[Incubator] Any 2026 budget request?

[Jody Garnett]

 Let's learn from the experience and give folks a bit more notice 🙂

Let me propose two days:


   - Monday 12 Jan: 14:00 UTC
   - Wednesday 14 Jan: 16:00 UTC


Topics:


   - Make a useful budget request for 2026
   - Discuss renaming to "Projects" and update responsibilities / mandate
   for this committee
   - Change from mailing list to discourse (to make access easier)


Committee members please respond with your availability:
