Norbert, Andras, Heiko, Kendy, Sophie, Olivier, Thorsten, Xisco,
Noel, Miklos, Cloph, Bubli
* Completed Action Items:
+ attempt to re-build a recent gstreamer 1.0 / core spec file
on our CentOS6 base (tdf#94508) (Christian)
[ GStreamer built on the baseline - and compiled against that,
need to add dependencies to our repositories.
5.3 will be vs. gstreamer 1.0 and 0.10 ]
* Pending Action Items:
+ simplify & cleanup broken Windows build instructions & test (JanI)
[ in progress ]
+ align release dates and issues, patch merging (Caolan, Cloph)
[ waiting on AOO decision ]
+ poke at MSDN licenses (Michael)
[ chasing this one ]
+ investigate a cron job that queries & auto-merges (Norbert)
[ the solution proposed by David - using his query & a JSON script
David has a patch in gerrit - to do the query completely in gerrit,
will be included in the next release.
Had a google auth. connection issue last week on gerrit.
patch was fairly quick.
https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/2087
https://github.com/davido/gerrit-oauth-provider/issues/64
David's plugin to allow Google oauth - is there & working. ]
+ tweak UI and get LiveConnect API key / build case for board (Christian)
+ still need to get API key, rest is done
[ planned for 5.3 release ]
* Boost system library pickup (Norbert)
+ we were building against this when we shouldn't have.
+ Michael S built a script to look at what binaries we link to.
+ thinking about putting that into the normal gerrit build.
+ white-lists things we are allowed to link to.
+ finds new & not there things.
+ any objections ?
+ a good idea in general (Michael S)
+ only into the build for some special release-build mode.
+ not in general.
+ if you switch configure flags it'll complain about it.
+ will tailor it to builds we do in Jenkins (Norbert)
=> go for it.
* Release Engineering update (Cloph/JanI)
+ 5.2.3 RC1 (janI)
+ will be done in two weeks.
+ 5.1 → 5.1.6 rc1 Oct 4th (janI)
+ due to tag Tuesday evening, will ping on IRC for last-minute bits.
+ 5.3 → 5.3.0 alpha 1 Oct 18th
+ when is the 5.3 feature freeze ? (Heiko)
+ Nov 21st - with the branch-off (Cloph)
+ Android & iOS Remote (Cloph)
+ updating the Android build requirements
+ should have found a workaround for the rendering issue.
+ Windows Server 2016 (Cloph)
+ should we bump our base-line to this ?
+ ideally with VS 2015 as well but ... depends on release.
* Documentation (Olivier)
+ Corrections on help pages by Gabor Kelemen, Johnny_M.
+ Notebookbar help page waiting for definitive name for the feature
+ new web CMS for documentation download/get involved, entry page
+ WIP, do not publicize widely yet: http://documentation.libreoffice.org
+ some more weeks of work before announce.
+ help and feedback welcome
+ linked to patch https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/28817/ (link to Doc'tation in Help menu)
+ many offline support for would-be authors. Good will but still a way to go.
+ can we get these people into the IRC channel ? (Bubli)
+ encouraged people to the channel, but ... (Olivier)
+ could we get a telegram bridge to IRC cf. conference (Thorsten)
+ might be interesting to see if we can (Olivier)
+ want to use social networks too.
+ "Join the Documentation Team" button on-line takes you to IRC in the browser
+ Guarani thesaurus patch cleanup.
