QT4CG meeting 139 draft agenda, 21 October 2025

Hello,

Last week, I think I mentioned that my plan was to spend a good chunk of this week’s meeting reviewing the generators proposal. Dimitre has asked me to wait a week or two as good progress is still being made in email and in comments on the issue. So that’ll be for a future meeting. Today, I’ve made the usual attempt to organize a selection of PRs into an agenda.

The proposed agenda is here:
