+ nothing unusual, smooth week, no new failure patterns
+ last week had a spike in failures, but now it went away
* l10n (Sophie)
+ work is ongoing
* GSoC 2021 announced (Heiko/Thorsten/Ilmari)
+ project page: http://g.co/gsoc
+ next step:
+ June 7, 2021 - August 16, 2021: Coding ← we are here
+ remind your students to send weekly reports to the mailing list
+ July 12 - 16, 2021: Evaluations
+ August 16 - 23, 2021: Students Submit Code and Final Evaluations
+ August 23 - 30, 2021: Mentors Submit Final Evaluations
+ August 31, 2021: Results Announced
* LibOCon 2021 (virtual) September 23-25 (Cloph)
+ CfP (til Jun 30, 2 weeks to go)
https://events.documentfoundation.org/libocon2021/cfp
+ the conf tool is now up & running
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ ooxml markup-level diff tool (Gulsah)
+ tool at bin/compare-ooxml-analyze-results.py in core.git feature/ooxml-analyze
+ found e.g. https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142716
+ idea: not only find problems, but also fix the found problems
+ meant to complement the layout-level compare tools and odfundiff
+ Writer: improved list handling (Thorsten)
+ now adding ODF support
+ and the UI stays the same for now
* MAR based autoupdater still relevant? (cloph)
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Budget2021#Finish_MAR-based_autoupdater
+ move to app stores
+ Windows Package Manager released
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-package-manager-1-0/
might make that less relevant even
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/l/LibreOffice
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68274
+ https://github.com/google/omaha (what google chrome uses for example)
+ is it still relevant? We have the idea on the tenders page (Cloph)
+ hope that app stores / package managers replace it
+ macOS makes non-app-store apps’ life harder and harder
+ see one more issue: no MSI support in the mozilla updater (Markus)
+ MAR may not be the right tool for LO auto-update
+ have MSI / MSP already, perhaps build on top of that instead?
+ Chromium, does it have the same issues? (Miklos)
+ needs research (Markus)
+ even the MSI is a wrapper around their normal installation set
+ back then the work stopped because of the MAR vs MSI conflict
+ disagree slightly that app-stores solve the auto-update problem (Thorsten)
+ browsers still to provide own auto-update for years, probably
+ from that angle, rolling release still needs it
+ be it mozilla-based or not
+ would it be a solution that the auto-update does a full download? (Cloph)
+ still then a non-admin user can’t install update (Thorsten)
+ prefer not something custom, use Mozilla or Chromium if reusable (Markus)
+ to avoid the needed security audit
+ would it work to have the tender worded in a way that does not mandate MAR? (Miklos)
+ that could work (Markus, Florian)
+ and explicitly mention that breaking MSI-based LO installation set is not OK
+ size of installation binary? (Heiko)
+ download 1GB a month? Not great
+ tricky to specify (Thorsten)
+ full download everytime is not an option (Miklos)
+ clearly desirable (Thorsten)
=> good to re-word the tender idea to not hardcode MAR (all)
