+* '''July 29''' Ninth meeting
+  * Progress:
+       * Sent a set of 4 Patches related to RSB recipe for adding EPICS support
+       * Published a blog that explains the process of building EPICS 7 by RTEMS 5 for pc-386 by hand.
+       *  Discussion with mentors on how to make it work for different architectures is in progress.  
+  * Blockers:
+       * Have to find a way out on how to implement the above across different BSPs
+         and also how to use upstream EPICS branch.
+
+  * Next up:
+     * To start modifying the RSB recipe and to make it work for different architectures. 
+
+
+* '''August 5''' Tenth meeting
+  * Progress:
+       * Limited Progress due to involvement in Smart India Hackathon (which my Team won!)
+       * Took note of the feedback on the RSB recipe and started working on improvements. 
+  * Blockers:
+       * No Blockers as such
+
+* '''August 12''' Eleventh meeting
+  * Progress:
+       * Successfully built by hand EPICS 7+RTEMS5 for xilinx_zynq_a9_qemu using libbsd stack. 
+       * Used older GSoC student's blog [https://rmeena840.github.io/Fourth-Post/] to fix my broken rtems-libbsd installation which was creating a halt in implementation of the (i).
+       * Made RSB Recipe that successfully builds EPICS 7+RTEMS5 for xilinx_zynq_a9_qemu and this time `sed` was used instead of the earlier hack of using patch.
+  * Blockers:
+       * No blockers as such. Only thing is that logic has to be developed to make the changes performed by sed more user-oriented. It seems Heinz has also approached other members of the EPICS community 
+         to help solve this problem.
+  * Next up:
+     * Firstly, to find alternative of `sed` in python to make it work cross-platform.
+
+* '''August 12''' Twelfth meeting
+  * Progress:
+       * Built a cross-platform open-source distributive (both Python 2 and Python 3) alternative from scratch to be used in cfg scripts. It's available here: https://pypi.org/project/sedpy/
+       * The tool will not be used however. We found a better way of using 'make' facility for the same purpose.
+       * Built pc386 and zynq both successfully (although on two different epics bases) using make tool of RSB recipe.
+  * Blockers:
+       * Not a blocker as such but Fixing things up to use directly epics-upstream branch seems to be an interesting task.  
+  * Next up:
+     * Removal of hardcoded values from the RSB recipe to make it merge-ready.
