+==== Wednesday 2018/02/14 ====
+=== rajm ===
+   * Discovered that connecting to LAVA on the newly created VM was giving an 'Internal server error'  after trying various options - rebooting both the VM and the host (I was working from home via VPN so wanted to rule that out), I found in in /var/log/lava-server/django.log a python stack dump ending with DoesNotExist: Site matching query does not exist and realised that the change I made to the site name in preparation for the emails must have broken LAVA. The LAVA installation doesn't easily uninstall/re-install - too much extra config so I started another VM from scratch. I will review the wiki instructions on hostname carefully.
+   * Saw Zoran's comments on [[https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-testing/testing/issues/99|99]] - problems when behind a proxy - and have reopened that issue.
+   * I used busybox 1.28.0 rather than the 1.26.2 mentioned on the wiki to build initramfs and the eventual health check ran first time - I propose to update the wiki to reference that version.
+   * Installed mail server on VM and successfully sent health check success email with the latest  kernel built using the latest kernelci.
+==== Tuesday 2018/02/13 ====

+   * Looked at the AGL LAVA output.
+   * Started to create a VM to be used to send out health check emails to the list.
+==== Friday 2018/02/09 ====
+=== rajm ===
+   * Revised the MR (53) in line (I hope) with bwh's comments.
+   * Checked that issue [[https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-testing/testing/issues/157|#157]] is still a problem.
+   * Tried to replicate [[https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-testing/testing/issues/170|#170]] and has, so far, failed.
+   * Responded to [[https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-testing/testing/issues/173|#173]] re. ser2net.
+   * Replied to cip-dev emails.
+==== Thursday 2018/02/08 ====

+   * Although we have a slot, Agustín cannot attend to Openexpo to introduce CIP. Asking Members about sending somebody local (Madrid, ES).
+   * TSC call
+      * Renesas plans to send further patches to the CIP kernel before ELC. The idea for Codethink is to release a new kernel before ELC.
