Here's what happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday January 20 and Saturday January 26 2019:
* There was considerable progresss in making the [Debian Installer](https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/) images reproducible with a [number of rounds of code review](https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/reproducible-builds/Week-of-Mon-20190114/011054.html), a subsequent merge of [Chris Lamb](https://chris-lamb.co.uk/)'s [merge request](https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/merge_requests/3) and closing of the [corresponding bug report](https://bugs.debian.org/900918#29) for the time being, pending further testing.

* At [linux.conf.au](https://linux.conf.au/) 2019 in Christchurch, New Zealand there were (at least!) two talks that touched on Reproducible Builds. First, [Benno Rice](https://twitter.com/jeamland) gave a talk titled "[How Much Do You Trust That Package? Understanding The Software Supply Chain](https://2019.linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/237/)" ([YouTube link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnELtqE6mMM)). In addition, [Aleksandra Pawlik](https://github.com/apawlik) presented on "[Building reproducible computing environments: a workshop for non-experts](https://2019.linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/185/)" ([YouTube link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2xzQFQ2hg0)).
