* Merging changes from AOO stopped working last summer (Guilhem): https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/refs/heads/aoo/trunk
+ No-one from LibO seems to have noticed (or care) in over 6 months.
+ Is there any interest in keeping a ref in sync with AOO?
+ Background: Current svngit tooling puts some burden to the infra team:
lot of I/O, entire 20GiB SVN clone from Apache, occasional manual fixes
due to empty commits and new authors, etc.
+ Can sync against AOO's GitBox (Apache's official git mirror) instead:
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=openoffice.git
+ Fetching and merging refs is trivial as long as everything speaks git
+ The only annoying bit is that the *first* run won't be fast forward
(our cc36ea7 is called 8c4c05 over there), so we'll either have to
confuse clones with remote-tracking aoo/trunk, or create a new
branch.
+ Personal preference:
1. leave things as is
2. sync against https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice.git
3. (way down) try to make svngit work again.
+ If taking openoffice.git, hashes would be broken (Guilhem)
+ Had this discussion before (Thorsten)
+ conclusion was: not worth it
+ annotations would break if hashes change (Caolan)
+ If you want to cherry-pick something: just add another remote
+ Norbert’s script does quite some tweaks to help cherry-picking (Michael M)
+ Would be able to make it to the state where we continue where we stopped (Kendy)
+ Not sure if it is worth it; anything valuable?
+ If we do that, would somebody have the time to monitor that? (Thorsten)
+ Would not have time to do it (Kendy)
+ I kept it up to date till it broke (Caolan)
+ don’t see much that would be worth it
+ able to graft it together (Kendy)
+ but can’t monitor it from that point
+ would be great to have some annotation for openoffice.git commits
=> use the openoffice.git as a remote if needed (all)
* GSoC 2020 (Ilmari)
+ April 20: deadline for review of student proposals
+ April 21 18:00 UTC: Deadline to submit slot requests (Org Admins enter requests)

+ if a proposal has to be ignored, poke Ilmari
