-* Eric Myhre gave a talk titled [Path-agnostic binaries, co-installable libraries, and How To Have Nice Things](https://media.ccc.de/v/ASG2018-204-path-agnostic_binaries_co-installable_libraries_and_how_to_have_nice_things) - featuring content-addressable splays (file arrangements) that benefit from reproducible builds.
+Here's what happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday September 30 and Saturday October 6 2018:
 
-* Bernhard M. Wiedemann wrote https://github.com/bmwiedemann/reproducibleopensuse/blob/master/autoprovenance to help to understand how and where unreproducible files are created. The tool is still very early in its development and is meant to be distribution agnostic, however currently it cooperates with rpmbuild-strace and as such is more useful for RPM based distros. Which in turn means this might be a good starting point for someone to get involved in Reproducible Builds, by making this useful tool available to other projects.
+* Yet another reminder that the **fourth Reproducible Builds summit will be taking place between 11th—13th December 2018** in Paris at [Mozilla](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Paris)'s offices. If you are interested in attending please send an email to `holger at layer-acht.org`. More details can also be found on the [corresponding event page](https://reproducible-builds.org/events/paris2018/) of our website.
 
-* Marek Marczykowski-Górecki gave a little update on Qubes OS: there is a progress with reproducible installation ISO (given the same set of input packages): see https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-installer-qubes-os/pull/26 for details.
+* In addition, Mariusz Zaborski will [present a talk on reproducible builds](https://twitter.com/BSidesWarsaw/status/1047426094117339136/photo/1) on the 13th October at [Security BSides Warsaw 2018](https://securitybsides.pl/).
 
-* As part of Security BSides Warsaw 2018 [Mariusz Zaborski will give a talk on "Reproducible Builds"](https://twitter.com/BSidesWarsaw/status/1047426094117339136/photo/1) on 2018-10-13 10:00

-Patches filed
--------------
+* Bernhard M. Wiedemann wrote [autoprovenance](https://github.com/bmwiedemann/reproducibleopensuse/blob/master/autoprovenance) to help to understand how and where unreproducible files are created. Whilst it is meant to be distribution-agnostic it currently only works with `rpmbuild-strace` and as such is more useful for RPM-based distros.
+
+* [Marek Marczykowski-Górecki](https://github.com/marmarek) reported on [Qubes OS](https://www.qubes-os.org/) progress on [achieving reproducible installation ISO images](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-installer-qubes-os/pull/26).
+
+* Mattia Rizzolo [uploaded diffoscope version `103`](https://tracker.debian.org/news/992782/accepted-diffoscope-103-source-into-unstable/) to Debian unstable incorporate a [fix by Chris Lamb to support gnumeric 1.12.43](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/commit/4758809).
+
+* [Guillem Jover](https://www.hadrons.org/~guillem/) provided a patch to `strip-nondeterminism` to [remove some old `Date::Parse` code](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/strip-nondeterminism/commit/d96687d) which was subsequently [uploaded to Debian unstable](https://tracker.debian.org/news/993001/accepted-strip-nondeterminism-0043-1-source-all-into-unstable/) by Chris Lamb.
+
+* Chris Lamb reviwed 35 Debian packages. In addition, 6 were updated and 15 were removed in this week, adding to [our knowledge about identified issues](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_issues.html). Chris Lamb also added two issue toolchain issues ([`path_in_texi_figure_documentation`](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-notes/commit/909c593b) & [`randomness_in_python_changelog_references`](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-notes/commit/4182192d)) and Peter Wu [updated the documentation for cmake](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-notes/commit/7ad02499).
