On Monday before the regular meeting began, a group of 31 participants met for 5 hours to discuss HD 5980, a massive binary in which one of its components erupted in 1994 as a luminous blue variable (LBV). This made HD 5980 the most luminous star in all the SMC for about six months. The highlights of this session are presented here.
