Absent: -


Foundation Discussion
=====================

The foundation wasn't discussed since an AGM is upcoming with no new updates.


Open bugs with council involvement
==================================

Bug 936517 - Social Contract update
-----------------------------------

Marked as resolved.


Bug 936914 - ARM64 server replacement
-------------------------------------

Acquiring a replacement for our current jiji.arm.dev.gentoo.org host. We have
not heard back from WorksOnArm. Other options such as Gigabyte, SuperMicro or
Nvidia's Grace are considered impractical for our purposes. Sam will reach out
to ARM contacts.


Bug 801499 - Nitrokey 3 upgrade
-------------------------------

Nitrokey 3's quality is considered unacceptable. Soap will contact Yubico for
sponsorship or price quotes, while Robbat2 will ask on SPI lists about similar
initiatives.


Bug 925014 - PR services redundancy
-----------------------------------

A shared Mastodon account was created, and no further action was required.


Open floor
==========

arthurzam updated the council on a number of arches:

- alpha/23.0 is a stable profile now.
- ppc64-32bit userland profiles are gone, arthurzam will do more ppc64 cleanups.
- ia64 is deprecated and will be removed on 2024-09-07.

MIPS was discussed more, and splitting into distinct variants was brought up
but no action was taken.
