      - Low tier payment plan that blocks many of the functions that we need

    - Mark has some preferences to revert, though not super strong preference
    - If the issues were fixed in a day or two, would have preferred to push forward

  - Mark will revert and we’ll attempt a series of small changes

- Google Summer of Code
  - In progress, all 4 projects are progressing, mid-term presentation

- Forums and community topics - Gavin Mogan

    - Should we have email automatically to the Jenkins developer list?
      - Discourse to docs goes to SIG Docs

    - Mark prefers (for now) to not automatically post from community to Jenkins developers
      - Gavin post manually initially, automate if it works well

    - Example of one I manually emailed. Good discussions so far - [Indicating breaking changes in plugins with automated releases - #6 by chriskilding](https://community.jenkins.io/t/indicating-breaking-changes-in-plugins-with-automated-releases/3285/6)
    - Thanks [ullrich.hafner@gmail.com](mailto:ullrich.hafner@gmail.com) for stepping in a lot

  - Press contacts email receives lots of spam
    - Press contacts not active in the project (kk, tyler, …)
    - Postman came as an advocacy / partnership discussion
    - Should redirect those inquiries to the board?
