Discussions:
1. The precision of std functions for double (reverse hyperbolic functions)
Use std functions instead of our own implementation
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148430
+ at least need to keep internal implementation (Eike)
+ we just don't know how precise the std {asinh,acosh} implementations are for the different platforms
+ don't be confused: the displayed precision may be different from what is stored internally (need to compare binary values)
+ need to also care about existing documents
+ best to just close the easyhack
2. Review bot, abondoning previously restored patches
+ proposed idea: if a patch is restored once, don't abandon it again (Hossein)
+ don't like the idea (Cloph)
+ it's not enough to just comment to keep it alive, could require at least a rebase
+ to avoid changes stay around forever
+ suggest to not bother with this
+ we already recommend to not submit too old patches, more then 1 week old (Miklos)
+ an option is introduce a magic label on the change to avoid garbage collection (Cloph)
+ easiest is to not do anything for now
* GSoC (Hossein/Ilmari)
+ Timeline: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline
+ work is ongoing (Ilmari)
* Commit Access
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Kendy/Thorsten/László)
+ resting since: 27 weeks (limit: 20 weeks)
* Jenkins / CI update (Cloph)

+ this week is getting back to normal (Cloph)
+ resuming of builds were broken, now fixed
+ had a Windows and a macOS bot problem, already fixed
+ we're still low on macs, but compensating it with some cloud workers
+ also tried pch for macOS, but it didn't help too much, Intel build even got slower
+ MSP perl code removed? (Miklos)
+ feel free to restore it if it's used (Cloph)
+ currently uses a weak hash, though
* Table style improvement task was budgeted for this year, but doubts appeared (Ilmari)
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Budget2022#Table_Styles_improvements
+ Mike K. recommends to invest in implementing it properly rather
than continue to tweak the current solution that relies on direct
formatting
+ implemented as GSoC in 2016 - our current solution
+ which is not using the actual styles machinery
+ but instead using hard formatting
+ so the better plan would be to implement it based on real styles
+ lets wait for Miklos' feedback on this (Caolan)
+ re-visit after his vacation next week
+ support the idea, but it’s hard to know how much effort would it to get rid of the direct-formatting-based approach, see <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126008#c50> for details (Miklos)
+ agreeing in general
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ feature/chartdatatable: MSO-style data tables for charts (Tomaz): work can be tested on master
* settings AllowEditReadonlyDocs and AllowOverrideLocking seem to be set
to true by default (Heiko)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150436
+ AllowEditReadonlyDocs = true shows the "Edit" button in the infobar,
which is hidden when false
+ unsafe and users don't understand the consequences (Winfried)
+ was always like this (Samuel)
+ when you click the button, we check read-write permissions, and you get the dialog (Michael S)
+ at least it worked like this a few months ago
