+## Progress report
+
+Attendees: Koen, Ronny, Valentin, Jean-Luc Dorel (European Commission)
+
+* Working website at fediversity.eu
+* Set up a Git repository
+    * Will be restructured for more clarity
+* Set up Mastodon and Pixelfed, Pixelfed planned
+* Working on deployment automation that will be shared
+* 45 grant proposals for Fediversity projects
+    * 547 total proposals for the NLnet October deadline
+    * It will take until end of December for selection, 4 reviewers
+    * Cannot disclose preliminary survey due to impartiality requirements
+* Koen met Walter (CEO of NORDUnet) and Erik Kikkenborg (our new contact for Fediversity)
+    * Got declarations of intent from 3 universities
+    * Discussed to offer all of the projects in the proposal, as well as
+        * Edumeet
+            * It's quite new but can completely replace BigBlueButton, more open
+            * Developed and adopted by NORDUnet
+            * Allows us to connect Geant, since they're also very interested
+        * EduVPN (https://www.eduvpn.org/client-apps/)
+            * Will help us connect with SURF (https://surf.nl), talked with Wladimir
+        * Nextcloud
+            * The nordics still use Owncloud, this might help them switch to more open software
+    * We may be able to connect the new applications to the fediverse
+        * Recording videos with Edumeet you can publish them on Peertube and publish them in the fediverse
+        * This makes it easier for institutions to see all the projects
+    * Jean-Luc: This sounds like a digression. The project is primarily about the fediverse, please keep that in mind. 
+        * Please document whatever you do and make sure it's reproducible
+    * Koen: These are very important to get the universities on board, and opens up future opportunities to transition them to FOSS and fediverse
+* Changes in personnel:
+    * Matthias left Tweag
+    * Taeer joined the project, will soon leave
+    * Valentin and Nicolas joined recently
+* (brief explanation of the role of Nix and NixOS)
+    * (discussion of advantages and drawbacks of the computational approach Nix takes)
+    * We will nixify the pilot applications
+* We have chosen Proxmox is an intermediate layer to programmatically create virtual machines and virtual networks
+    * There's an NGI-funded project that allows deploying Proxmox with NixOS
+    * This will help involve people who are already hosting with Proxmox
+* Jean-Luc: What about EDPS (https://www.edps.europa.eu)? They could be a downstream "customer" for the project.
+    * They need a data protection impact assessment of Mastodon
+    * Koen: Remy will pick this up
