+ lots of discussion in UX call yesterday
+ Frames set to wrap-trough will be transparent by default tdf#71920
+ UX tweak to the defaults for frames (but not shapes, images)
+ Concerns to use the newly bundled Liberation font in templates
+ instead of Arial/Times? Or rather go with
Calibri/Cambria/Carlito/Caladea | Noto.
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/43625/
+ not blocking it (Kendy)
+ previously the shell extension used Arial
+ concern wrt. metric compatibility
+ don’t create documents as if they’re from a different program (Heiko)
+ Liberation good for branding.
=> go with new templates as is.
* clang-format-ness review (Miklos)
+ discussed versions situation with sberg
=> will give-up on supporting mutiple versions
+ git hook only works with 5.0.0 stable version
+ prints a warning if you modify a non-black-list file.
+ prints out a link to the binaries
+ would be nice to progress on gerrit integration
+ is it useful to have a script in core to validate the latest commit ?
+ ci would call the script – and heavy lifting is done.
+ can we catch a jenkins env. var ? (Kendy)
+ have an additional state in gerrit –
verified → code review → code style +1/-1
+ nice and clean but …
+ can create a bot with permission to set +1 (Thorsten)
+ gerrit side is all prepared.
+ need S/W somewhere that pings & replies.
AI: + script a ‘make check’ option (Miklos)
+ can all be in ‘core’ - a random ‘make’ target.
+ just check the last commit.
+ any problems this week ?
* Crash Hunting (Caolan)
+ 0 import failures, 3 export failures
+ lots of export fixes, new run underway
+ seems to have some stability now in import/export failures
+ perhaps fuzzing helping reduce randomness here too.
+ 125 coverity
+ caused by the new version of coverity
+ plan to iterate a couple of small patches to reduce them.
+ 38(+1) fuzzers * 3 sanitizers+engine combos (asan+libfuzzer, ubsan+libfuzzer,
asan+afl)
+ enabled afl fuzzing engine as well.
+ get three entities from the 4 possible combinations
+ added DIF interchange format from calc
+ remaining modern MS office formats are ~done
+ decent trickle of things coming done.
+ AOO CC’d on all of these via officesecurity

* Hackfests & Events (Thorsten)

+ https://skyfromme.wordpress.com/2017/08/27/hackfests-the-next-generation/
+ good suggestions from Regina
+ Hamburg – 1st new-style hackfest
+ deferred to next year ...
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfests/HackfestTNG
