		[ hesitated a lot, but interaction with Validator
		  interface makes this ]
AI:		+ double check this change (Eike)
	+ mass-move & tweak of include paths (Bjoern)
		[ looks beautiful in master, two minor glitches
		  15mins late executing, and broke cross-compiling,
		  otherwise it went smoothly - thanks to all
		  for help ! ]
		[ Windows builds take between 1 or 2 hours - there
		  are two of them ]
	+ on-line update 3.6.x -> 3.6.6 patch (Michael)

		  commit id adding ]

* Pending Action Items
        + look at gradient / clipart issues (Michael)
	+ look into Windows gallery builds (Michael)
        + need design for copying styles between templates (Astron/UX)
                + either in that dialog or a new dialog
                + also issue with only editing templates that are in the mgr

* QA update (Joel)
	+ trying to double-up on each of the major components eg.
	  the Bugzilla Submission Assistant (BSA)
		+ questing for a website person to help-out with that
AI:	+ working on analysing minor release bugs
	+ adding a new tag 'expert_needed' - needs a developer to triage
	  them; QA volunteers can't do it themselves: odd setups etc.
        + 147 unconfirmed vs. 4.0, help appreciated with triage
		+ bugs not going down or up - hovering around 150
                http://tinyurl.com/crxq9od (cf. topic in #libreoffice-qa)
	+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/page.cgi?id=weekly-bug-summary.html
		+ more bugs closed than opened ...
			+151 -153
	+ flip-side of better triage is regression spike
		+ want to triage better / get better data / quality
		  of regressions
	+ bibisect:
		+ plenty of bandwidth available to add 'bibsectrequest'
		  to keywords for developers
		+ pushed another repo - of released / tagged versions,
		  most useful for minor releases.
	+ seems to be a serious Win32 crasher bug:
		+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63767

* Release Engineering update (Petr)
        + 3.6.7 schedule - deadline is June 24th for rc1
        + 4.0.3 rc2 deadline - April 29th
		+ next Monday !
        + 4.1 - feature-freeze: three weeks out: May 20th
		+ week on Monday - do an Alpha 0 of 4.1
		+ get build / packaging testing / etc.

* Update on calc foo (Markus)
	+ discussion to get rid of performance hobbling inherited
	  number format issue.
		+ still resolved to get rid of it.
		+ Markus to work on it in a bit.

* MySQL connector
	+ Fernand Vanrie - funding a re-compile for 4.0 and ->
	  extension site (many thanks)
		+ Work In Progress
		+ will need another re-compile for 4.1 so we need to
		  use the 'maxversion' 4.0.100 eg. dependency for it
		+ new-re-compile due to ns datetime change.

* remove lo suffix from non-ure libraries (Bjoern)
	+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63154#c6
	+ shortening the names can lead to DLL naming conflicts, hence 'lo'
AI:	+ back-track and leave the existing macro to avoid issues (Michael)

* UX input (Astron)
	+ icon theme faenza issues, already have the ability to override it
	+ should we make it easy for extensions to install these icons (Michael)
		+ no reason why we couldn't do that
	+ flat icons on github / these new icons (Bjoern)
AI:	+ encourage these guys to work on new flat icon project (Astron/Bjoern)

* GSOC update (Cedric)
	+ All mentors are now registered in Google Melange
	+ already had a few (good) applications (since Monday)
	+ students have until May 3rd (eight days) to file
	+ then we go through a ranking process - to find best students
	+ May 27th - they'll know.
	+ some annoyances from being badgered ? => send to Cedric.
	+ hassling lots of contributors vaguely about your application
	  may well count against you.
