     - Shut it down?
     - only Xisco and Thorsten gets the mails (Cloph)
       - hope Jan-Marek / Thorsten would fix it
         - perhaps post-FOSDEM (Thorsten)
   + Next weeks: expect a bit more Linux/Windows build power (Cloph)

* GSoC 2022 (Ilmari)
   + Every idea needs a size definition and we need to have both medium (175 h) and large (350 h) ideas
     + 4-5 weeks / 8-9 weeks
     + none of the old ideas have this size
     + the # of ideas is OK, but we need to add size info to all ideas
       + perhaps default to the larger hour count (Miklos)
     + contributor can request: person hours, then have breaks
   + https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/defining-a-project-ideas-list
   + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
   + Org application deadline 21 Feb
   + https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline
   AI: reach out to pontial mentors to review their ideas, in term of project size (Ilmari)

* l10n (Sophie)
   + no updates

* FOSDEM 2022 (Italo)
   + deadline for the pre-recorded talks is tomorrow! (Miklos)
     + or Sunday if you really want... (Thorsten)

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
   + wasm upstreaming (Jan-Marek)
     + almost done
     + you can build a fully static soffice.bin binary now
       + except of course the system libraries
       + are you using the iOS/Android way to create UNO service instances? (Kendy)
         + yes, it's the same (Jan-Marek)
         + just some improvements so that the constructor list is built dynamically
           + it's a fixed list for mobile, because unreferenced services are removed by the linker (Kendy)
           + happy to hear that we share code here
     + there is also a --enable-wasm-strip switch to strip out everything except Writer
     + will you keep the feature/wasm branch for future work? (Cloph)
       + nope, once the WIP in there is done, it'll be removed (Jan-Marek)
       + the tinderbox can be switched over to master now (Jan-Marek)
       + suggest to switch it over (Thorsten)
AI: switch it over (Cloph)
     + update the test site once week? (Cloph)
       + sounds good (Jan-Marek)
   + further Word-compatible table border render commits (Miklos)

* Bisect repository with --enable-assert-always-abort ? ( Xisco )
   + would it be helpful to have an extra repo with asserts enabled?
     + e.g. every 32nd commit
   + can LD_PRELOAD the abort function to disable asserts (Michael S)
