan2`,
in beowulf-proposed-updates. This is the same version as in chimaera
and ceres. Should this version be migrating into beowulf or should
beowulf-proposed-updates be cleared out and just wait for chimaera?
- (LeePen, paraphrased) Leave as is. Maybe for a point release.


## New Actions
- Final revision of Release Notes
- Fix locales and glyphs in installer
- Wording for mini.iso <arch>
