+# Actions from last time
+
+These haven't been done:
+
+- Daniel and Lars to set up a call about [[!issue 131]].
+  - not done
+- Schedule pairing session with Dan to help him work through [[!issue 22]]
+  - not done due to life happening
+
+These have been done:
+
+- Daniel to extract `cargo fmt` commit from [[!mr 105]] into a new MR for merging.
+- Daniel to split typemap work out into a separate MR so that it can be reviewed
+  and merged independently of the Rust runner work. (Daniel to file an issue
+  before doing this to include our decided approach).
+- Lars to file MR to add `.tera` to bash and python template
+- Daniel to file an MR for splitting out the filters in the Rust MR.
+- Daniel to file an issue about embedding templates with a view to `cargo install`
+  related to [[!issue 66]] and [[!issue 109]].
+  - filed as [[!issue 134]]
+- Lars to open an issue about how we don't have the feature table for runners.
+  - filed as [[!issue 133]]
+
+# The iteration that is ending
+
+We extended the deadline because life events got in the way, skipping
+the meeting that was meant two happen two weeks ago.
+
+Daniel got the Rust template done, which was a significant chunk of
+work. It's a good start, if maybe not mature yet. Maturity will come
+when we use it for real.
+
+Daniel is sad that he had tot make a copy of the runcmd.md file just
+so that he could change the YAML metadata. This may indicate there's
+need for more flexibility in Subplot. We haven't filed an issue about
+this yet, as it'd be too woolly.
+
+We finished [[!milestone 19]], having fixed [[!issue 130]], [[!issue
+129]], [[!issue 123]], [[!issue 101].
+
+Progress was made on [[!issue 131]], [[!issue 108]], [[!issue 22]].
+
+We closed [[!milestone 19]] and created [[!milestone 20]].
+
+# Pending MRs
+
+[[!mr 119]] is still open. It's a leftover from [[!milestone 19]].
+Daniel had left a comment, Lars will respond off-line.
+
+There were no pending merge requests in subplot-web.
+
+# Branch review
+
+No open branches on subplot-web, and subplot itself had one that was
+created by mistake, and was deleted during the meeting.
+
+# Issue review
+
+Subplot-web has no issues. Subplot itself has 38 issues.

+
+
+# Planning the next iteration
+
+We then went through our tentative plan for issues in [[!milestone
+20]]. We ended up with 9 issues assigned, and on stretch goal.
+
+[[!issue 22]] is assigned to Dan, in the hope he is able to work on
+it. If not, that's OK.
+
+# Regarding the tracking of getting new users to Subplot
+
+We need documentation more than anything else. We decided that we have
+a rudimentary tutorial, and implementation documentation in the form
+of a subplot, and we need a reference manual and a "how to" manual to
+goes deeper into how to use Subplot that the tutorial. Not all of
+these are needed to getting new people to try Subplot.
+
+How much of a reference manual will we need, initially? We think
+details of how to implement a step functions is paramount, and that
+the tutorial should be enough to get started. A reference manual is
+probably not necessary, for now. Formal specification of input
+languages not necessarily massively useful for others, and we
+ourselves get that in the Subplot subplot.
+
+# Regarding Subplot in Debian
+
+We discussed this and agreed that since Debian is about to enter a
+release for the release of Debian 11, it would probably be polite to
+let Debian people concentrate on getting that out before asking anyone
+to spend effort on packaging Subplot for Debian.
+
+# Actions
+
+- Lars and Daniel to set up a meeting to discuss i18n and l10n (done)
+- Lars or Daniel to schedule pairing session with Dan to help him work
+  through [[!issue 22]]
