    + same as last week: high number of timeoutes, but much to report otherwise
    + commit message was changed: Verified+1 gets removed (as it's a new patchset), but no rebuild due to no change in content (Heiko)
      + this is a known problem (Cloph)
      + it is somewhat intentional
      + but it's not ideal that the Jenkins vote gets lost
      + idea: make the pootle bot also carry over the +1s in this case, but currently missing this
    + is there way to prevent CI build for changes that don't need a build? (Hossein)
      + e.g. README changes
      + that would be too much magic, prefer to not support this (Cloph)
      + but you can mark the changes as WIP to avoid builds
        + also: just make the last change non-WIP, only do the same for parent changes
      + cost is not much, risk is real to do this automatically
   + linker parallelism (Lubos)
     + have gbuild logic to avoid sw/ and sc/ linking in parallel (for ld.bfd)
       + if an explicit linker is set, then this is parallel again
     + it's already in master

* l10n (Sophie)
   + new Swedish and Danish contributors

* ucb: webdav-curl: put user name from config into LOCK request (Michael S)
   + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/133143
   + benefit: if some other user edits a file on a webdav share, then publish the name of the editing user
   + but this sends user data, might disturb some
   + idea: respect the setting that decides if user data is written to documents
     + currently controls ODF's meta.xml
     + reuse this
   + there is ongoing work regarding the UX of this dialog (Heiko)
     + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/132342 (WIP)

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
   + 16k cols in Calc (Lubos)
