+Attendees: @fricklerhandwerk @niols @kiara
+
+- @fricklerhandwerk
+    - almost completed the data model up to deployment, including a test
+        - @kiara fixed up some typos and evaluation errors
+        - remaining is to mold `nixops4Deployment` into a type that is accepted
+    - started compiling the mid-term technical report
+    - will pause work on the data model until that's done (next week)
+- @niols worked on extracting a minimal flake for the test
+    - (discussed how to handle lazy/strict source closures)
+- @kiara
+    - tried containerizing the CI but it didn't work out yet
+        - setting up a cache may improve turnaround time by a lot
+        - will pair with @niols the week after next
+    - tried patching the workflow to enable automatic dependency updates, made small progress
+        - we can do dependency bumps manually for now
+    - will pause work on CI until the technical report is done
