* Present:
+ Caolan, Cloph, Heiko, Olivier, Ilmari, Stephan, Stephane, Xisco, Hossein, Miklos, Michael W, Michael S, Gabriel
* Completed Action Items:
+ try to restore source code links in crashreports (Cloph)
+ done, for new reports
+ also fixed 24.2 reports
+ look at missing bundled python in bibisect binaries (Xisco)
+ see mailing list post
* Pending Action Items:
* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
+ 7.6: 7.6.5 RC1 in 1 week
+ plan to tag on Tuesday
+ 24.2: RC 3 this week, later today
+ open reviews: <https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/162546>
+ libreoffice-24-2-0 branch, needs +2 reviews
+ late features:
+ MAR updates (Stephan)
+ still need to put that in place (Cloph)
+ in practice, this is only needed for .1 (Stephan)
+ good to check the rc2 -> rc2 already (Cloph)
+ Jenkins config read permission, is that good to not have? (Miklos)
+ ${LODE_HOME}/bin/tb_slave_wrapper --real --mode=config --clean (Cloph)
+ Config=windows_msc_dbgutil_32 , Config=linux_clang_dbgutil_64
Config=macosx_clang_dbgutil , Config=linux_gcc_release_64
→ determines what distro-config is used from distro-configs/Jenkins
+ ${LODE_HOME}/bin/kill-wrapper "${LODE_HOME}/bin/tb_slave_wrapper --real --mode=config --clean" 900
+ think this is all the non-trivial bits (Cloph)
(with_jdk_home is set to older JDK for 7-6 branch for example, or android builds set PATH=${PATH}:/opt/rh/rh-python38/root/usr/bin in addition)
+ jenkins builders have LODE_HOME environment variable set (cloph)
→ that e.g. has some special treatment in configure.ac to --enable-werror

Q: Possibility of moving all SDK examples to an external repo:
https://git.libreoffice.org/sdk-examples/
+ we try to build (but not run) them during 'make check' (Stephan)
+ that would speak against moving them out
+ have it as a submodule? (Hossein)
+ what would be the benefit? (Stephan)
+ work on examples without cloning core.git (Hossein)
+ to work with the SDK, no need to build the code
+ to avoid cloning core? (Stephan)
+ also cygwin can be avoided (Hossein)
+ what would be the benefit of a submodule? (Ilmari)
+ still build-test it, if it has to be an external repo (Miklos)
+ would prefer either it separated or have it in core.git (Stephan)
+ think there is value in having the examples in the SDK (Hossein)
+ think there is some value in nagging people towards the core (Miklos)
+ think --enable-odk is already disabled by default these days (Michael S)
+ not sure I follow the example (Stephan)
+ the whole sdk is not built by default (Michael S)
+ and pulling into the SDK would be additional effort (Stephan)
+ do we not want to the examples from the SDK, correct? (Miklos)
+ we don't want to lose it, sure (Hossein)

12 Killed by the kill-wrapper gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
+ situation normalized again after reverting the firebird update (Cloph)
+ nothing really unusual happened otherwise
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ A11y update (Michael W)
+ fixed duplicated shortcut handling w/ a11y enabled in Qt-based VCL plugins
(tdf#159333)
+ small fixes related to shape handling
+ plan to get back to tdf#135236, support for reporting spelling errors for
editengine via text attribute on a11y layer, some related fixes
+ fonts on Mac (Cloph)
+ document-support fonts installed (by macOS) but not visible to LO
+ e.g. could be used for font fallback but maybe not offer them on the UI?
+ probably useful to ask input from Patrick (Miklos)
+ catch is to ideally not offer these for new documents (Cloph)
+ Calc cell text editeng paste (Miklos)
+ HTML paste now works, only ODF/RTF worked previously
+ ODF wholesome encryption is now enabled by default (Xisco)
+ thanks to Michael S for the work
+ only towards 24.8, so if you are on 24.2, you should be able to open your encrypted documents
+ tools -> options search (Hossein)
+ think the latency is too high
+ Opening the dialog for the first time
+ would measure the benefit of search vs cost of waiting that long
+ suggest to consider this for 24.2.1
+ Will file a bug and CC author (Hossein)
* FOSDEM 2024 - Hackfest Feb. 5/6 at ICAB Incubator
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2024/FOSDEM
