* Completed Action Items:
+ set up 1 Android CI builder and see the build turn-around time (Cloph)
+ jenkins builder is up, and rotates between the 4 architectures
+ 90 mins is the full build, 10 mins is the cached build
+ still gathering data
* Pending Action Items:
+ None
* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
+ 7.0 status
+ 7.0.2 rc2 was tagged yesterday, builds are in progress
+ 6.4 status
+ 6.4.7 rc2 will be tagged next week
+ Remotes
+ Android viewer
* Online move (Michael M)
+ hopes that this is the least bad move for TDF
+ will have questions section at the end, is that OK?
* FYI: LO now runs native on Windows ARM64 (Jan-Marek)
+ cross-builds on Windows x64, starts in QEMU (very slow)
+ can TDF provide a TB, so it won’t break again?
+ offer experimental installer for 7.1?
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137143
+ a side-project, but working nicely
+ AWS has ARM64 workers (Michael M)
+ if testing the cross-compilation, that can be tested on normal build infra (Cloph)
+ just need to install the arm64 tools in VS, and it should just work (JMux)
+ could even produce an installer
+ should we have a designed windows builder where the SDK is installed? (Thorsten)
+ if it’s a std part of VS, would just install it everywhere (Cloph)
+ a distro-config would be ideal (Thorsten)
+ highly preferred :-) (Cloph)
+ have a local commit with full configuration to please java cross-compile (JMux)
+ other than java, no special switches
+ .NET and gpg is still disabled

+ nothing unusual, same as on other weeks
+ fixed 2 other timeout problems (clipboard, Windows update check), that should help (Stephan)
+ still seeing a problem locally, but the fix for that would actually hang during Jenkins...
* l10n (Sophie)
+ working is ongoing
* Graphics architecture (Thorsten)
* https://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/ESC_graphics_architecture
* skia / vulkan metabug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129062
+ 17 (+0) open bugs, 124 total (+4)
* LibreOffice Conference will be Online (Sophie)
+ some people wondered if it is possible to pre-record the talk?
- possible, but not a requirement
* Proposal to TDF board to have regression prevention as a future key goal (Ilmari)
+ Volunteer contributors are not in a position to know how paid development relates to regressions of arbitrary age – unrealistic expectations sometimes
+ Increasing automation etc. is something concrete we can do to reduce the friction between volunteers in the various teams and paid devs
+ Budget items would be optional, can also focus existing resources
+ Good to send a positive message to volunteers through action and acknowledgement
+ Maybe make it an initiation ritual that newcomer devs tackle a cppunit test immediately after their first trivial easy hack
+ Invest in figuring out how to integrate the automated triaging system Bugbug into our Bugzilla after we upgrade to 6 https://github.com/mozilla/bugbug
+ brought this proposal to the board, they said come to the ESC
+ they way the key goals work is that the TDF staff focuses on these areas
+ may also have some budget associated
+ sounds really encouraging (Michael M)
+ the last output from ESC’s budget ranking contained no testing topics, other than a11y testing
+ Xisco may have ideas where to focus
+ Some areas are hard to test (Michael M)
+ could also cover things like automated triaging (Ilmari)
+ is it looking for duplicates? (Michael M)
+ also adds metadata (Ilmari)
+ anything that helps to get staff to work on this area is great (Thorsten)
+ also educate: just because XY worked on an area, can’t expect to fix any related problems/regressions forever (Miklos)
+ not easy to solve this
+ fail to see the benefit of putting this as a key goal, though (Xisco)
+ acts as a license for us to focus on this when doing mentoring (Ilmari)
+ could have a PDF validator (Xisco, Thorsten)
+ question: “Should the board made regression prevention a key goal?”
=> yes, that makes sense (All)
* QA update (Xisco)
+ Please help flesh out the monthly reports:

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127217
+ Thorsten ?

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132025
+ more info here: “Subject: Budget 2020 proposals and macOS
Catalina
support / onboarding” on the dev list (Heiko)
+ Text runs of RTL scripts (e.g. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) from
imported
PDF are reversed, PDFIProcessor::mirrorString not behaving
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104597
+ Thorsten looking at it
+ old problem, but many duplicates
+ New high severity bugs of the week:
+ Clicking on the table border will select the full table content instead of only selecting the border (used for cut/paste)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117485
+ Gokul?
+ Crash deleting a table
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136728
+ fallout from previous perf work
+ FILEOPEN: PPTX: Text is center aligned instead of left
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137023
+ assigned to Miklos already
* Online move questions (Michael M)
+ can help with answering questions?
+ suspect: good place to ask questions directly, but the broader discussion will be on board-discuss@ (Thorsten)
+ extremely mixed emotions: sad to see this happening, but it was effectively like this already for years
+ just making this more visible
+ hope: this a start for a good discussion
+ Online uses LOKit, Collabora will maintain that? (Caolan)
+ yes, that would be my expectation (Michael M)
+ is there still discussion ongoing? (Michael W)
+ everything is possible, we write software, meetings soon with the Board & MC to discuss (Michael M)
+ I already tried to listen to everybody, and minimize the unhappiness
+ need to get inter-corporate conflict out of the project; seen it in the past inside LibreOffice
+ much of our engineering structure: time based released, hard feature freezes etc. are due to this.
+ how does LOOL continues? (Heiko)
+ C'bra people will abstain from decisions on LOOL of course (Michael M)
+ up to the TDF staff / board
