+
+
+## Status update (Efraim)
+
+  - last release 1 year old
+  - installer
+    - working okay
+    - does not cater to the needs of power users (e.g., btrfs on encrypted)
+    - problems when choosing EXWM
+    - allow choosing the Hurd?
+  - substitute availability is good for x86_64
+    - currently 98% or so
+    - qa.guix gives a summary
+    - 32-bit support is in a poor state
+    - idea: estimate i686 substitute usage using server logs?
+    - is ARMv7 (32-bit, armhf-linux) used at all?
+  - onboarding
+    - "not a lot of projects are doing email patches"
+    - people maintain their own stack of patches they don't submit
+    - "we need to do something on our side"
+  - teams
+    - "nice but not perfect", "mostly working"
+    - what about patches with no associated teams?
+    - Rust team is just Efraim
+  - sysadmin
+    - small bus factor
+    - Chris in charge qa.guix, data.guix, etc.
+    - berlin was building slowly early January: needed to vacuum the
+      posgresql database
+  - we're moving faster
+    - #5 on Repology
+    - we should talk more about package availability
+  - time traps
+    - "virtual build machine" service to address that
+    - could be used for 2038 bug testing
+    - RISC-V builds broke with some kernel update
+  - SWH
+
+## Guix Quality assurance update (Chris Baines)
+
+  - architecture diagram
+  - entry points: https://qa.guix.gnu.org/patches,
+    https://qa.guix.gnu.org/reproducible-builds
+  - question about “slowness” of builds
+    - could use a different prioritirization method
+    - could add more hardware
+    - https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org/activity -> it’s busy :-)
+
+## Actions
+
+- TBD
