+    * Work on the Bootstrap5 theme is leading to some progress on this, and finishing this will be a prerequisite for Bootstrap5. Some of this is tricky due to the need to have different orders of things for each language.

 ==== 2. Technical Discussion: Theme Development Next Steps / Collaboration ====
+Ere is getting caught back up following the holiday break. Implementing the package.json changes discussed earlier would be a helpful step forward, and Ere has some small changes to Bootstrap3 he still plans to make as new PRs to simplify the remainder of the work.
+No news yet on testing of the new theme outside of National Library of Finland, but Ere continues to work through testing the Finna theme and improving the translation/compatibility layer.
+Question: how much longer do we want to continue supporting the bootprint3 theme? General consensus is that we should retire bootprint3 and make sandal the new default. :!: ACTION ITEM: Ere will open new PR to change default and make sure tests still pass.
 ==== 3. Open Q&A / Other Topics? ====
+=== Slack ===
+Question: Any news on merging the VuFind® and OLF Slack instances?
+Peter is currently focused on Confluence/JIRA migration, so Slack work is not happening right away. Peter will report back next month with any news.
+Open question on Slack migration: what happens to message links when the Slack workspace gets renamed from FOLIO to OLF? Is a redirect possible from old name to new name?
+=== Zotero ===
+Maccabee noticed [[https://github.com/zotero/translators/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+vufind|several open projects]] to add VuFind® translators for Zotero and wondered if there was an opportunity to coordinate that work. No one on the call was directly involved in these, but Demian is open to supporting improvements if he can.
+There was some discussion on the lack of updates to COinS (z39.88) in many years, and whether there are other better options for Zotero integration.
