* Present:
     + Olivier, Jonathan, Michael W., Heiko, Regina, Ilmari, Stephan, 
Hossein,
       Michael S., Cloph, Xisco, Caolan

* Completed Action Items:

* Pending Action Items:

* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
   * 24.8.0 rc1 this week
     still on 24-8 branch
     string and UI freeze, additional review then needed
     24-8-0 branch in week 30
   * 24.2.5 rc2 next week
     + 24.2.4 emergency fix for Mac on Appstore (Calc crash)

     - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161461

     - Xisco: lots of reports, proposal to release 24.2.5 early?

     - Cloph would rather wait for more patches for 24.2.5 release,

       can shorten time between rc2 and final (release Thursday next week

       maybe)

   * Python on Windows 7 breakage (Ilmari):
      - propose: remove Windows 7 support for 25.2, add to 24.8 release 
notes? (Mike)
      - unclear what's meant with "removing support" (Cloph)
        + stating that it's unsupported is fine, but actively hindering 
users from
          using it is not (Cloph)
      - reported minium requirement on our website currently is 7, would 
bump to 8
        https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/system-requirements/ (Heiko)
      - Ilmari will take care of wording in release notes
      - actively issue warnings (e.g. in installer)?  (Hossein)
        - not necessary (Cloph)
