Tomas:

* I've sent a [short summary](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/392734-council/topic/Meeting.20minutes.20.26.20summaries/with/545656887) of what was discussed at the Council meeting. People appreciated it, I'll keep doing these.
* I've set up the PD election retrospective ([hackmd](https://hackmd.io/4SgDbeQ9Sd2KlknfT85X0Q), [thread](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/392734-council/topic/pd.20retrospective/with/546308172)). Comments slowed down, I'd like to summarise it and start opening PRs in the next week or so. If you haven't responded yet, please do!
* I've shared feedback with the PD candidates who weren't selected.
* Made more progress on writing the RustConf C++ summary blog post, but it's slow going.
* Synced with Niko on Project Goals. I've updated [the announcement PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/pull/1700) and we're aligned on the next steps: publish the September and October updates, set up a "goals retrospective" and start getting ready for the next year's cycle (and roughly how we want that to go -- we'll write up an announcement & RFC).
