+Here's what happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday September 16 and Saturday September 22 2018:
 
 * FIXME: vagrant: *Call for capable armhf dev board donations, link to image, talk(s), etc.*
 
-* [Reproducing tarballs under various toolchains](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2018-September/001148.html)
+* A reminder that the **fourth Reproducible Builds summit will take place from December 11th—13th 2018** at [Mozilla](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Paris) in Paris, France. If you are interested in attending please register by sending an email to `holger at layer-acht.org`. More details may be found on the [associated event page](https://reproducible-builds.org/events/paris2018/).
 
-* FIXME:Janneke wrote a blogpost http://joyofsource.com/reduced-binary-seed-bootstrap.html
+* Bernhard M. Wiedemannup updated  `disorderfs` (our [FUSE](https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse)-based filesystem that deliberately introduces non-determinism into filesystem metadata) [to use sys/xattr.h from glibc](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/disorderfs/commit/387844f) as newer `libattr` versions have dropped their own `xattr.h` header.
 
-* FIXME: https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/1068 (bsdtar argument parsing bug found as a result of the tarballs thread)
+* Daniel Shahaf started an interesting discussion on [our mailing list](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/listinfo/rb-general) regarding [reproducing tarballs under various toolchains](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2018-September/001148.html). As a result, Daniel actually uncovered an [argument parsing bug in `libarchive`](https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/1068).
 
-* FIXME: https://bugs.python.org/issue34022 proposes to revert the SOURCE_EPOCH change 
+* An [issue was opened in the CPython bug tracker](https://bugs.python.org/issue34022) regarding test failures regarding the [`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`](https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/) environment variable which actually proposes to revert the previous changes.
+
+* [Janneke](http://joyofsource.com) published a blog post entitled "[Reduced Binary Seed Bootstrap](http://joyofsource.com/reduced-binary-seed-bootstrap.html)" in which they describe how the [GuixSD](https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/) operating system is working on a small subset of packages in order to achieve a truly-auditable "[bootstrappable](http://bootstrappable.org/)" package set.
+
+* Chris Lamb reviewed 15 Debian packages, adding to our [knowledge about identified issues](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_issues.html). In addition, two issue types were updated: [`fixed_timestamp_in_fonts_generated_by_ufo2ft`](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-notes/commit/b6dc7ea0) was removed and `randomless_in_pdf2htmlex_html_output` [was renamed](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reproducible-notes/commit/23f31d23) to `randomness_in_pdf2htmlex_html_output`.
+
+* [openSUSE](https://en.opensuse.org)'s wiki page [on their approach and resources regarding reproducible builds](https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Reproducible_Builds) was linked on our IRC channel.
+
+* Chris Lamb also updated the SSL certificate for [buildinfo.debian.net](https://buildinfo.debian.net/).

+diffoscope version `102` was [uploaded to Debian unstable](https://tracker.debian.org/news/989165/accepted-diffoscope-102-source-into-unstable/) by Mattia Rizzolo.

+
+* Mattia Rizzolo:
+    * [Use the new `debhelper-compat` virtual dependency](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/commit/f23ff14).

+Test framework development
+--------------------------
+
+There were a number of updates to our [Jenkins](https://jenkins.io/)-based testing framework that powers [tests.reproducible-builds.org](tests.reproducible-builds.org) this month, including:
+
+* Holger Levsen made a huge number of changes to the framework's [Arch Linux](https://www.archlinux.org/) support, including:
+
+    * Refactoring for huge performance gains, including [a huge rework of the scheduler](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/26377e6b), [dropping 8000 SQL queries](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/7c77b0d3)
+    * Drafting a plan on [how to switch to SQL-based HTML page generation](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/6ed1274e).
+    * A large number of bug fixes, including [removing various "Bashims"](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/3d46a865), [preventing the scheduling of blacklisted packages](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/4db078d4) and [ensuring notifications are not sent when they affect no packages](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/6b98e303).
+    * In addition more debug output ([1](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/63237165), [2](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/8acce39f), etc.) was added to catch future errors.
+    * The output of rescheduled packages was changed to be sorted. ([1](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/7e4cda0d), [2](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/cf042521))
+    * In Debian, Holger also [doubled the size of `/tmp` on the `pb3+4` nodes](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/aa872f0f) and ensured that `rm -rf` [was called with `--one-file-system`](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/1ef70769).
+
+* Hans-Christoph Steiner [added the Android Tools Team packages as a "package set"](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/fc224521).
+
+* Lastly, Mattia Rizzolo temporarily [marked the `jtk1b-armhf-rb.debian.net` node as offline](https://salsa.debian.org/qa/jenkins.debian.net/commit/2e935533).
