+ 3 new contributors, 10 merged commits (all code related)
+ New blog post
   Adding a new UNO command
   https://dev.blog.documentfoundation.org/2022/02/23/adding-a-new-uno-command/
   + feedback appreciated

* GSoC (Ilmari)
     + GSoC 2022 application is filed
     + https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline
     + next step: 7th March: accepted orgs are announced
     + just waiting for now (Thorsten)

* Dev Guide was imported into our wiki (thanks to Guilhem for pushing the button) (Ilmari)
   + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide
   + lots of easy initial cleanup done (product name etc.)
   + would like to try bigger articles, maybe even one per chapter
   + new idl template created https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Template:Idl
     + sadly needs tedious manual work as Doxygen URLs have "service" or "interface" as a bonus
   + this is problematic <idlm>com.sun.star.accessibility.XAccessibleComponent:getBounds</idlm>
     + getBounds there adds an anchor like so: https://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/accessibility/XAccessibleComponent.html#getBounds
     + our Doxygen currently creates unpredictable anchors like: https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/ref/interfacecom_1_1sun_1_1star_1_1accessibility_1_1XAccessibleComponent.html#a61f2f4b0c2f1d355de2920cc984fe76a
     + mst said: there was an option that we wanted to use but it was removed in odk: remove PREDICTABLE_URLS from doxygen config - https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/15b53976e5d119877e53f34b34cee33a5f2883fd
because upstream didn't accept that patch
     + mst thinks this "docs/idl/ref/servicecom" problem was also fixed by PREDICTABLE_URL
     + patches in https://sourceforge.net/p/doxygen/mailman/doxygen-develop/thread/5183D2D1.7000000%40redhat.com/#msg30802342 and https://sourceforge.net/p/doxygen/mailman/doxygen-develop/thread/51A6175A.5040308%40redhat.com/#msg30909505
     + would be nice to link this from the Documentation or Development page (Miklos)
     + links from DevGuide to api.libreoffice.org? (Hossein)
       + that still has to be sorted out (Ilmari)
       + also the anchors are currently a hash, see above
     + api.libreoffice.org is at 7.2, is that intentional? (Hossein)
       + not really intention, but can be seen as tracking "still" (Cloph)
AI: update to 7.3 (Cloph)
     + could keep the old versions? (Hossein)
       + probably have enough resources, but how do users notice the old versions? (Cloph)
       + could perhaps manually link old versions
   + What edits are allowed for the DevGuide? (Kendy)
     + e.g. AOO-inherited branding
     + fine to change it (Ilmari)
     + perhaps delay it till we settle down

* Commit Access
   + None

* Developer Certification (Stephan/Kendy/Thorsten/László)
   + resting since: 8 weeks (limit: 20 weeks)

* Jenkins / CI update (Cloph)

   + this week: nothing major
   + CppunitTest_sc_macros_test fails on slower Windows machines from time to time
     + only 30% of last week's failures
   + one builder ran out of diskspace
   + have a new mac builder (intel macbook pro)
     + little slower than the mac pro
   + have an additional linux builder upcoming
   + python rebuild failure: python would crash when used build-time (Stephan)
     + feedback appreciated wrt this helps or not with the failing TB
   + do we have an M1 builder for the CI? (Kendy)
     + yes, we have one (Cloph)
     + but it compiles for intel
     + plan arm builds as part of gerrit CI? (Kendy)
       + not yet, but TDF will buy some more HW in the future (Cloph)

* l10n (Sophie)
   + investigating some missing suggestions from translation memory in Weblate
   + new Romanian contributor

* Various baseline bumps (Stephan)
   + clang updates on Linux:
     + are we worried about disk space usage on the builders for the old clang version?
     + not removed at the moment, to help building on old branches
     + should not be a problem (Cloph)
   + Update on bumping macOS build baseline to Xcode 12.5 and macOS 11.0
     + tb69 can't be updated at the moment (Cloph)
     + could disable this box + proceed
     + Cloph will take the bot offline + the change can be then pushed

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
   + Lubos is working towards non-experimental jumbo sheets in Calc
     + hopes to enable 16k cols as non-experimental on master soon
     + intention is to have more feedback, early
   + feature/sparklines (Tomaz)
     + Excel-style small line charts in a cell
   + now that the devguide is imported, now will probably remove idlc from SDK (Stephan)
     + 7.4 already deprecates these tools (idlc, regmerge, etc.)
