The meeting primarily discussed the preparations for Devnet-9 and changes to the Ethereum Consensus Layer (CL).Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko raised questions about the Dencun testing timeline during the meeting, as it was previously suggested to launch Dencun in the following order on the testnets: Holesky, Goerli, and then Sepolia. However, due to a network configuration error, the Holesky testnet failed to launch and will be restarted on September 28.
