     + Patches automatically abandoned:
         Moving common lines for tests to setUp ( Valerii Goncharuk )
             - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/135030
         animations : use std::mutex and OInterfaceContainerHelper4 ( 
Arnaud Versini )
             - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/135046
         tdf#145614 Convert #define to constexpr ( Roman Kuznetsov )
             - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/135065
         sw: refactor SwFntObj::DrawText() for stretched text. ( Mark Hung )
             - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/135085
         Android: add --enable-libxml2 to fontconfig ( Hossein )
             - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/135212
     + Using SDK with mingw?
         + Not a goal to make all of LO build with mingw.
         + Support just mingw for SDK, making it easier to attract new 
people?
           (Thorsten)
             + Not sure how fast that would rot again (Stephan)
         + No real-world motivation here, just some "accident" that 
somebody
           unsuccessfully tried it.
         + Better go cmake + VS (Kendy)

* GSoC (Hossein/Ilmari)
   + Timeline: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline
   + Both 2 contributors passed midterm evaluations

* Commit Access

* Developer Certification (Stephan/Kendy/Thorsten/László)
   + resting since: 26 weeks (limit: 20 weeks)

* Jenkins / CI update (Cloph)
   + resuming builds broken currently
     * https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-69210
   + bug in multijob plugin that caused endless recursion after jenkins 
restarts
     * https://github.com/jenkinsci/tikal-multijob-plugin/issues/255
      + addressed by rolling back
   + multijob plugin also got deprecated, played around with pipeline 
based jobs, but visualization is lacking
     * https://ci.libreoffice.org/view/disabled/job/gerrit_master_p/57/ 
- no listing of individual jobs on the status page
     * worse on 
https://ci.libreoffice.org/view/disabled/job/gerrit_master_p/57/flowGraphTable/ 
the skipped build (one of the android ones is skipped) is shown as success
     * there is visualization on 
https://ci.libreoffice.org/view/disabled/job/gerrit_master_p/  - but of 
course impossible to find your build in that list...
     * blue ocean (additional UI on top of jenkins) shows the android 
one as skipped, but also requries you to click individual builds to see 
stats... 
https://ci.libreoffice.org/blue/organizations/jenkins/gerrit_master_p/detail/gerrit_master_p/57/pipeline
    + tests that failed more than twice in last seven days:
       3 CppunitTest_sw_uiwriter6                gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
       4 Killed by the kill-wrapper 
gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
       4 UITest_calc_tests8                gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
       5 CppunitTest_sw_uiwriter6                gerrit_windows
   + currently not able to resume failed builds due to an upstream bug, 
waiting for a
     fix
   + multijob pipeline is deprecated upstream, reverted for now to keep 
it using
   + still short on Mac builders, that's typically the bottleneck now

* offer to get MSV (multi-schema validator, an important ODF validator 
dependency)
   moved over to TDF's github & maintained there (by Michael & Svante) 
(Thorsten)
   * old abandoned upstream: https://github.com/kohsuke/msv
   * temp repo here: https://github.com/xmlark/msv
   + plan is to move it to github.com/tdf (not to our gerrit)
   + tightly coupled to the validator, so would make sense to host it 
here too
   + github feature to donate a repo to a different org, meaning that 
issues etc.
     would be moved over too (Michael)
   + Thorsten's understanding that moving it would be in consensus with 
previous
     committers.
   + Sounds great in that case (Kendy)
   + Thorsten/Michael/Svante committing to maintaining for the 
forseeable future.
   + How to proceed? (Kendy)
     + Take it to the board if ESC is fine with it (Thorsten)
   + No objections (all)
   + Probably no mapping between github and LO gerrit accounts? (Caolan)
      + right
   + Maybe use Jenkins on it once it got moved (Thorsten)
      + no unit tests there, though (Michael)

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
   + 16k cols in Calc (Lubos): 
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133764
   + feature/chartdatatable: MSO-style data tables for charts (Tomaz): 
see initial commits in master
