+
+Discussed [RFC: Provide Secure Boot-Signed Alternative Kernels](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/ALESCo/pull/15)
+
+- The discussion will continue in the pull request comments. We also need to make sure the community needs this.
+
+Discussed [proc: fix a dentry lock race between release_task and lookup](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d919a1e79bac890421537cf02ae773007bf55e6b) upstream kernel patch
+
+- Last activity in [https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-124568](https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-124568) happened 2026-01-10:
+
+```
+Ok, so there appears to have been a reported regression that maybe related to a VFS locking problem.
+The discussion talks about the patch proposed here which, IIUC, helps (with an additional small change) but doesn't resolve the problem.
+Eric Sandeen has asked Al Viro to look at the problem and we are waiting on feedback from Al.
+Unfortunately, until we work through that problem this one must wait.
+```
+
+- The backported patch has been submitted to CS9: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/merge_requests/7769. No activity there either.
+
+Discussed upstream fix for `socat`: [Handle EAGAIN on recvmsg()](https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/socat/-/merge_requests/13)
+
+- Will vote for inclusion into AlmaLinux 9 on the ALESCo public chat channel.
+
+Discussed policy for adding new ALESCo members:
+
+- We're waiting for a questionnaire from Neal Gompa.
