** Improvements in the documentation to configure reports through mails.

Once B at D supports Renesas board, we will look into moving B at D from VMs to 
containers, if kernelci container is already available.

## Other topics

* Meeting between Moxa and Codethink. The goal was to put Moxa up to speed and 
find a place for them to start.
** Recommendation of kernel activities were sent prior to the event to SZLin.
** Decision: have a sync meeting about kernel technical activities every week 
through IRC.
** Based on the outcome executed by Moxa, it seems the meeting was useful.

* In order to share the journal at least with Moxa, the wiki page was moved: 
#179
** Link: https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-testing/testing/issues/179

* Content about kernel maintenance and testing sent to Yoshi to be included in 
the ELC talk.

* Paper to talk about CIP kernel maintenance presented to OSSJ. Maintainers 
involved.
