+
+* Bjorn set up some data structures in the internal Wiki
+* Valentin:
+	* Met Eli from Thymis & Johannes from Clan. Discussed the three system architectures with them.
+	* NixOps took some time for them to make it click. Now I know a bit better what we can learn from them, and if and on what we can collaborate. Overlap might be rather small with those projects.
+	* We need to think about how to convey the power of NixOps in such a way that people understand this properly -- it's at a very high level of abstraction (essentially an IO monad for the Nix language), while people typically think in terms of their concrete use cases.
+    * That gap requires some storytelling and didactic techniques to bridge.
+	* Will work on a report & publish it on the website to communicate
+	* Valentin & Bjorn will have a chat tomorrow after standup
+* Gheorghe:
+	* Shared the UML info last Friday
+	* Will work on the financials & get the numbers
+	* Diagram code wants to add a PR
+	* Update the numbers
+* Nicolas:
+	* Wiki e-mail: we need to have a secrets management solution.
+	* No test for PeerTube yet. So I started working on it. Probably finished today
+* Ronny:
+	* Will have a look at Gheorghe's PR.
+* Richard:
+	* Will ask Kevin about his work & check if I can help out
+	* Looking for stuff to work on
+
+* Nicholas opened up the wiki registration so each team member can create their own account today.
+* Nicholas: Make Forgejo send out notifications (Nicholas will do this).

+* Gheorghe:
+	* Completed all internal information for the wiki
+	* Started review of spending this year, will continue today
+* Valentin:
+	* Reviewed workshop notes and started writing something for pusblishing, will continue and finish today
+	* Asking for confirmation to continue working on website infrastructure, since that will be important next year
+* Ronny: Started thinking about data models for the overall system
+* Nicolas:
+	* Collected some issues that may block future work
+		* Large tests still don't run on the CI machines
+	* Ran into a Mastodon bug already that broke tests in the past
+		* Turned out that due to refactoring we merged the sources to all use Nixpkgs 24.05 (stable)
+		* This may question a decision made in the past to base our deployment on stable Nixpkgs releases, as we may end up missing out on relevant updates
+* Koen:
+	* Tried to update peertube in Nixpkgs but the tests failed
+		* Summer of Nix requested an upstream change that may unblock this, which was not addressed yet
+	* Have a backlog from what Bjorn requested
+* Robert:
+	* Discussed application architectures with Thymis and Clan at the hackathon
+		* Found some overlap and potential for collaboration

+* ACTIONS
+  * Koen will write FOSSDEM proposals , Gheorghe/Ronny/Bjorn: review.  Deadline: asap.  
+
+* Nicolas: 
+  * Tuesday is 'half a day no Fediversity'.
+  * Some progress on Peertube tests -> VM that starts.
+  * Differences in different services on the processes on the 'lost password, send e-mail' process.
+
+  * BjornW asks questions about the LFS support. Is it a nice or need to have?
+  * Koen: It is a need to have. We need a single source of truth, and we sometimes have large files/
+  * Valentin: Not taking care of this will let introduce notable friction on a regular basis, e.g. large downloads
+
+* Koen: 
+  * Regarding Nicolas remark on difference ways to create a user in a system: Is there a way to ask package maintainers to use one system for registering users (without emailing) for the different services?
+  * What is the recommended way to deal with this?
+  * Can we send PR's to other projects to use a specific method (unified CLI?).
+  * Backlog work now. 
+
+* Valentin
+  * Would like to fix an algorithmic bug in the website code. Needs a test.
+  * Noticed the website to be redeployed to the old website. Will redeploy with the new version of the website when the bug is fixed and the report finished.
+  * Found a solution for large files in git that does not need manual setup for people working on the repos.
+  * Wants to clean up the Fediversity and meta repo so it is smaller (rewriting history); low priority
+  * Eric recommends to consider other things we may want to get rid of while already doing a breaking change, e.g. removing committed secrets etc.
+
+* Eric:
+  * Available if needed
+
+* Robert:
+  * Working on cleaning up to update NixOS integration
+
+* Richard: 
+  * Available for work 
+  
+* Kevin: 
+  * Available for work     
+  * Looking at migratingVM's from the old to the new environment.
+
+* Gheorghe: 
+  * Tries to get info on hours spent so far on the different work packages
+  * Working on D2.1 & D2.4 WP docs 
+
+* Björn:
+  * Probably pause work on Fediversity during the xmas vacation (2024-12-20 until 2025-01-05; will be confirmed via email).
+  * Look at the team decision process, it's now really adhoc.
