# Security policy

We had a discussion about the new security policy, details
in confidential issue tpo/tpa/team#41727.

# Roadmap review

We reviewed priorities for September.

We decided prioritize the web fixes lavamind was assigned over the
Puppet server upgrades as it should be quick and people have been
waiting for this. Those upgrades have been rescheduled to October.

We will also prioritize the donate-neo launch (happening this week),
retiring Nagios, and upgrading mail servers. For the latter, we wish
to expedite the work and focus on upgrading over TPA-RFC-45, AKA "fix
all of email", which is too complex of a project to block the critical
upgrade path for now.

# Other discussions

Some conversations happened in private about other priorities,
documented in confidential issue tpo/tpa/team#41721.

# Next meeting

Currently scheduled for October 7th 2024 at 15:00UTC.
