* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 5.2.7 RC1 status
+ test failures, didn’t get a build that make-check worked for 1st time.
+ running checks manually – they pass.
+ issues with build parallelism here.
+ sometimes complex test or XStyleLoader2 test – only on Windows.
+ tried 4-5 times, not working – for complete check
+ is it upgrading the compiler ? (Thorsten)
+ random toolchain timing symptom (Michael)
+ random windows updates too – what changed ? (Cloph)
+ only on 5.2? (Miklos)
+ 5.3 rare to run into issues – sometimes XStyleloader2 (Cloph)
AI: + investigate signing issues around files (Cloph)
+ 5.3.3 RC1 status
+ tag yesterday – builds are currently underway
+ available tomorrow.
+ 5.4. builds / master
+ Alpha 1 – April 25th(?) - hard feature-freeze May 15th(?)
alpha still from master , libreoffice-5-4 tag along with feature-freeze
+ translation problems
+ cleanup & re-shuffling in the src files
+ that changed lots of message contexts.
+ around 20k words to translate → thye’re not happy.
+ now down to 1500 – 2000 words; still some left.
+ improving quickly.
+ Android & iOS Remote
+ some patches need review, and some integrated.

+ propose skip 5.3.3 rc1 and do an rc2.
* Documentation (Olivier)
+ Zarro unconfirmed documentation bugs
+ thanks to Xisco mailing him the doc. bugs quickly.
+ New page on HC for Template manager (C. Vance and ohallot)
+ Need to review many other outdated/invalid pages on the subject
+ Guides: Change of templates for chapters triggers heavy work on update
+ style names changed – investigating if this is necessary
+ Fixes in help contents after translators
+ Tests LOOL to evaluate use for collaborative content insertion
for Guides, encouraging results with track changes,
but some issues open, e.g. protection.
+ may be better suited for doc. Authors rathern than caring about formats
+ have to download / edit / up-load cycle currently – which is a pain.
+ use the current site – with latest master/online builds.
+ testing some issues; been reported & fixed by Pranav
+ poking at two users – to see how they interfere – v. optimistic.
* should we have keywords not components in bugzilla (Heiko)
+ would need to move things from writer → documentation etc.
+ what’s wrong with a component ? (Xisco)

+ slot count looks good.
+ students have been selected
+ please organize back-up mentors – we want at least two mentors per student

* crash reporter news (Xisco)
+ http://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/?days=128
+ http://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/version/5.3.2.2
+ 5012
+ http://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/version/5.2.6.2
+ 15333
+ Top crashes are Windows / GDI resource starvation 10k+ handles.
+ thought this was fixed (Michael)
+ we were creating OutputDevice’s left & right.
* Commit Access
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy/Thorsten)
+ 2 week sleep.
* Jenkins / CI update (Norbert)
* l10n (Sophie)
+ tons of english function names used internally have been
erroneously flagged as being translatable by one of the
source-restructuring commits.
+ horrible.
+ want Cloph’s time to script this out.
+ ~25k new/untranslated words due to changing the way strings
are referred to like in this commit:
https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/commit/2c91fc19445bb503652e97cc8b9f9014db436c37
+ see also the changes to //Resource for function XX in
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b127134103e0fcf8b415f53eebed0b5180d782e3
+ translators should not be impacted by this, they have already done their translation work
+ l10n team and Cloph have to be aware of these changes asap
in order for Cloph either to have time to script them or find help
+ currently working hard on fixing it (Cloph)
+ better for German & French now.
+ once they are sorted will run for all languages.
+ would have been best to get master done at 5.3.1 stage.
+ an artifact of having had pootle off-site.
+ an issue for 5.4 only
+ urgent need to fix it, but doesn’t impact 5.3 or before.
+ expect to be back to normal for UI next week for sure.
+ last 2k words / 400 strings to go
+ next week: help project.
