+# Actions from last time
+
+These haven't been done:
+
+- Lars or Daniel to schedule pairing session with Dan to help him work
+  through [[!issue 22]]
+  - Daniel failed to even attempt to arrange something, though Dan was likely
+    too busy/hurty so we'll carry this forward..
+
+These have been done:
+
+- Lars and Daniel to set up a meeting to discuss i18n and l10n (done)
+  - We had a discussion and decided tentatively to go with Fluent unless
+    we find a good reason to try something simpler first.
+
+# The iteration that is ending
+
+Lars didn't do much for the iteration specifically, but did finish [[!mr 119]]
+and reviewed MRs from Daniel. Lars was very busy with Obnam and driving the
+train at work.
+
+We finished [[!milestone 20]], having fixed [[!issue 144]], [[!issue 143]].
+
+Progress was made on [[!issue 131]].
+
+We closed [[!milestone 20]] and created [[!milestone 21]].
+
+# Pending MRs
+
+There were no pending MRs on Subplot-Web, There were no pending MRs on Subplot,
+after Lars had a last-minute review spree an hour before the meeting.
+
+# Branch review
+
+No open branches on subplot-web, nor on subplot itself.
+
+# Issue review
+
+Subplot-web has no issues. Subplot itself has 36 open issues.
+
+Only 2 were touched since the last iteration.
+
+- [[!issue 148]] was opened by Daniel. We had a good discussion, logged it
+  in the issue, and tentatively put the issue into the new iteration
+- [[!issue 131]] we are happy with the discussion we had in the iteration,
+  and the labels etc. we placed on the issue. We are not prepared to act on it
+  in this coming iteration.
+
+Regarding issues previously queued
+
+- [[!issue 147]] tentatively moved to the new iteration
+- [[!issue 146]] tentatively moved to the new iteration
+- [[!issue 136]] tentatively moved to the new iteration
+- [[!issue 118]] removed from the iteration cycle for now
+- [[!issue 108]] tentatively moved to the new iteration
+- [[!issue 22]] carried to the new iteration as discussed above
+- [[!issue 116]] removed from the iteration cycle for now
+
+# Planning the next iteration
+
+We are happy with the set of things in the iteration, having done some time
+estimation we believe we can get it all done.
+
+# Regarding the tracking of getting new users to Subplot
+
+Daniel had a brief rant about documenting error codes and providing in-system
+help where we can. This is a long-term goal and not something to prevent new
+users getting into Subplot but it will drive adoption eventually.
+
+We're happy that we know what we need to do to move forward, but we're also
+adamant that we don't want to do it this iteration.
+
+# Regarding Subplot in Debian
+
+We may have to delier vegan cake in NYC to make it happen, but we won't do anything
+until Bullseye is either very close to, or actually, releasing.
+
+# AoB
+
+Lars wanted to talk about VMDB2 and concurrent scenarios…
+
+We had a discussion about how this could be dealt with and we decided that it
+may be easiest to wrapper a `test.py` with a `Makefile` for now, committing the
+outputs of `sp-codegen` and `sp-docgen` to the vmdb2 repository for now.
+
+# Actions
+
+- Lars or Daniel to schedule pairing session with Dan to help him work
+  through [[!issue 22]]
