Norbert, Robinson, Caolan, Bubli, Bjoern, Muthu
* Completed Action Items:
* Pending Action Items:
+ please check if you're listed in the mentoring page (All)
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Mentors
[ still needs some action from Kohei, Cedric, Thorsten etc. ]
+ UserAgent - drop bundled-languages (Michael)
+ UserAgent - produce a patch for review (Michael)
+ ask students to write their own wrap-ups to aggregate (Cedric)
+ write a nice blog entry about 1000's bibisect - including flowers (Robinson)
[ updating a graph, will post today ].
+ reach-out to Beta Co-working guy to book post-FOSDEM hackfest (Bjoern)
* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
+ 4.4.6 - RC2 status
+ tagged yesterday, builds are up-loaded for Win, Linux & Mac
+ can be announced for early-testing
+ available for all tomorrow.
+ 5.1.0 Alpha - this week ?
+ done either today or tomorrow.
+ 5.0.3 - RC2 status
+ due next week - tag planned towards end of week,
Thur evening
+ Android & iOS Remote
+ promoted Alpha -> Production for the Google app-store.
+ migrated build-system to gradle
+ supports debugging with Android Studio & lldb
+ if not giving the same results as ndk-gdb - try the other
+ they should both work (see android/README for details)
* Killing MediaWiki-Publisher (Andras)
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/19167/ => seems to be solved
+ not killed after all, just removed deps. to old & buggy bits.
=> modernized.
* Killing LibreOffice gconf integration (Bjoern)
+ gconf is obsoleted by gsetting
+ on most distros the settings in gconf will be outdated/unused
+ keeping this around as will likely just cause confusion as people will find subtile different settings without knowing why/from where
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41678
+ used to be used for lockdown and some prop. tools integrated (Michael)
+ RH not using it (Caolan)
+ Stephan working on a dconf version instead.
* UX Update (Kendy)
+ NotebookBar
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/NotebookBar
+ merged the prototype to master from the branch, guarded
by an env. var (export LO_USE_NOTEBOOKBAR=1)
+ some extensions of the .UI XML to accomodate this nicely.
+ Samuel working on Kendy's prototype here
+ Breeze / HiDPI theme work ongoing.
+ Tomaz merged the darkening icon-theme algorithm, design guys happy.
+ Table Styles
+ a new design session on Friday
+ last time discussed editing
+ now necessary to approach applying them in the sidebar etc.
+ keep toolbars or move to the sidebar ?
* Documentation (Kendy)
+ again some new patches from Jay for help-authoring ext'n.
+ will release a new version tomorrow.
+ #libreoffice-design IRC a great place to hang out to implement help.
* Crashtest update (Caolán)
+ 1 (now fixed) import failures, 0 export failures
+ doing another run again.
+ if still zero - need to try asan build.
+ coverity upgraded to 7.7.0, now c++ *and* java
+ project broke since marked C++ only.
+ 657 warnings!
+ mostly java or c++ rtti change related
+ what warnings do we get from RTTI ? (Michael)
+ dynamic_cast<> can return NULL (Caolan)
+ dynamic on const, and then static_casts etc.
+ helps find places where we can clean casts up.
* File format fuzzing to drive UX testing (Caolan)
+ video: http://caolanm.blogspot.ie/2015/10/fuzzing-libreoffice-input-events-with.html
+ file format driving UI input
+ got the server load piece done;
getting iterations from under 1x per sec. to 4x per sec.
+ file-formats went to several 1000 per sec.
+ events very far removed from consumption, so hard to
see the chain between consumption and insertion.
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
+ Hamburg, Germany: Oct 23rd -> 25th (Bubli)
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Hamburg2015
+ would be great to see everyone there.
+ Friday will celebrate the 5th birthday again with
misc. parties / politicians joining in the fun.
+ FOSDEM / Beta Co-working
+ do it pre-FOSDEM ? (Eike)
+ does it work to arrive 2x days earlier ?
+ slide-writing instead ? (Michael)
+ not much communication happening anyway (Eike)
+ lots of tired people.
+ arn't really supposed to talk a lot @ co-working (Miklos)
+ could we book a separate room for us ? (Bubli)
+ afterwards - could invite people to join in ? (Bjoern)
+ perhaps try it beforehand this time.
+ next venues / suggestions
+ Belgium another candidate ...
+ perhaps again at Las Palmas (Thorsten)
* l10n Update (Sophie)
+ did register #libreoffice-NLP channel - join it ...
+ rather an unfortunate name (Bubli)
+ expecting 'l10n' rather than nlp.
+ asked on the l10n list for feedback, people preferred NLP (Cloph)
AI: + could setup a notification message for -l10n -> NLP (Cloph)
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy/Thorsten)
+ now we have 5 names
+ some new suggestions to come from Bubli.
+ reaching out to poke the happy recipients etc.
+ another round planned in a month or two.
* Jenkins update (Norbert)

+ an average week.
+ do we have any windows machines with symbol-server working ? (Caolan)
+ not thought that there are any (Cloph)
+ '39' tbox - not working, unit tests not working (Kendy)
AI: + will try to re-start that now (Kendy)
+ can we get a README for setting that up ? (Norbert)
+ nothing that difficult, either documented or out-of-box (Kendy)
+ ideally should be running on TDF infra (Norbert, Cloph)
+ is part of default tinderbox scripts (Cloph, Norbert, Kendy)
* Easy Hacks:
+ new easy-hacks thanks to:
+ Sophie, Michael
+ http://bit.ly/1KR4HWX
+ create your own by setting whiteboard to eg.
"easyHack difficultyBeginner skillCpp topicCleanup"
+ create new easy hacks from these proposed ones
(or remove the whiteboard keyword "needsDevEval" if not feasible):
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?status_whiteboard=needsDevEval
* include ordering (Miklos)
+ some people have strong opinions on canonical include ordering
+ when its a mess - adding new ones at the end a bit annoying.
+ can someone (who cares about this) write up some suggestions ?
+ tool used to remove unused includes (?)
+ sal/config.h should be the 1st include (Michael)
+ new contributors need to know this stuff (Miklos)
+ there is documentation somewhere - talking about sal/config (Norbert)
+ a rule almost never followed; but technically good.
+ after that - avoid a mixed up zoo.
+ some sort of rough ordering; system, external modules, local
+ easier to read & maintain.
+ another rule: (Bjoern)
+ after sal/config.h - include header corresponding to your file
+ as the 1st include; so the header is self-contained & complete.
+ even this rule questionable (Stephan)
+ lets not bike-shed.
+ problematic to cleanup by re-ordering with no real merit (Stephan)
+ conflicting cleanups that revert each other's patches (Miklos)
+ some is cosmetic, but not all can be resolved technically (Norbert)
+ cosmetic -> multiple ways to do it; just one way.
+ what the old OOo code conventions say about it: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Cpp_Coding_Standards/HEADERS
+ "include what you use" triggered this (Miklos)
+ if so - reducing pointless churn a goal (Michael)
+ also improving the include hierarchy
=> leave it for now.
* QA update (Robinson)
+ UNCONFIRMED at 483
+ lower.
+ needAdvice at 15
+ thanks for the VclPtr bisection work from Bjoern (Michael)

* bug stats (Robinson)
+ previously - hand-chosen; tagged on earliest live series.
+ would get moved forward when we retired the series.
+ here, we have them sitting as far back as we can trace.
+ can we add the 4.5 and 5.0 together ? (Michael)
+ yes (Robinson)
+ can we have a 5.1 number ? (Michael)
+ yes (Robinson)
+ can we have a sum of all still open bugs for
all versions vs. closed for this version (Michael)
+ by release series? sure (Robinson)
+ is something still open since 3.3 truly a MAB ? (Michael)
+ worth looking at again ?
AI: + discard MAB series (Michael)
+ closed bugs are pretty random (Bjoern)
+ new set of graphs from next week.
