- A proposal for a fully decentralized, server-independent Debian distribution is floated, with “Gittorrent” suggested as a lightweight peer-to-peer mechanism for distributing Git repositories and eliminating central-hosting bottlenecks.  
- A minimal YAML metadata schema is sketched for the SKDB/AGX-GET package system, embedding package name, version, configuration script pointer, social/contact file, and compatibility history to keep the knowledge base self-describing and fork-friendly.  
- Participants debate a semantic triplet (x.y.z) versioning policy that signals backward compatibility: patch-level safe, minor-level possibly breaking, major-level definitely breaking, while avoiding metadata bloat.  
- The Texas FLDS raid triggers discussion on state power and child-protection ethics, extending to speculative bio-engineering: whether non-sentient “sacks of flesh” would be classified as sexual aids or abuse victims under current law.  
- Historical attribution is corrected: Douglas Engelbart (not Xerox PARC) originated the mouse and early multi-window GUI; RMS launched GNU in 1983 under pre-Internet collaboration constraints; Linux succeeded only after global connectivity matured.  
- A fiber-optic-embedded concrete project is noted that can “display what’s on the other side,” pointing to structural materials doubling as optical waveguides or imaging surfaces (optics.org article referenced).  
- Octopart.com is highlighted as a powerful parts-search engine for sourcing electronic components, while a small Python script (agx-get.py) and curated free-textbook list are shared at heybryan.org to counter textbook “planned obsolescence.”
