Hello folks,

Welcome back from our winter recess. I hope everyone had the holidays
they wanted. And Happy New Year!

As we get back into the swing of things, your chairs are hoping we can
warm up with some low-hanging fruit. We’ll be trying to put some of the
bigger items front-and-center on upcoming agendas. (It’s always a
balance.)

There are a lot of PRs in the “propose to merge without discussion”
category. Please take a moment to review them and let me know if you
want to discuss any of them.

I’ve left a rather long list of technical items: all of the items we
didn’t discuss at meeting 059 plus the new items. Suggestions for the
best order to tackle them are welcome. Otherwise, I’ll take a closer
look over the weekend and try to sort them into “lowest-hanging-fruit”
order.

I have explicitly moved the discussion of PR #880 to the end of the
agenda. I’m not convinced that’s the best place to start after a recess,
but we will come back to that.

With that preamble out of the way, the agenda is here:

   https://qt4cg.org/meeting/agenda/2024/01-09.html

See you on Tuesday. (We’ll revisit moving the meeting time after more
folks have responded.)
