I've heard on the IRC that the minutes from 2017-07-20 were not sent to
the ML; here they are:
* Present:
+ Lionel, Caolan, Heiko, Miklos, Olivier, Xisco, Michael M, Kendy,
Armin, Jan-Marek, Bubli, Christian, Michael S, Thorsten, Theodore
* Volunteers to use the public numbers:
+ Cloph, Bubli
* Completed Action Items:
+ add wiki page with plan for live-screenshots (Olivier)
[ https://wiki.docume ntfoundation.org/Development/ScreenshotsAtInstall
summary of the issue here, needs a plan here.
Had a brief call with Armin (Bubli)
+ some 2-3 days to get flicker-free screenshot experience
+ altogether some 2-3 weeks of work for a UNO service
dlg id → screenshot.
AI: work out what a good idea is here (Kendy, Thorsten)
+ ideal not to create these not at install-time,
but when the user needs the screenshot.
+ easy to do inside the application; but not in the browser
the user can navigate to anything.
Buggy graphics card (Lionel)
+ if display not what it should be, help would also be bad.
Trying to solve future problems (Thorsten)
+ could we do it iteratively, a few screenshots
but not overbearing size of them
+ if we multiply screenshots * 70 languages (Olivier)
+ requirement of tender to add 5 screenshots (Bubli)
+ can be done by the community, ongoing work (Olivier)
+ not convinced of the immediate need for lots of technical work here
until we have more screenshots (Thorsten) ]
* Pending Action Items:
* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 5.4.0 final - RC3
+ tagging this week – later today.
+ 9 patches waiting in gerrit to be reviewed
+ after call start prepping translations &
then do the tag 10pm Berlin time.
+ last minute issues:
+ have a text rendering fix for 5.4.0 RC3 …
+ no text displayed at all in Virtual Machines ? (Michael S)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/40211/ from Tomaz to fix.
+ can’t reproduce the problem (Christian)
+ input from Michaael S much appreciated.
+ can we delay until tomorrow ?
+ feature pages: please update:
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.4
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/q/status:open+branch:libreoffice-5-4-0
+ 5.3.5 RC2
+ next week, nothing special here
+ Android & iOS Remote
+ online
* Tender oversight (Florian)
+ request for engineers to help review TDF tenders &
assess results
+ must not be affiliated with a tendering company etc.
+ please contact Florian – hopefully he’s here next time.
+ ideally we have a list of tenders to help out with there (Thorsten)
+ mostly C++ bits, one or two web ones.
+ https://blog.documentfoundation.org/b-log/category/tenders/ (superset)
+ propose re-visit next week.
* Documentation (Olivier)
+ finished help on line (for master 6.0)
+ handover to designers to make it pretty …
+ Beatrice + Buovjaga are working on this (Bubli)
+ blog post about it:
+ https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2017/07/19/taming-libreoffice-help-system/
+ depends on https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/39264/ to go master
+ could we do a re-direct on the web-server instead ? (Christian)
+ but all traffic will go to the new website (Olivier)
+ but don’t have 5.3 just master (Olivier)
+ version is in the URL – so can do it (Kendy)
+ but ok with the gerrit patch for 6.0
+ fixed in help content (typos and correction from translators)
+ Resumed teamwork for editing Getting started Guide for release 6.0
* UX Update (Heiko)
+ Bugzilla (topicUI) statistics
258(258) (topicUI) bugs open, 473(473) (needsUXEval) needs to be evaluated by the UXteam

+ has been take care of by Heiko.
+ Complaints on Telegram about line spacing
+ 5.3.4 breaking +400 documents
+ http://imgur.com/a/W48uX
+ related to Khaled’s work
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105860
+ report to TDF bugzilla recommended (Miklos)
+ already have reports for this sort of thing (Xisco)
+ previous decision was to keep Khaled’s patch
+ since it gets more consistent cross platform.
+ could add a compatibility setting in writer (Michael S)
+ pass it into VCL & somehow adapt it – as before, but …
that requires someone to do it – and someon with a Mac
+ enough open Mac bugs currently (Michael M)
+ guy on Windows 7 & Kubuntu are his platforms (Heiko)
AI: + build a write-up of the differences cross-platform (Xisco)
AI: + get access for Xisco for the TDF macs or buy a Mac for Xisco (Christian)
+ Messed up with the splash screen size for 6.0 ; will fix-up next week
* Crash Testing (Caolan)
+ 25(+23) import failure, 578(+572) export failures
+ numbers gone extremely high – mostly in PPT export
+ trying to reproduce – not showing anything …
+ could it be scheduler changes having issues with the harness ?
+ Stephan pushed a fix related to scheduler & re-started
+ currently a high number related to the scheduler.
+ if reproducible can look (Jmux)
+ there is a script (Caolan)
+ if we shrink the pool to 50-60 docs its fine.
+ otherwise test-case – is: wait for an hour + half.
+ is it possible to re-direct stderr (Michael S)
+ look for assertion failure strings, to figure out why it is crashing ?
+ see at least two of these in unit tests
+ currently built without debugging (Caolan)
+ can try turning on if it fails again.
+ oss-fuzz: 31 fuzzers active.
+ temp breakage after emf+ changes, fixed now
+ coverity: 16(-5)
