    • Mauritus did an amazing job coordinating

    • The Plone Foundation thanks you for your efforts!

    • Zope typically generates new packages not usually hotfixes

      • Zope culture is slightly different from Plone
      • Now single security team for Plone and Zope, better coordination is required
      • Zope team needs to be made aware of upcoming hotfixes, they have been added to the security team communication checklist
    • Security hotfix testing needs to be better organized, Chrissy will work with 6FU to provide testing sites

    • Security Team overview and review

      • Will Plone 6 with more JS, REST API need more specialized security folks
      • Volto team will help respond, maybe some of our community can become more involved
      • Andy will talk to Guillotina team to gauge interest

  • @collective namespace in NPM is taken, but with 0 packages

    • Victor will inquire if there's some willingness to provide that namespace

Continued Business

  • Andy is still kicking the can down the road re: revamping the contributor agreement

Review Ongoing

  • Marketing Team report

    • Plone 6 naming is hard, topic for PLOG maybe
    • We are missing ~60% of languages in Plone 6
    • Volto has been translated to 11-12 languages
    • New leader for I18N team lead, Mikel should be involved

    • Can we revamp translations, modernize them maybe?
