			'''1. OSGeo server access'''

			* A ticket was opened a month ago to request OSGeo server access for Corey: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/3561
			* No response has been received so far from OSGeo SAC.
			* [Action] Use the same ticket or create new ones to get Nicklas and Edouard access to the server.

			'''2. GRASS Community Meeting - San Michele'''

			* We drafted the agenda for the event, as it will support the sponsoring request to FOSSGIS e.V.
			* [Action] Vero will meet with MarkusN to help prepare the FOSSGIS request.
			* We discussed criteria for (partial) reimbursement of participants, esp. in terms of commits to the main grass repo.
			* [Action] Treasurer will propose who to reimburse and how much.
			* [Action] All: Let's invite contributors personally, too.

			'''3. Release'''

			* 8.5.0 is out!
			* We discussed the release procedure based on the [https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/discussions/7328 #7328], in particular, whether Release Candidates are needed, given that they are rarely tested. Bas is a notable exception, consistently providing feedback on RCs.
			* The goal is to get 8.6 out approximately 6 months after 8.5, as several things are almost ready and did not make it into 8.5.
			* We went through the release announcement and the list of changes on GitHub and did minor edits during the meeting.
			* [Action] Update versions and dates in the roadmap.
			* [Action] Update Download/Windows layout since there is no standalone installer.
			* [Action] Remove all "GIS" from the Download menu.

			'''4. GSoC'''

			* First time under NumFocus.
			* GRASS was allocated 3 students. Their projects and mentors are as follows:
			** '''Pytest''' — Mentors: Vashek and Corey
			** '''Integrating STDS into Data Catalog''' — Mentors: Anna and Stefan (Vero and Linda are interested in following this topic)
			** '''Parallelise r.proj''' — Mentor: Huidae
			* The first two projects will include adding JSON output to the tools they address.
			* NumFOCUS acts as the fiscal intermediary but is not heavily involved in day-to-day matters.
			* Proposal to use GRASS budget to pay for AI tools for GSoC students — to be discussed further.

			'''5. Funding/Sponsoring'''

			* We went through the new sponsoring page.
			* New tiers were suggested by NumFOCUS.
			* [Action] Ping Robert Dzur to check whether they want to sponsor the meeting in San Michele.
