### Key Discussion Points

*   The primary topic was the upcoming F44 mass branching, scheduled for 2026-02-03 at 14:00 UTC.
*   With `jnsamyak` being unavailable, `patrikp` will lead the process with support from `nirik`.
*   Several points of confusion in the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for mass branching were discussed and clarified:
    *   The timing of running the `koji-hub.yaml` playbook in relation to disabling Koji builders.
    *   The correct order for building `fedora-release` and `fedora-repos` packages before enabling Rawhide gating.
    *   The need to remove outdated container-related steps from the SOP.
*   A new Ansible playbook created by `jnsamyak` will be used to automate the `dist-git` portion of the branching process.
*   There was agreement to use `status.fedoraproject.org` to communicate the status of the branching process to the community.
*   The process for updating documentation attributes (e.g., `{rawhide}`, `{branched}`) was decided: a prepared PR will be merged on the day of branching.
*   The first pass of F45 package resigning is complete, with 98 packages remaining.
