+### Discussion:
+
+* Various pandemic stories.
+
+* Google Summer of Code project proposals, ranked in order of preference:
+
+  1. Owen Thompson, Motion Picture Science student at Rochester
+  Institute of Technology. Proposal to split Imath into a separate
+  repo. The proposal is well-written, communication skills appear
+  good. Trial PR was implementation of Matrix22.
+
+  2. Jaroslav Paska, student at University of Glasgow. Proposal is to
+  benchmark compression schemes and potentially implement new
+  compression schemes. Proposal is well-written, communication skill
+  appear good. Trial PR was correcting a typo in a comment.  Proposed
+  project is potentially useful, but dependent on gathering the right
+  imagery to benchmark, which could be tricky.
+
+  3. Archit, student at National Institute of Technology Goa,
+  India. Proposal is pybind11 bindings for Imath. Trial PR is a
+  correcting a grammar mistake. Proposed project is potentially risky;
+  no indication there is prior experience with pybind11, which could
+  be challenging.
+
+* Sarah Martin presented mockups of a new look for openexr.com
+  website. We preferred the one with obviously high-dynamic range
+  image, a relatively small banner across the top. We expressed a
+  preference for a "dark" mode style.
+
+* Rod will look for information about the original OpenEXR logo design.
+
+* Cary will follow up with John Mertic about Linux Foundation graphic
+  design services for a new logo.
+
+* #668 - Cary will respond with "won't fix."
