+## Main Content
+
+- possible hot fix
+  - found two problems
+    - rolling upgrdde part was communicating with substrate in a non-safe way
+      - some leaking connections already fixed
+    - way tfchain is implemented
+      - active PR pending review
+  - this together all issues with RPC should be mitigated
+  - currently fix with ops team should work fine regardless
+    - no worries in that regard
+- urgency
+  - investigate statement
+    - no workloads were affected
+      - is this true?
+      - bert says it is not true that no workloads were affected
+  - workloads on GE node, e.g. ethereum
+  - have to check
+    - are the contracts still online
+    - if contracts online, but not reachable
+      - it gives more info on the issue
+    - TODO make a ticket on this
+      - Ashra will look into it
+- thursday issues on mycelium
+  - timing out of mycelium
+  - look as error if try to connect on the node but it can't as node is set on command line
+    - this means user explicitly wants to connect to the node but it can't
+    - dashboard belgium nodes, lots of reconnection
+  - can you kick off peers that we can't use  
+    - e.g. 2 out of 5 nodes resetting connection
+    - can mycelium automatically put the 2 nodes in the backlog
+      - Lee: connection time out is 5 seconds, a bit short actually
+        - will increase time-out to 1 min or more
+          - should reduce spam
+          - should reduce load on public node for reconnection
+- mycelium should be 1.0 in this release
+  - we said this for 3.15 grid release
+  - mycelium trying to keep semantic versioning
+  - Kristof wants routing decision to be taken centrally
+    - if we do this starting from 1.0 then we need to call it 2.0, which is too early
+  - should go to 0.6 mycelium
+  - might need to rewrite the change log
+  - change the change to 0.6, and 0.57
+- mycelium gui
+  - waiting on android
+  - windows is there
+- local
+  - ashra following up with 
+
+---

+  - we move it to 3.15
+  - can be finished in the following
+
+---
+
+## UI
+
+- overall stakeholders decision
+  - between webteam, communication, ops, devs
+  - if we decide something as developers, won't be communicated enough to other stakeholders
+  - Sam can present that to company stakeholders
+    - on wednesday
+- before there was a clean cut between grid.tf and threefold.io
+- threefold cloud instead of threefold dashboard
+- all urls, do we go with threefold.io
+- simple consensus
+  - v3 stay as is
+  - we can check how to go with v4
+
+---
+
