Hi,

this is hopefully interesting for a wider audience of LibreOffice developers:

 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2013-May/001039.html

the tl;dr-version is: As a non-Canonical employee you can get access to the
crashreports and statistics. This allows e.g. seeing the stack traces of the
crashers that happen most often in the wild, something that we have not a clean
grap on otherwise upstream at TDF (and also: which was the first and last
version this stacktrace was seen on etc.). As such, this information might be
very helpful in priotizing issues and even tracking down Heisenbugs or hard to
reproduce bugs.

Note that the access is still granted in exchange for an NDA, which is
unavoidable as the stack traces might contain sensitive data, but still I think
the data is well worth exploring beyond a 1-man bottleneck (me).

If there are questions wrt this, dont hesitate to ask, I will be happy help you
get set up.

Best,

Bjoern
