+* Qt saving custom colors
+ - Eric will add Qt code to save custom colors at end of session and restore at start of session on Windows.
+ - Qt 6.9 removed this behavior and left it up to apps to implement it.
+
+* Rocky 9 build failure
+ - Zach will look at why Rocky 9 build email says it failed but it actually succeeded.
+ - Zach will remove Rocky 8 from the build email, we no longer support Rocky 8.
+
+* Qt updates
+ - Zach updated daily build to Qt 6.10.1.
+ - Also TechPreview is using PySide 6.10.
+
+* OpenGL ES for Rasberry Pi
+ - Discussed our long past deliberations on supporting ChimeraX on mobile devices, web browsers using OpenGL ES.
+ - Did not seem we could do a good job on those devices given our limited resources.
+ - Zach tried OpenGL ES for Linux ARM, including possibly HPC clusters.
+ - Tom does not want to face the complexity, bugs, and poor performance of OpenGL ES on low power devices.
+ - Still want Linux ARM ChimeraX build but with OpenGL (not ES).
+ - Zach will test if ChimeraX OpenGL 3.1 works on Rasberry Pi.  Normally ChimeraX asks for 3.3 minimum.
