[ link to patches that are older than 6 weeks.
Abandoning gets them off the list - but you can always re-vitalize them.
AI: Rescue your patch now - or have it abandoned for you by next week (Bjoern) ]
* GSoC (missing)
+ student application period: March 16 to March 27th
+ looks like a good number of student applications
+ gone through the names briefly (Kendy)
+ quite a few returning students: nice ! (Bjoern)
+ calc - re-factoring God objects - may be hard (Markus)
+ ScDocument is used to hide much of the core from the rest.
+ currently ScDocument is the abstraction.
+ could we turn it into generic re-factoring (Kendy)
+ mess around pixels, twips, mapmode nastiness.
+ Wiki page for tasks:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas
* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
+ 4.4.2 RC2 status
+ tagged today, windows build still running, Mac & Linux up-loaded to
the pre-release server
+ buildfix1 tag as well.
+ missing test doc. caused a build to fail.
+ 4.3.7 RC1 April 7th or so
+ 2x weeks out.
+ 5.0.0 ? (ono) - 1st Alpha release - April 13th
+ week after 4.3.7
+ marketing / version-number survey in progress ...
+ Windows 64 bit story ? (Stephan)
+ targetting this for Alpha 1 with Norbert (Cloph)
+ Android & iOS Remote
+ Android - promoted to production;
now supports watches ...
AI: + poke Italo wrt. new shiny thing (Cloph)
* Crashtest update (Markus / Caolán)
+ using old officeotron
+ will be fixed with the run starting tomorrow
+ part of restoring the VM on new H/W
+ this should nail a number of bogus OOXML errors.
+ well worth having the latest version yourself.
+ regression around xls export crashes
+ jumped recently from 5 to 130.
+ still need to get asan working again
+ something of a space issue currently.
+ need for ubsan?
+ it does find problems (Stephan)
+ would be useful to have it there.
+ have some notes on settting it up:
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/-fsanitize#-fsanitize.3Dundefined>
+ import side looks good - thanks to Caolan.
* Writer SwClient/SwModify refactoring (Bjoern)
+ have you talked to Michael S ? (Michael)
+ not yet.
+ Horrible SwIterators ...
+ pokes into the internals of listeners etc.
+ would be great to get rid of; what is listening to what ?
+ didn't see before.
+ The broadcaster/listener relations for writer tables are rather bottom-up:
e.g. a SwTable is listening on a SwTableFrm etc.
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer/Core_And_Layout#Tables
this means the _model_ is listening to the view (partially)
assumption: this is the root cause for a lot of writer table bug pain
+ How to cope with/fix that?
+ tempted to slowly try to un-tangle the mess.
+ does indeed sound insane (Miklos)
+ good idea to build with Clang; SAL_OVERRIDE etc.
* Las Palmas hack-fest update (Stephan)
+ hoped for more enthusiasm from students etc.
+ seven students, with no C++ experience.
+ not a great recruitment experience.
+ mostly a Java background (Markus)
+ contact with the uni. busy - mid semester (Thorsten)
+ good to have people on the ground.
+ got interested people from a Google coding group
+ ideal to pick locations with a strong C++ / tech comp. sci focus.
+ on the plus side was great to meet in person & hack together (Thorsten)
+ lots of unis switching to Java / Python (Markus)
+ even Karlsruhe - bit of C for embedded, but no C++ anymore
+ 2x applicants for the Haskell C++ bridge (Stephan)
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
+ Cambridge, UK - May 2015 - contact (Michael)
+ 21st -> 23rd May confirmed. Thur / Fri / Sat.
+ Cambridge Beer Festival overlap / Punting Excursion planned etc.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Cambridge2015
AI: + poke about students (Michael)
* UX Update (Kendy)
+ even more breeze icons - even more complete (wow)
+ plan to switch the fallback instead of from breeze -> Sifr
+ from Sifr -> Breeze
+ quite a minimalistic theme; but with colour highlights.
+ Kubuntu encouraged back-porting Breeze to next Ubuntu (Bjoern)
+ Should we make Breeze default for Windows 10 ? (decided not to yet)
+ finalized CMIS mockup based on feedback
+ otherwise ready for GSOC impl.
+ blog about insert->special character item
+ this Friday, discuss the shapes sidebar
+ some big changes in how draw is organized,
more like a normal drawing / diagramming app.
+ good to get this stuff better advertised.
+ nice article about LibreOffice in CT - 10x pages (Bjoern)
+ 4x pages on extensions - "best extensions" foo
+ worth examining those:
+ should they be core features / default behaviors ?
+ can we get a list of them on the design list (Kendy)
AI: + send to the list (Bjoern)
* l10n Update (Sophie)
+ nothing new.
* Committers
+ Henry Castro - ok to commit to tiled-editing
* LibreOffice Online
+ new 'online' repository ... work ongoing there.
* VclPtr<T> - template build perf. (Michael)
+ product vs. non-product for builds - to avoid in-lining problems
+ have the headers in C++ files anyway (Stephan)
+ concerned wrt. splitting it out - weird behaviors (Bjoern)
+ in the beginning nice, but have reservations.
+ same code in both places (Michael)
+ concerned wrt. the toggle.
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy)
+ looked at last year's commits; perhaps a few people.
+ propose Thorsten for the Committee (Michael)
+ say once a week "nothing done" (Bjoern)
=> appoint Thorsten.
+ perhaps a community person too ? (Bjoern)
+ wait for a volunteer from the ESC (Michael)
* Jenkins update (Norbert)
+ jenkins: http://ci.libreoffice.org/view/Dashboard/
+ lcov: http://lcov.libreoffice.org/
+ goals for passing builds (Bjoern)
+ wondered - if we should keep an eye and see if they
move in a bad direction.
+ numbers - ~10% of master builds fail on Linux.
+ a bit too low/bad (?)
+ not too bad for the newcomer hopefully,
not a time-to-fix
+ ideally we'd have our fabled portal (Michael)
+ how much work for Norbert to gen the numbers ? (Bjoern)
* re-visit with Norbert.
* QA (Robinson)
+ UNCONFIRMED at 287
+ an historic low.
+ needAdvice at 11
+ Bibisect: 44max ready, 45max repo close
+ mjayfrancis doing great work here.
+ these repos include builds for every commit
(with some exceptions) on the release branches
+ 7Gb or less for each of these.
+ looking at similar things for Windows
+ primary platform for QA is Linux but ...
+ recruiting people heavily.
+ if QA is 'bored' (Bjeorn)
+ could we combine bibisect with the crash-testing repo
=> automatically bibisect and find what commit caused the
<N> new crashing documents to fail.
* QA stats:
