+on task 1171, but should look at budget-sync program to see how it generates
+the individual and grant reports.
+
+* Dmitry: Please have a think about bugs 981, the new sub-task you proposed to
+be under 984 (assume full budget of 5500). Don't modify 981, but feel free to
+make additional comments.
 
-## Approximate amount to return to NLnet from Cavatools grant: 8500-14000EUR
+* Jacob plan out what's required for 1169, and list the necessary tasks (stick
+to bare minimum needed to get mmap support and a simple static elf to run).
