Brief outline of the topics discussed: - MRs for 2026 are going in, lot of churn, CI is very active - failing post-merge: [build stage issue addressed by Andrey](https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/merge_requests/5544), RISC-V/CUDA/HIP test issues likely due to timeouts - beta is on track - marking features as experimental/validation required - how to report the validation that was performed before code submission - what parameter sets should be validated before the validation required label can go away, how extensive this has to be for each feature, should the validation be tracked in issues - evolving practices, i.e. “start with something that makes sense and improve the process/rules over time”
