# Project Kickoff Status — Week of 2025-12-29

## Overview

As of the December 29 sync between Melissa and Mark, the Aviary project is confirmed to begin the week of January 5, 2026. An internal kickoff call was to be scheduled by Mark during the week of December 29 before work formally begins.

## Status

| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| **Project Start** | Monday, 2026-01-05 |
| **Internal Kickoff Call** | To be scheduled by Mark during week of 2025-12-29 |
| **Sebastian** | Out until Friday 2026-01-02; may not be available for kickoff call |

## Key Decisions

- Work on Aviary officially kicks off the week of January 5, 2026.
- An internal alignment call should happen before that start date; Mark is responsible for organizing it.
- Sebastian's absence through January 2 limits scheduling options for the internal call — Friday January 2 is possible but Sebastian would not be available.

## Action Items

- [ ] **Mark:** Schedule internal Aviary kickoff call for the week of 2025-12-29 (@Mark Hope)

> **Mark Hope [00:12:00]:** We'll start working next Monday, but sometime this week, we're supposed to have kind of a call. So I'm trying to organize that this morning.
