+
+
+## Discussion
+
+- [Adam] Frequency of rebuilds of [`docs.python.org/3/`](https://docs.python.org/3/): [python/docsbuild-scripts#163](https://github.com/python/docsbuild-scripts/issues/163)
+  - Is it OK for the PDFs to lag behind the HTML pages?
+  - We could build English HTML every 4-6 hours but translations & PDFs only daily.
+  - We don't know how long the build takes.
+  - Could we move to Read the Docs?
+  - Perhaps redirect 404s for archives that aren't build yet to earlier versions: could `https://docs.python.org/3.11/archives/python-3.11.999-docs-pdf-letter.zip` serve HTML that explains things and links to `https://docs.python.org/3.11/archives/` ?
+  - Action: Adam to write up something & ask Julien.
+- [Hugo] Adopting opengraph preview images for d.p.o: [python/docsbuild-scripts#147](https://github.com/python/docsbuild-scripts/issues/147)
+- [Adam] Shutting down [`[email protected]`](https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/latest)
+  - Action: Petr to think about / redirect posts to GH Issues.
+- [Mariatta/Joanna/Ned] [PEP for Python Editorial Board](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IDaf87xtuKQ9txA6XUS-kQbgmLseUrOD1EBwl5PheSw/edit?usp=sharing)
+- [Ege] What is the status of "[analysing docs.python.org using Google Search Console](https://github.com/python/docs-community/issues/64)"?
+  - Would have been nice to have, but doesn't look feasible for now. Hopefully, it will be discussed along with *Plausible hosting*.
+  - We can look into alternatives, such as [Google LightHouse](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/overview/).
+- [Ege/Hugo/Maciej/CAM] Plausible & Weblate hosting updates (response from the PSF?)
+  - [CAM] Emailed Deb a couple weeks ago with the summary of our consensus on the last meeting, but still waiting (again :( ) on a reply.
+
+
+## Next meeting
+
+The docs team generally meets on the first Tuesday of every month around 19:00-ish UTC.
+
+We have a recurring Google Calendar event for the meeting.
+Let Mariatta know your email address and she can invite you.
