(https://plus.google.com/107566594492891737454/posts/KSLmxKCT97M?cfem=1)
     challenging the survey itself but also with the explanation that 
function
     is not clear (checkbox → radio button)
   + should have added question about OS being used

https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/06/28/competition-libreoffice-mascot/
   + lot of feedback and pingbacks

          + Thorsten, Eike, Heiko, Bjoern, Cloph … have been there
          + Discussions e.g. of opportunities in education
          + also: workflows in the LibreOffice community (channels, 
sources and
            sinks of work items etc. => the project pipeline)
          + in general quite positive
     + Dev representative in UX meetings? (Eike)
          + anybody to step up?
          + summarize merged UX changes, were there dev comments on 
gerrit sidestepped etc. (Bjoern)
          + Kendy used to be there (Michael M)
          + Calls: Thursday 1PM Berlin time
      + Idea to have Mike/marketing in this call? (Björn)

for internal project marketing/onboarding/recruitment
      + Hard to track changes going in for non fulltime devs (Björn)
          + somebody to summarize the commits going in?

          + Mentoring person to come up with that?
