+## Agenda
+
+The summit is scheduled for 1 hour and will consist of a series of high-level
+birds-of-a-feather (BoF)-style talks, followed by more focused discussion.
+
+1. (5 min) Welcome & Introductions (Jarrod Millman)
+
+2. (10 min) Logistics
+
+3. (30) Meeting Topics
+
+   - Jarrod Millman: Goal
+
+     - Unique opportunity to work on cross-project concerns
+     - We should think big, but focus on achievable short-term goals
+
+   - Stéfan van der Walt: Build systems
+
+     - Starting to see Meson emerge as an excellent build option for compiled Scientific Python libraries
+       - But there's no "standard" configuration/documentation for standard workflows yet; numpy/scipy/scikit-image are all feeling it out
+       - Editable installs just arrived, but work slightly differently to what we're used to with pip install -e ..
+     - Also starting to see more usage of dev.py as a convenient developer interface for various tasks
+       - Still in alpha; tool is quite general so takes some figuring out what commands should be provided / which flags to support
+     - Leah Wasser & PyOpenSci is working on community guidelines for packaging
+       - One part of that is setting up small packages that use different tooling for comparison
+       - This may be a good place to capture some of the Meson workflows mentioned
+     - There is therefore technical, user interface, and documentation work to be done
+
+   - Stéfan van der Walt: Sparse work
+
+     - In the previous release of SciPy we introduced experiemental Sparse Arrays
+     - These arrays are limited to 2D, since they are built on top of Sparse Matrices
+     - We hope to refactor scipy.sparse:
+       - matrices should be built on top of arrays (if not deprecated entirely)
+       - sparse arrays should support 1D and, eventually, N-D
+       - sparse arrays should closely follows numpy array semantics
+
+   - Brigitta Sipőcz: Shared infrastructure for SPECS and beyond
+
+     - SPECs: The current SPEC drafts are documents about policies the core libraries opt-in to follow (e.g. producing and using developer versions in testing), however, template implementation / suggested examples are needed to work out.
+     - Testing: Libraries facing the same or very similar doctesting and docs building challenges, aggregating the needs and centralizing these efforts
+     - Tutorial infrastructure
+
+   - Juanita Gomez: Community
+
+     - Community management
+     - Documentation
+
+4. (10 min) Discussion
+
+5. (5 min) Wrap up and next steps
