+ Miklos to back-port.
+ non-common a11y code-paths from gtk3 on master in base fixed (Michael)
+ PDF export Mac (Norbert)
+ the DX-array bits don't work; so PDF appears not to be justified
+ fairly visible / annoying; fixed it 9k patches ago,

+ want it in before RC3
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88941

+ nothing affecting the core.
+ OpenGL / double-buffer RenderContext (Michael)

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90452#c45

+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/16622/
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/16623/
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/16624/
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/16625/
+ Android & iOS Remote
+ review still pending.
+ upping baseline to something that supports kde4 and possibly gtk3
+ be nice to suppoort gtk3 too - but CentOS/7 is a bit new
not a good idea to drop Ubuntu LTS.
+ CentOS/6 - to get kde4
+ proposed for MS 5.1
+ fine with it (Stephan)
+ no objections -> do it.
* UX Update (Kendy)
+ HIG guidelines updates
+ now out for comments: http://user-prompt.com/libreoffice-human-interface-guidelines-context-menu-and-sidebar/

+ help with Manitu support -> otherwise all well.
+ machine still stable etc.
* Consolidate mobile build configurations: Android, iOS (Bjoern)
+ Ubuntu touch playing with LibreOfficeKit
+ would like to have a small build set there too.
+ lots of Android/iOS ifdefs
+ does anyone object to have a real 'mobile' switch instead ?
+ HAVE_FEATURE_DESKTOP already there (Miklos)
+ ideally #if HAVE_FEATURE_DESKTOP ... #endif
+ also to consider - run-time tiled-rendering specific check in comphelper (Kendy)
+ comphelper::LibreOfficeKit::isActive()
+ perhaps some are tiled vs. not-tiled rendering
+ tests for Android / iOS (Michael)
+ checklist in the wiki to work vs (Miklos)
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Android#gtktiledviewer
+ best to do this all at once & then check it.
+ may not generalize stuff for iOS (Michael S)
+ cf. arbitrary apple app-store guidelines.
+ nicer platform abstraction appreciated.
* GSoC (Thorsten)
+ Mid-term evaluation status: everything filed.
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
+ contacted by Aarhus LibreOffice conference guys wrt.

gerrit all jobs:204 ok:119 ko:85 fail ratio:41.66%
+ looking pretty good.
+ all below 10% most below 5% - the 4.4 Mac an anomoly.
+ 40% failing on gerrit: expected.
+ some Windows bug that disappears directories - have to re-boot machines.
+ seems to be triggered by cancelling a stuck build.
+ the state of master is what matters; not gerrit - there to protect master.
* make check / JUnit deadlock fix (Michael S)
+ hopefully avoided the deadlock here
+ should be able to run 'make check' on windows too.
+ more spurious failures on Windows than Linux.
+ no known deadlocks to trigger here.
+ hardware in pipe - online before end of July: more B/W there (Norbert)
+ will try enabling make check on windows then.
* Easy Hacks:
+ new easy-hacks thanks to:
+ <no new easy-hacks>
+ http://bit.ly/1KR4HWX
+ create your own by setting whiteboard to eg.
"easyHack difficultyBeginner skillCpp topicCleanup"
* Regression / Tendering Ideas (Michael)
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/RegressionIdeas
+ suggest we get them fleshed out & then ESC attendees that care
rank them & send to the board ranked.
AI: + finish the page (Bjoern/Norbert/Noel)
* make check stability (Bjoern)
+ any results for master / 5.0 ?

+ tdf#92148 - Math: LibreOffice locks up if the bar on the left is resized
+ "has the potential to lock up the entire desktop"
+ tdf#91495 - Style preview in "Styles and Formatting" sidebar should be optional
