+### 📝 Agenda points
+
+#### Onboarding module direction
+
+* Maybe have a first PR which is just an "orient yourself to PRs on GitHub".
+* Maybe try to pull some JS back into the Onboarding module, and accordingly a bit meatier actual-useful-work expected PRs.
+* People often struggle with some basic programming fundamentals, e.g. "what is a variable declaration".
+* Better curated resources for people to reference online.
+* Be aware we've swung too far in each direction of "too little" and "too much" over Onboarding iterations.
+* Don't want to lose git from the start.
+* Currently we can't rely on people having laptops in Onboarding - it's possible we could get access to some laptops we're ok with losing to lend out.
+
+#### Workshops move into the curriculum repo
+
+Anna has been working on this! Three things that came up:
+
+* Anna has so far been doing this under her username - will move it over to CYF soon
+* get-forms workshop requires disposable branch previews, which we probably don't want to turn on in the curriculum repo.
+  * Would probably be ok to just remove the workshop, as it's an optional thing in a study group so likely not really done
+
+#### GitHub Projects
+
+We seem to have stopped using our GitHub Project / backlog - how do we feel about that?
+
+Daniel's perspective: People don't often have a lot of time to be browsing for things to pick up, so tend to share out urgent things as they come up.
+
+We have a running list of tasks that we copy forward across meetings, which means we hopefully actually prioritise and get things done.
+
+There can be value in tickets, both for self-organising/documenting (e.g. [Anna's workshop merge ticket](https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/curriculum/issues/1822)), or for getting structured information about problems from volunteers/trainees.
