- Discuss improvements to bench (Ali)
- Ability to specify average runs for some jobs in order to reduce noise
- Line by line profile comparison in order to see local speedups
- RM for 8.15 will be Gaëtan Gilbert. Planning for 8.15 in January since we branched since a long time and we would rather keep with the current January - June/July releases.
- Bug Squashing party: probably happening using Discord for synchronisation, Ali and Emilio will propose dates.
- Theo: We used to have better social events
- We need more labelling and sorting of issues
- Main issues with issues: man power, tooling and organization
- Document standard error messaging practices
- Specifically they should end with a period.
- Changing ocaml versions in CI to min max seems to be sensible
- Improving benchmarks:
- Keeping data from old benches in order to anticipate noise etc.
- Opam packages are broken (specifically VST depending on floq)
- coqbot should give bench info
- PMP has scripts for getting line info that should be artifacted
- Averaging benches is prob not worth it
