 * Future of buildbot.octave.space: https://octave.discourse.group/t/future-of-buildbot-octave-space/3993
+** Current worker will go down some time in March.
+** @jwe or @pr0m1th3as will check together with Kai if they could provide hardware that could be used as a replacement worker.
+** Minimum requirement for worker: ~ 1 GiB storage per "flavor". "Fast enough" to build all "flavors" in 24 hours.
+** Plan is to check @jwe's machine first. If upload speed is an issue, continue to check with @pr0m1th3as' machine.
 * Future of packages being maintained at sourceforge.net: https://octave.discourse.group/t/are-there-still-any-maintainers-for-octave-forge/4002
+** Package index has already switched to GitHub.
+** Documentation is still hosted on SourceForge.
+** @pr0m1th3as proposed to suggest maintainer of packages that are hosted on SourceForge to move to GitHub.
+** @cbm and @jwe mentioned that we should try to keep the risk of "vendor-lock-in" at a commercial service in mind.
 * Octave accepted to GSOC 2023
+** Students can apply 20th of March to 4th of April 2023.
+** Unclear who is mentoring.
+** It was agreed to remove (HTML comment) all projects from the GSoC Wiki page and ask potential mentors to only (re-)add those projects that they are able to see through this year.
 * Discourse display and connection issues
+** Multiple users have issues connecting to the side or get strangely formatted layout.
+** Arun will contact Discourse support desk.
+* Octave 8.1
+** Decision to release Octave 8.1 shortly.
