+### Working Group / Planning Council Membership Update
+- Equo and SBB have joined the working group
+- Their representatives for the Planning Council still need to be clarified
+
+### Eclipse 2026-09 State / Java 25 for Windows on ARM
+- Eclipse 2026-09 is in good shape
+  - Ed has tested the "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau" even with Java 27
+- Java 25 for Windows on ARM: https://github.com/eclipse-simrel/.github/issues/75#issuecomment-4980989344
+  - JustJ and EPP now available with Java 25 for Windows on ARM
+  - JustJ picks up Microsoft JDK if no Temurin JDK is available for a specific version / architecture
+  - EPP M2 is already shipped with Java 25 on all platforms
+  - For Java 17 and 25, Microsoft JDK is available for Windows on ARM
+  - No SimRel contributions that require Java 25 known yet, just EPP adopted Java 25
+  - Some Platform code for security manager may be cleaned up once Platform moved to Java 25
+
+### WebKit Support on macOS
+- WebKit API used by SWT is rather old and long deprecated by Apple: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/3486
+- WebKit is almost entirely internal to Apple, they may drop legacy API support at any point in time
+- In the current macOS 27 beta state it is still available
+
+### AOB
+- Info that JetBrains now provides their IntelliJ Java and Kotlin support for VS Code (and Cursor etc.)
