+    * Ferrocene announcement/launch party tomorrow ([link](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/a-decade-of-rust-with-ferrous-systems-tickets-680492891557?aff=oddtdtcreator))
+* Anti-spam bot still being tested, any issues?
+* Should mutex-trait be archived/deprecated?
+    * https://github.com/rust-embedded/mutex-trait/issues/13
+    * Lots of discussion on this point. It's not clear if the current trait is serving a useful purpose and it's definitely not been widely adopted, but should we aim to fix it or just deprecate it?
+    * Original RFC was https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg/blob/master/rfcs/0377-mutex-trait.md
+    * The intended users are application, driver, HAL developers who want to abstract over a generic mutex to share state with interrupts/threads/etc
+    * In practise, such an ecosystem hasn't developed, probably because the mutex interface (especially whether it requires &mut self or not) depends on the executor and what tradeoffs are desired
+    * Additionally, the newer critical_section::Mutex is a concrete type which can have multiple backing providers per platform, so may be good enough for many use cases
+    * We'll finish discussions on the issue
+* book: tooling page still needs updating
+* bors: ops documentation still needs updating
+* rustc target maintainers:
+    * @adamgreig to open wg issue to discuss WG teams being target maintainers
+* volatile_register potentially unsound https://github.com/rust-embedded/cortex-m/issues/485
+    * No update on volatile-register PR
