[ Astron made mockup, discussed with Cor, but not published yet ]
+ will try filing a lot of small string changes as easy hacks (Astron)
+ review HiDPI branch for 4.2 (Kendy, Michael, Caolan)
* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 4.1.5 RC3 status
+ released now, closed
+ 4.2.1 RC1 / final status
+ announced today, went public
+ 4.2.2 will be what was 4.2.1.2 rc2
+ did not change
+ deadline for the 4.2.2 did not change
+ future schedule - should we ~always do that ?
+ MAB:
+ 2 are more serious: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/50855
+ will try to bi-bisect it [Christian]
+ suggested change to the release plan: 4 weeks between .0 and .1, 5 weeks between .1 and .2
+ sounds good [Bjoern]
+ didn't we have even shorter .0 and .1? - ie. sounds good to me too :-) [Kendy]
+ 4.3 just before the conference, might be tricky [Bjoern]
AI + agreed, Christian will update the wiki [Christian]
+ some patches in 4-2-1 branch
AI + should be cherry-picked to 4-2-2 [Christian]
* UX update (Astron)
+ discussion about how to use sidebars in the future
+ new sifr theme: lots of people love that [Bjoern]
+ but some people would like to have it a bit lighter for dark themes
+ could we have some sifr-light for dark themes? [Bjoern]
+ based on gnome, possible to re-color on the fly [Astron]
+ some of them available only as png's [Astron]
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/01/libreoffice-4-2-new-icon-theme (see comments)
+ hi-dpi sifr version? [Astron]
+ would it make sense to exchange hicontrast with sifr-light? [Kendy]
+ concerns about accessibility [Bjoern]
+ not clear to me if the colors in the hicontrast are needed, or if the white as
the base color is what is most needed there [Kendy]
+ no objection to sifr-light in general
* GSoC update (Cedric)
+ Google review starting / underway
+ please consider what you are able to mentor:
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
+ cleanup still needed - everyone should review the page
+ we will have answer from Google on Monday
+ after that, students can reach us, by Monday evening it has to be perfect
AI + Cedric to poke people who haven't done any action there
* Crashtest update (Markus)
+ new crash-test / data (?)
+ http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/crashtest/f3d93434829d0e7c004679d000c30a934083b188/
+ will produce new one over the weekend
+ 15 fixes: real impact! - you can fix hundreds of documents
+ most of that can be fixed by pointer check
+ so easy stuff, go for that! :-)
* Problems in image scaling code (Markus)
+ can we use openmp there? anybody against?
+ nobody familiar here probably :-) [Miklos]
+ gcc and visual studio both support that [Markus]
+ easy to use [Markus]
+ go for that - I guess you know most of that anyway [Kendy]
* ODF TC / how we handle ODF proposals (Miklos)
+ typically developers add new features, and create an ODF extension
+ ideally leads to proposal that should be sent to the ODF TC
+ includes extending RelaxNG + description
+ follow-up was handled by Thorsten previously
+ has to be done in Jira, where only some people have access
+ some follow-up questions answering
+ ie. cannot be done by every developer
+ Thorsten cannot do that any more
+ do we have people who have access these days?
+ 2 people active now: Regina [TDF], Michael S. [RedHat]
+ Michael S. will talk to Thorsten
+ Michael S. could act as a proxy at least, hopefully
* GNU make, upstreaming stuff (Bjoern)
+ cleaned up branches, now at: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=gnu-make-lo.git
+ dependency caching: parsing of deps down to 0.6 seconds from 6 seconds on Linux (branch feature/depcache)
+ need testing on Windows - incremental builds
AI + Kendy to try it on his tinderbox
+ sugggested to upstream:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2014-02/msg00055.html
* Certification update (Kendy/Bjoern/Stephan)
+ we should start a new round
* QA (Robinson/Bjoern)
+ ciabot/libreoffice-bugzilla.pl bot got confused a bit with 4.2.1 :-)
+ if it hurts you, please check the git log & comment in the bug [Bjoern]
+ Bugzilla Migration update
+ Local VM for testing Bugzilla, Joel helping
+ NeedAdvice bug list
+ on the QA's radar
+ should QA CC people there?
+ there are few sitting there for months, want to have the list clean
+ remove those that are not serious, poke people on IRC for the serious ones? [Kendy]
+ Addressing bugs sitting in this category
