Week ending 2026-10-18 (Week 42)
Shorter week after taking Monday and Tuesday off 
, but still plenty of things moving! I kept pushing 
forward the Sphinx cleanup and DEP 20 release checklists, with some unexpected debugging along the way 
. Security work brought another public hardening ticket 
and further patch review. And, in particularly happy news, we had our very first Triage and Review Team meeting 
, plus new members joining the Security and Triage teams. It’s amazing to see these teams growing and be part of them!
