    - [ ] Check at T-7days that the notice really went out, fix for T-4days if needed

## Current Action Items
### Boilerplate
- Now maintained in GitLab at [[https://gitlab.ucc.asn.au/UCC/tech-todo-list/-/issues/]]
- Briefly discuss anything in here that's worth discussing, but don't spend too long rehashing unresolved issues that have already been discussed ;)
- Going forward:
  - New actions: when new ACTION items arise, put them in the minutes once, but add to GitLab
  - Ongoing actions: don't keep them in the agenda, unless they definitely need to be discussed in the next meeting
  - Completed actions: mention in the agenda that it's been completed, and and briefly discuss if need be
