* l10n (Sophie)
   + no Sophie this week
   + weblate instance status: still discovering, feedback collection
   + already migrated from pootle for master, 6.3 may or may not be migrated
   + pondering also importing the old history, not sure if it will be worth it
   + new language: Malay
   + is Online migrated to weblate as well? (Miklos)
     + plan: do the same, at some state (Cloph)
     + perhaps better git integration
     + updated templates on both pootle/weblate and core/online
       + no project is on both (avoids confusion)

* Graphics architecture (Thorsten)
  * https://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/ESC_graphics_architecture
  * skia status: see the updated feature/skia branch in core.git (Miklos)
    * hope to merge this branch to master after the libreoffice-6-4 branch-off
    * current defaults: enabled build-time, disabled runtime
      (later: replace the OpenGL default with skia+vulkan on Windows)
  * watch the dev list for detailed questions (Thorsten)

* docx/xlsx-aggressive-competitors (Miklos)
  + docx metabug status: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128194 7 open bugs
  + xlsx metabug status: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128382 4 open bugs
   + unchanged from last week

* Developer's guide drawings (Ilmari)
    + Ilmari suddenly realised it makes no sense to create UML diagrams in Draw
    + The drawings contain tailored representations of class relations, which cannot be acquired via Doxygen
    + Planning to use PlantUML - has simple plain-text notation, can be made pretty with CSS-like styles
    + Context: plans to replace bitmaps with something editable
      + plan to import the content into some (separate?) wiki (Dennis is interested)
    + use Draw for the task? (Heiko)
      + ideal tool generates this from plain text input (Ilmari)

* QA update (Xisco)

    + Please help flesh out the monthly reports:

    + Most pressing bugs:
     New:
        + MySQL/MariaDB direct Connection: time-values not written to table
            + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128698
            + not yet bisected
     Old:
        + Save-As behavior on MacOS Catalina
           + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126638
           + not happening for everyone

        + After Update to 6.1.4 on macOS fonts are blurred on retina
display (xcode 10)
           + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122218
             + probably depends on xcode version (Xisco)
             + but newer xcode is required by notorization (Cloph)
               + ideal would be to build with xcode 10 entirely
               + HiDPI screen for Cloph would be great (Michael)
               + found out: not a regression, but it is from a user’s PoV


    + New high severity bugs of the week:
        + Restart in safe mode: Open containig folder doesn't work and Show user profile gets a error message
            + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128538
