Hi everyone!

First a housekeeping item:

   - I removed the zoom meeting for September 17. Instead, let's meet in
   person At EuroBSDCon. I know many of you won't be there, but for those who
   are, we can meet more than once as needed/desired and I will look for a day
   and time to hold a hybrid in person + Zoom meeting.

*Decision made at August 20 meeting - We will focus on 3 key areas:*

   1. Three In Progress workstreams
      1. Management by API
      2. AD / DNS integration
      3. Samba
   2. One Blocked workstream
      1. Support for running AI workloads on FreeBSD
   3. Two new areas
      1. Enterprise-focused documentation improvements
      2. Distributed storage solutions for cloud-native applications

      4. All other workstreams that are Blocked or Not Started will be
   "Relegated". This means, we will not actively cover them on calls or spend
   ongoing effort trying to identify resolutions. By all means, should any
   person or group have interest in picking up any of these Relegated
   workstreams, that is very welcome and I am more than happy to brief on
   status and otherwise support.

   5. There are two new tabs in the EWG Workstreams Google Sheet

      2. Relegated

   editing oversight on my part, as I am not very knowledgeable about these
