Paul Evans (LeoNerd)
- delivered presentation "Perl in 2030" - slides (docs.google.com)
- fixed core perl bug Perl5 #22121
- made perl 5.39.10 release perl-5.39.10
- (along with the rest of the PSC) wrote the Perl section text for the next TPRF sponsor prospectus

Tina Müller (tinita)
- Looked into 4 reported vulnerabilities for libyaml (as they could affect YAML::LibYAML). It turned out it was about two types of vulnerabilities (timeout, memory leak), but libyaml itself was fine. The fuzztesting code had mistakes and they have been fixed by my two PRs 11848 11840. So in the end there was no vulnerability, I learned some C and we have better fuzztesting now (hopefully)
- Worked on the CPAN metadata/errata script to make information more accessible
- Gave short talk about "Why the rest of the world doesn't understand perl module versioning"
