+### Lessons in the Incubator and Carpentries Lab
+We continue our discussion on lessons that we may want to suggest as main Software Carpentry lessons in the future, taken from the Carpentries Incubator and Lab.
+There is [a spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BOsPnEQ-2TeKlRO6oopQ1xb6dcWY54hXe-X4yA6pUJ8/edit?usp=sharing) with some notes from all of us.
+In particular we discuss:
+- The [Good enough practices](https://carpentries-lab.github.io/good-enough-practices/) lesson, which appears ready in all respects.
+- The [Intermediate Research Software Development](https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/python-intermediate-development/) lesson, which contains many interesting things, but is currently still using the old lesson template.
+We contacted Aleksandra Nenadic to encourage a transition to the Lab and to Workbench. Aleksandra replied that it has been submitted to the Lab already and a workshop at CarpentryConnect Heidelberg will be devoted to migrating to Workbench.
+Toby is supporting the transition, asks if some LPGC members could assist as reviewers.
+
+### Git lesson: updates
+The update to the Git lesson is on the way. The main change is that we now use recipes instead of the Dracula/Wolfman story, but we also no longer use `git checkout`.
+A [pull request](https://github.com/swcarpentry/git-novice/pull/1003) is ready: the UCL people are on board, they and Toby reviewed it, the Spanish lesson maintainers have no objections, and the LPGC approves.
+
+### Next meeting
+The next meeting is tentatively scheduled on 30th September, but needs confirmation due to Martino's schedule for the term.
