Noting @nftushar has volunteered to take notes for the January 23rd meeting next year. (Slack thread)

I have added the dev-squad triage feedback.

@Piyopiyo-Kitsune would it be possible to post each of the items under Notes as separate messages during the meeting, to allow threadable conversations on each one?

The switch to Matrix is on hold as per Matt at State of the Word Q& A section. Still good to continue to learn how to use it.
