 === Image Metadata API ===
+No news.
 === Front End Updates ===
+Chris wanted to explain a couple of things:
+- The new version of FontAwesome (5) is out. We use this library for our icons. Chris was disappointed by the compatibility of the new version; some icons have broken backward compatibility, and some new features of the new version don't work with VuFind. Right now, it looks like a lot of work for very little pay-off to upgrade, so this won't be happening too soon.
+- Chris is also planning on refactoring the dynamic cover image generator soon.

 ==== 3. Institutional Home ====
+No news.
 ==== 4. Other Topics? ====
+Leila is working on some geographic improvements -- PR #1086 is the first step toward migrating from OpenLayers to Leaflet by making base maps configurable. PR #1087 allows better logging during indexing of coordinates to help with troubleshooting. These are currently awaiting Demian's review.
+Leila has two more pull requests lined up to open after these are merged (character encoding indexing fixes; Leaflet conversion). Leaflet offers better clustering than OpenLayers. She will also update the wiki after merging.
+There was a question about whether there is a simple way to inject a configuration into a class without creating a factory. The short answer: it's probably best to use a factory given current VuFind conventions, but the new ServiceManager v3 refactor may make it easier to create a shared factory that injects configurations in a specific way, if such a pattern is useful, in order to avoid redundancy.
