* Present:
+ Sophie, Olivier, Michael W, Michael M, Miklos, Kendy, Stephan
Michael S, Caolan, Thorsten, Christian, Heiko, Justin, Eike
* Completed Action Items:
* Pending Action Items:
+ send code pointers to Olivier on UNO commands ↔ UI XML mapping (Kendy)
+ work with Mert to build an android l10n plan (Christian)
[ didn’t connect with him yet ]
+ mail BoD wrt. MS store update (Christian)
+ add screenshot builder to basic build stats (Christian)
[ it fails with Japanese locale – but it’s not in the translation
can build with all of these – and build runs fine, but with just
ja it fails – needs further research ]
* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 6.1.5 RC1 – tagged next week ...
+ 6.2 RC 2 – due week 3 ? – Jan 17th
+ tagged Tuesday evening – builds on the mirror network now
+ libreoffice-6-2-0 branch created
+ still require 1 review for libreoffice-6-2
+ and another 2 reviews for libreoffice-6-2-0
+ Late Features
+ red-lining paragraph attribute re-work (Michael S)
+ looking pretty solid; all in.
+ so far – just 1 bug from the Word file-format;
forgot to adapt the filter → fix for RC3 if +1 review.
+ will take a look at the patch (Miklos)
→ considers it done (Thorsten)
+ Notebookbar → any update wrt. leaving enabled (Heiko)
+ decided to enable – and see if there are complaints.
+ not so many so far; some issues with l10n
+ German & other langs longer than English l10n
+ makes things bigger potentially in one variant.
+ relevant for all variants with strings when you turn it on
+ compact variants don’t have this issue.
=> ship with it and see what happens.
+ marketing is happy with promoting it.
+ not a problem for now, but think it through in future (Sophie)
+ could introduce a shorter label in the commands (Heiko)
+ but a terrible solution
+ or comment to l10n that name should be short (Sophie)
+ Updated Elementary icons (Heiko)
+ directional issues fixed even for 6.2 (a bug)
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115986
+ Remotes
+ Android viewer
+ will provide a new version to the app store but no up-loaded yet.
+ Online
* Project / Donate popups in stable (Justin Luth)
+ unhappy with annoying popups for get-involved & donate for several reasons
+ open-source desparation / EOL signifier ?
+ eg. Wikipedia – EOL ? (Heiko)
+ security things: ignore adverts in E-mail / popups etc.
+ if LibreOffice starts up – get an advert …
+ don’t follow it – didn’t start it to investigate it
+ do own searching with google instead.
+ different classes of people: who would want to see it ?
+ no user would ask for this.
+ would like to see it die.
+ made me question / want to quit.
+ point quite clear in Bugzilla – can disable toolbars fine.
+ also against infobars from a user-perspective (Heiko)
+ decided in TDF team - rely on donations
+ need to draw more attention.
+ download from an app-store, who never see our download page.
+ where we encourage people to donate.
+ project relies heavily on this; a good balance
+ 1 click to dismiss in exchange.
+ fully agree it is annoying.
+ correlation between download updater & donations in the past (Michael)
+ potential compromises
+ leave it in for fresh, not stable.
+ one problem – not targetted at all
+ in the debug version → “please get involved” is annoying.
+ concern. wrt. Amateurish.
+ the fresh people you want to target more anyway.
+ am a sysadmin for 30 machines
+ end-users are prolly more of a drain wrt get-involved.
+ created the extension – but had to create it; took 3 hrs.
+ despite being the guy who wrote the wiki page on this.
+ lots of work on a small scale.
+ patches all go into 6.2 (Heiko)
+ get-involved is in 6.1.x
+ agree it is annoying (Thorsten)
+ there is a problem, TDF can only go so far
without a stable donation stream
+ not wedded to the current solution.
+ perhaps not the best venue to discuss → community / UX’y
+ slightly afraid of blessing stable too much
+ easire decision – not a permanent idea for stable (Miklos)
+ but just 6.1 – and come up with a better proposal.
AI: + propose remove it from 6.3 and 6.1-stable (Justin)
+ could make it an --enable-release-build thing for 6.3 (Miklos)
AI: => disable for 6.1 for now & release-build-ize it for 6.2 & 6.3
+ and continue discussing elsewhere.
* Documentation (Olivier)
+ New Help:
+ XSLT maintenance and optimization
+ some work on transformations ongoing
+ Help editor
+ Uploaded pre-alpha for evaluations (Mike Saunders, Olivier)
+ something to test here:
https://newdesign.libreoffice.org/help_editor/index.html
+ Split screen in 2 to apply xsltproc on the fly to get page rendered
+ Firefox only (issues with non-standard browser xsltproc)
+ WIP
+ Helpcontents 2
+ many new pages on Python (A Romedenne aka libreofficiant, Olivier)
+ Fixes after translators reviews (A. Gelmini, S. Horacek, S. Unal)
+ Many missing pages BASIC objects/statements (ohallot, A. Romedenne)
+ Update icons in Math pages (M. Robbinson)
+ new help system seems to attract people
+ Literature
+ Vacations

+ 6 (+0) import failures, 0(+0) export failures
+ 8 (+0) coverity issues

AI + caolan poke them on an ETA (if that will be available to us)
+ https://community.synopsys.com/s/article/Coverity-Scan-Update actually
now coverity is completely down for everybody with no ETA for

+ 1 serious
+ ForcePoint, round 9
+ two asserts/crashes on using crashtester over round 9
