+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
+ LibreOffice/TDF as an organization has applied

+ already discussed in the Release engineering part
+ please fix issues, there is no better time than now ;-)
+ 4.1.x regressions [x > 0] (Michael S.)
+ those that happened between 4.1.0 and 4.1.x
+ candidates for fixing in 4.1.6 - many need some more triaging (Mac specific bugs or complex to
reproduce or needinfo)

+ would be good to make sure we don't have any of these in 4.1.6 [Bjoern]
+ in 3.6.x QA walked through those then and found most either fixed, or proved
not to be a regression vs. 3.6.0 [but one, but that was reported after the
final release]
