Today's topics[edit]

Progress update on GSoC projects

Octave 9.2 release: successfully released last month
Traffic for Digital Ocean servers:

Moderation of mailing lists for bug tracker, patch tracker, and task tracker?
- Ask users to answer on the Savannah interface if they answer by email. Or copy their answer to the reports on Savannah manually.
- Currently jwe is the only moderator for the mailing lists for the notifications from savannah. Markus is willing to help with moderation.
- We prefer to not have the notifications moderated by the GNU volunteer group.
- For the help and maintainers mailing list, jwe, Jordi, and the GNU volunteer group are moderators currently.
Separate library for C mex interface?
- No objections to create new library liboctmex (with potentially less frequent SOVERSION bumps to increase compatibility of .mex files between Octave version s).
