-* [FIXME](https://www.fsf.org/free-software-supporter/2018/december)
+Here's what happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday December 2 and Saturday December 8 2018:
 
-* [Muz](https://github.com/muz)'s talk from [The Long Con 2018](https://thelongcon.ca/speakers/#muz) was published.
+* We are very much looking forward to the upcoming [Reproducible Builds summit in Paris](https://reproducible-builds.org/events/paris2018/) this week!
 
-Patches filed
--------------
+* [diffoscope](https://diffoscope.org/) is our in-depth "diff-on-steroids" utility which helps us diagnose reproducibility issues in packages. This week, [Chris Lamb](https://chris-lamb.co.uk/) implemented a request (via Debian bug [#901757](https://bugs.debian.org/901757)) from [Paul Wise](https://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/) to add the ability to compare ZIP file comments using the `zipnote` tool [[...](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/commit/2869519)]. He then [uploaded it to Debian unstable](https://tracker.debian.org/news/1009550/accepted-diffoscope-107-source-all-into-unstable/) as version `107`.
+
+* Bernhard M. Wiedemann posted to [our mailing list](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/) providing a detailed update on the [status of reproducible builds with the RPM-based ecosppace](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2018-December/001301.html). In addition, Juan Picca posted a query regarding [requesting a field in `.buildinfo` files](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2018-December/001304.html).
+
+* [Muz](https://github.com/muz) recently gave a talk on reproducible builds talk from [The Long Con 2018](https://thelongcon.ca/speakers/#muz) in Winnipeg, Canada was published. ([YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAiSbpzUmU0))
+
+* [Chris Lamb](https://chris-lamb.co.uk/) updated `strip-nondeterminism` (our tool to post-process files to remove known non-deterministic output) to remove the `.ar` and `javaproperties` handlers due to updates from upstream. He then [uploaded it to Debian unstable](https://tracker.debian.org/news/1009519/accepted-strip-nondeterminism-100-1-source-all-into-unstable/) as version `1.0.0`, closing Debian bugs [#914289](https://bugs.debian.org/914289), [#781262](https://bugs.debian.org/781262) & [#843811](https://bugs.debian.org/843811).
+
+* 20 Debian package reviews were added, 56 were updated and 27 were removed in this week, adding to [our knowledge about identified issues](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_issues.html). Chris Lamb added two new toolchain issue types: [`random_hashes_in_cython_output`](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-notes/commit/bde3fb6e) and [`build_date_in_manpage_generated_by_spf13_cobra`](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-notes/commit/d35806a7).
+
+* [Holger Levsen](http://layer-acht.org/) updated our website project to add [Protocol Labs](https://protocol.ai/) as a sponsor at [our upcoming Paris Summit](https://reproducible-builds.org/events/paris2018/). [[...](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-website/commit/c971b1a)].
