      • Had a meeting with Kris and Yiming to discuss using Gatsby and Strapi for the Blog feature
      • Currently we are facing an issue of Jankins having 12000 links (now down to 1500 this week), but Antora links differently, with the new linkages which ideally should be automated
      • Will need around 3 more weeks
      • The linkages in Antora are the most daunting task, cannot be automated
      • The linkages need to be checked manually, is semi-automated

    • JMM proposes changing to September 14th, 2023
      • This works for everyone’s schedule

    • Regarding the GitLab modernisation project, Harsh is concerned about the evaluation criteria
    • JMM suggested Harsh to raise the issue with the project mentors
