+### 📝 Agenda points
+
+#### Self-review PR exercises
+
+CJ shared [a draft](https://github.com/cjyuan/Module-Data-Flows/blob/book-library-feedback/debugging/book-library/feedback.md)
+
+Ali wondered whether we want very exercise-specific feedback or something more general.
+
+Maybe we can introduce a more general "Look at your code before making the PR" (including possibly linking to the [style guide](https://curriculum.codeyourfuture.io/guides/reviewing/style-guide/)) and introduce exercise-specific guides where we have them?
+
+Possibly a PR auto-commenter could be helpful. But don't want to be too spammy and desensitise people. Ideally want it to be targeted.
+
+We need to keep focusing on conveying _understanding_ rather than just instructions - they need to understand why something is a problem, not just follow an instruction to follow it.
+
+#### Intro to Léon
+
+Léon has joined CYF as the [Community Education Lead in the Scotland region](https://codeyourfuture.io/community-minded-lead-teacher/) with a focus on giving trainees feedback and helping volunteers to become better teachers.
+
+#### AI Strategy
+
+Daniel has put together a [draft AI strategy for CYF](https://docs.google.com/document/d/16ZFFVPRQ6JL6-kpVdwXndQ1zUo0i9kvP5fQ5c4NE3Nk/edit) - please take a look and leave some comments.
+
+#### Launch Demo Day Feedback
+
+Was really impressive - some of the best projects and demos we've seen at CYF! All of the course changes are paying off - thank you everyone!
+
+People were much better at presenting than in the past, but struggled with the style of answering questions about their demos. (Also, some trainees were asking not amazing questions.) - We should think about how to help people ask and answer questions better after demos.
+
+#### Tony's Problem Solving Workshops
+
+Daniel demo'd [Tony's problem solving workshops](https://deploy-preview-1538--cyf-programming.netlify.app/structuring-data/sprints/1/day-plan/#problem-solving-workshop) - we're all very excited about them.
+
+#### Backlog GitHub Issue Labels
+
+The Size and Priority labels on GitHub issues are probably useful because they help trainees filter in their project boards.
+
+The Topic labels probably are not - we don't use them, that's not how we develop the curriculum. (They used to be useful, but we've changed how we work.) Daniel will clear some out.
+
+#### When will ITD and ITP be done and ready to be uploaded to the dashboard
+
+https://deploy-preview-1548--cyf-itd.netlify.app/ should have all the info needed to update the dashboard.
