   + good week, would say (Cloph)
     + Writer uiwriter and Calc uicalc is better now
     + not completely gone, though: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2023-March/090049.html (Stephan)
     + only 1 bit was running out of disk space, taken offline manually (Cloph)
     + 1 windows builder short, should be back tomorrow

* LibreOffice hackfest in Cambridge (Miklos)
   + as part of COOL days: 28 & 29th March 2023
   + https://www.collaboraoffice.com/cooldays/ has more info

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
   + Multi-page floating tables (Miklos)
     + early stage, SW_FORCE_FLY_SPLIT=1 is meant to allow experimenting
   + multi-color gradients (Armin)
     + focusing on plumbing / rendering, no model changes yet (Thorsten)
   + theming work (Tomaz)
     + focusing on Writer for now

* Blacklisting GPUs wrt skia issues (Cloph)
   + entries added with just the device ID but not restricting to a driver version
     https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/master/vcl/skia/skia_denylist_vulkan.xml
   + just deny a device and no driver version?
     + feels bad (Cloph)
   + perhaps just warn, but don't auto-disable when there is no driver version?
   + at least document what was the bad driver version? (Miklos)
     + will make it easier in future (Cloph)
   + "test your graphics card" button, is that usable for QA purposes here? (Caolan)
     + not sure (Cloph)
   + would like more restrictions if possible (Cloph)
     + but a comment is already an improvement
     + test button, if that helps with re-visiting these entries, that would be great
   + usually entries are added when soffice just crashes, so there the dialog would not be usable (Xisco)
     + recently saw cases where there was no crash just by visiting the start center (Cloph)
