+ had a high number of failures this week (Cloph)
+ flip side: ML has obvious improvements on average build time
+ ML job currently uses clang/dbgutil
+ replace the "canary" build with gcc/release? (Miklos)
+ feedback on ML? (Thorsten)
+ to the setup in general?
+ to the current config of the setup?
+ clang failures are now more visible because that's the canary one (Cloph)
+ use jenkins:all (as gerrit topic) to force the old 6 builds in parallel behaviour
+ most of my failures are unrelated to to the changes I do (Khaled)
+ a stuck UITest is not very helpful to see if other platforms fail or not
+ having a more stable canary build would have more chance to be useful
AI: try to switch from clang to gcc as an experiment (Cloph)
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ C++20 (Stephan)
+ multi-page floating tables in Writer, see tdf#155118 for details (Miklos)
+ JDK bump to 17 (Michael W)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/155377
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/155827
+ waiting for JDK 17 to be installed on builders (for Cloph)
+ the Linux builders should have it installed by now
+ Right-to-left math layout and other Math improvements (Khaled)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/q/topic:math-rtl-layout (7 patches)
+ Considering graduating visual/inline editing mode out of experimental features, any objection?
+ helps RTL, mixing commands + RTL symbols would be messy
+ plan to submit a change to make it non-experimental
+ a11y (Michael W)
+ fixed announcement of misc popup menus and UNO grid control by NVDA
+ fixed various a11y-related crashes
+ looking into issues with reporting object under mouse pointer
* LibreOffice conference Bucharest 2023 (Gabriel)
+ For those planning to join the conference, please REGISTER as we need this information for organizational reasons: https://conference.libreoffice.org/2023/registration-form/
+ Stopped the registration for the workshop, almost 70 registrans, looks nice.
+ To avoid logistical issues.
+ got extra rooms from the university, overall that's a good result
+ not yet clear if Khaled will visit the conf or not
