We covered the 2026 meeting schedule, including events in Croydon, Bruno,
Czechia, and Busios, Rio de Janeiro. The focus for 2026 is on C++26 exit,
with the March meeting in Croydon focusing on issue triage and new
proposals. The new convener, Guy Davidson, is leading a collaborative team.
Key discussions included the need for low latency features, the transition
to C++29, and the importance of persistent attendance for proposal success.
Proposals for deterministic reduction and improvements to the random
library were also discussed, emphasizing the need for reproducibility and
low discrepancy structures in finance applications.Action Items

   - Collect finance-related feature requests and ideas, consolidate them,
   bounce the list off Michael Wong, and work to schedule relevant SG 14
   sessions for the year
   - Prepare and send an initial draft/problem-statement about random, and
   deterministic reduction (deterministic reduce) to the SG 14 group for early
   feedback
