+## Previous previous sprint
+
+- TW: New wiki style better for searching, can still use GH search.  Other search plugins available to improve further, will investigate.
+- JD: PyRight day postponed as people busy.
+ 
+
+## Previous sprint
+
+- FA: Possibly host central MYSQL instance ourselves.  CMS will investigate server options.
+- FA: May need to revist onsite rotas later in year.
+- LJ: EPICS collaboration on site - more local contacts made through recent meeting.
+
+
+## Current Sprint
+
+### Move retro notes away from dev wiki?
+- LJ: if not wiki for retro notes, then not definitely _not_ MS Teams.
+- TW, GR: MS Teams not good for searching.
+- TW: Concatenate all notes into one page to help searching?
+- KB: Not recommended for general search results as will pick up all matches in wiki including notes.
+- FA: Exclude some retro notes from search results?
+- TW: Sphinx can be configured accordingly.
+- GR: Try above and revisit next sprint retro?
+- ALL: Yes.
+- TW: Can add tags to pages to aid searching/result filtering.
+
+### Office spring clean?
+- GR: Will put something in calendar for an afternoon.
+- Various: Boxes, monitors, dead chairs to get rid of.
+
+### Now no SECI - Tech Debt day to remove references?
+- KB: Some VIs still used.
+- KB: Releasing to HIFI & ARGUS in August and then testing, so can't remove all SECI before that.
+- Various: Then start SECI removal after next release?
+- LC: will book date for beginning of September.
+
+### IBEX Training:
+- TW,LJ: SECI no longer covererd in course so went more quickly.  Also fewer trainees this time.
+- KB: Expand course to cover more functionality and fill time instead.
+- LJ: Will create ticket to cover changes.
+
+### No longer look at project board during Stand-Up meeting once per week?
+- GR: Do auto project board checks satisfy requirements?
+- LJ: Need to check uptake of tickets from top of Ready column.  Not currently covered in checks.
+- KB: Could be added to checks (e.g. ticket taken from below one of higher priority).
+- LC: Auto check better idea - people will forget what board looks like from week-to-week for comparison.
+- FA: Useful to see names of tickets on auto check results.  Need context for results.
+- KB: This can also be added to checks output.
+- LJ: Not much more gained by 'physically' looking at board.
+- GR: Should still look at board at time of release to check progress of specific tickets.
+- KB: Can always _optionally_ look at board.  LC changed Stand-Up instructions.
+
+
+## 😠😢😄
+- FA,DK: 😄 EPICS meeting on site went very well.  Thanks to local organisers.
+- LJ: 😄 IP recruitment process over (nearly).  LC: Offer going out soon.
+- CM: 😢 about Oracle purchase freeze and GPC removal.
+- DK: 😢 that was low turnout for IBEX training.
