+ Updated remaining bugs id < 40000 unconfirmed.
+ Update esc-mentoring tool twice (due to gerrit updates)
+ bz tools added (to update comments)
+ some attention needed with OSL_ENSURE to assert() replacements:
might make the dbgutil build halt hard a lot more (Bjoern)

* embedded database / firebird mess (Lionel/David O)
+ inconclusive on mailing list
+ options:
+ declare FB only supported on platforms, where it can be
built with current compiler toolchain that is used and
decided by this project.
+ cancel MSVC 14.0 upgrade for now and wait until it's
supported by FB project
[ or help FB 3.0 / to upgrade (?) ]
+ give up on FB and use another embedded DB
+ unless we help FB to have recent MSVC support, not a good
idea to be chained to waiting for them.
+ FB decided - their win binaries -
will be built with MSVC13 - for WinXP compat.
+ not decided to -not- be compatible with future versions.
+ unclear if they have issues compiling with newer compilers.
+ originally effort to VS 2015 (Norbert)
+ from a CI perspective - it didn't build based on normal config.
+ decision: fix firebird, or stop building in a default config
+ or bundle their binaries (urgh) (Lionel)
+ deep non-enthusiasm (Norbert, Michael, Bjoern)
+ FB - not building on latest Mac either (Norbert)
+ not just windows.
+ FB - shipped as std. binary file-format is specific to platforms (Caolan)
+ pending work needed to use backup file-format instead.
+ just a bit of work from our side - not fundamental (Lionel)
+ FB - originally introduced to kill HSQLDB (Norbert)
+ don't -have- to have it.
+ current JavaDB is really a problem (Lionel)
+ need to replace it with something else.
+ user will only get FB if they enable experimental (Stephan)
+ problems are mostly theoretical for most users.
+ ancient version of HSQLDB is pretty horrible (Bjoern)
+ the way it is integrated probably responsible for some horribleness
+ decision needed: (Norbert)
+ effort to support VS 2015
+ not eager to turn it off.
AI: => regret; disable for now for CI (Norbert)
AI: + write to Firebird people (Lionel)
=> people ecouraged to contribute to FB / MSVC14 support
=> We are still eager to default to Firebird 3 for embedded db.
+ also eager for a co-mentor for Firebird ! (Lionel)
* Commit Access
+ ijzervreter from (Chris Sherlock)
+ great work so far; would be happier with more commits first.
+ Dennis Francis via Bubli
+ seconded (Caolan)
+ thirded, like the non-trivial fixes ! (Eike)
+ done (Norbert)
=> write to him (Eike)
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy/Thorsten)
+ pending next cycle.
* Jenkins / CI update (Norbert)
