We were all present.
- 5.43.11 has so far turned up a few problems, thankfully small. As a result there are new versions of Archive::Tar and HTTP::Tiny to sync, which we intend to merge.
- We decided how to proceed with our schedule: we will wait another week for any other findings in 5.43.11, and if nothing else shows up then we intend to start working on 5.44.0-RC0 at that point.
- We discussed briefly the trajectory of the core team’s LLM policy conversation. For now we continue keeping an eye on the thread.
- We noted PRs to add two new documents to the PPCs repository but didn’t have time to discuss them in this meeting. We intend to do so in the next one.

This week we were back to full strength. We have now dealt with all of the belated issues and all of the blockers. Paul will be shipping 5.43.11 very shortly. With the amount of changes we have had to merge, we will not be able to rush the .11 cycle, but we intend to start the work on the 5.44 RC early, to ensure that we can release with as little additional delay as possible.

Paul is away this week so only Leon and Aristotle were present. A number of the belated-for-this-cycle issues have been addressed this week and we are following up on the remaining ones. We do not yet have a firm commitment for the release manager for 5.43.11.

All three of us attended. We are dealing with a spate of (important, but thankfully relatively small) issues reported late in the cycle, so there will be a 5.43.11 dev release. We do not currently have a release manager for it yet and will ask for volunteers on the list.

All three of us attended further final release preparation. Issue triage continued; a number of small issues came in late, and we merged some of them. We also reverted a late small fix that we had merged recently which turned out to cause problems. Overall we once again left the meeting without open release blockers.
