* Octave 7.2
* Fosshost and hosting updates?
** jwe indicated a release is imminent
* VM updates
** Presentations by mnabipoor and Petter
** Both efforts will move forward
** Need to define VM language
* Fosshost and hosting updates
** Kai presented details of migration and documentation of the migration process
* [https://github.com/gnu-octave/MinusForge MinusForge] to finally move to Octave Packages with <code>pkg install -forge</code>
** Timeline to deprecate https://octave.sourceforge.org.
** Kai presented this new mechanism to obtain "pkg install -forge" functionality for GitHub packages in addition to SourceForge, en route to leaving SourceForge
* GSOC status/progress check-in
** Openlibm support from Julia team may be faltering.  Is it worth continuing to try and integrate this cross-platform library?
*** See discussion at [https://octave.discourse.group/t/point-of-openlibm-project-or-if-even-julia-wants-to-shift-away-from-openlibm-do-we-want-to-use-it/2980]
** What about other workarounds in Octave for cross-platform issues (e.g., gnulib, Autoconf tests + workarounds in Octave code)?  How much should Octave do versus relying on programmer to have a reasonable environment?
* Follow up on implementing classdef classes in C++
** jwe presented updates on the classdef functionality.

*** Drop the builder from the buildbot configuration.
*** Don't '''actively''' remove support for native builds from MXE Octave. But don't spend too much time maintaining it. Maybe at some later time, someone will step up to maintain it again.
* Timeframe for Octave 7.2 release?

*** For the time being, GSoC students should use a public service for their fork.
** Short summary: Octave got one x86_64 server instance '''(2 cores, 4 GB memory, 500 GB HDD)''', useful as webserver probably?!

* How to implement a classdef class in C++ code only?
** Why is the classdef implementation so complicated? Does it need to be?
** @carandraug and @Maged will look into this for their GSoC project. Pointers welcome.
** Maybe, some kind of documentation could be a result of the GSoC project.
