      - Created a job, ran the job, watched it run on the agent
      - Installed a plugin, confirmed it worked, saw that the agent and controller were Debian

  - Building [jenkins.io](http://jenkins.io) with alternate tools - [prototype site](https://vandit1604.github.io/jenkins-ui-project/)
    - New pull request has been submitted for the solutions pages
    - Minor work on the main site to fix redirections

- Open pull requests of interest
  - Administering Jenkins on Kubernetes from Tanuj Sharma
    - [PR-6474](https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins.io/pull/6474) proposes an outline, needs review from those who know Kubernetes
      - Jenkins on Kubernetes rather than Administering Jenkins on Kubernetes

        - Include the “Configuration Management” info in this section

      - Link from installation page to this new configuration page
      - Review and correct content in the Kubernetes install pages
