No worries. glibc does that every 9 months or so. We really have no
intention to discuss any of that. I really appreciate you trying to
resolve that issue. But it has been going on for so long that most
people just want to get back to work.

The monthly Sourceware Open Office meeting is for simple technical
coordination. In this case about setting up some buildbots (for GDB),
hooking up the patchwork CI/CD curator (and maybe some of the
buildbots). Investigate bugspray, a public-inbox bugzilla integrator. A
quick update on fundraising progress. And discussion of what people to
like hear about for the builders/CI talk at Cauldron since we are
working on those issues anyway. Also it is a great time to ask about
any infrastructure issues you might experience where it helps to have
direct insight into real time logs.

There is also no requirement to attend unless you really could use some
direct admin help.

So see you in #overseers on irc.libera.chat at date -d "Fri Sep 10
15:00 UTC 2026". Or not if you have better things to do with your time.

Cheers,

Mark
