+* StateManager API to remove entries, ticket #14894
+  - Tristan has session restore problem where he needs to remove ResidueStepper instances from state manager dictionary.
+  - Need new API to get dictionary keys to use with Session.remove_state_manager(key).
+  - Eric will add a new API to get keys.
+
+* Prereq updates
+  - Greg reviewed prereqs that have new versions.
+  - Tom updated ihm to 1.0 and pyopenx today.
+  - blosc is pulled in by pytables.
+  - Pytables is pinned at 3.8 because 3.9 executes ChimeraX as a subprocess to get cpuinfo.
+
+* 1.8 release roadmap and tickets
+  - Looked over 1.8 roadmap and milestoned tickets.
+  - Current date for 1.8 release is June 1.
+  - Will require release candidates at start of May to make that date.
+  - Eric has some sequence insertion/deletion handling to add for the release.  Could use 3 weeks.
+  - Profile grids will likely be pushed to ChimeraX 1.9.
+
+* Scenes
+  - Scooter wants Zach to work on scenes.
+  - Eric says bulk of work is in specific model types, like AtomicStructure that he will do, where state is in C++.
+
+* Linux startup crashes
+  - Get many Linux start up crash reports (1-2 per week?).
+  - Qt fails to start because can't get OpenGL.
+  - Not clear if these are all remote display problems.
+  - User manages to report crash so they must have got it to start subsequently.
+  - Would be useful if we could advise how to fix issue (e.g. remote display does not work) so they don't report the crashes that take's our time to triage and close.
+
+* VR
+  - Tom plans on working on VR documentation / tutorials
