Thanks for volunteering! I hadn't made my mind about any specific plans yet. What I had been doing is I give some sort of introduction, like updates on the infrastructure, etc, then open for discussion ("any other business"). I also prepare some topics in advance to bootstrap the discussion in case attendees don't bring anything up. For example, you as heavy user¹ could open by describing your impression of the process, workflow tips, features/bugs of the testing migration gating, etc. ¹ https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/23363.38045.677096.392...@chiark.greenend.org.uk Then you can have a list of questions to ask attendees in case no one raises a discussion topic, like - did anyone here try to add autopkgtest support for a package, but hit any blocker, and would like to discuss that? - does anyone has a useful tip to share about testing a (recurring) situation that could be useful for others? etc. and if you can have your own answer prepared for these, it helps to get the ball rolling.
