     54 Killed by the kill-wrapper      gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
    - is that all uitest-induced? Yes
    - perhaps add the log file too, on the killwrapper output?
    - additional hints on zeroing on on the actual test might be from the         mass-rework, i.e. smaller test scopes
    - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/117752 revert hopefully will fix the problem
      - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/117392 might also be problematic (along with other uitest guard ones?)

* l10n (Sophie)
  + any news on https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/refs/heads/master/sfx2/classification/ ?
    + Cloph planning to work on that next week
  + new contributor for Urdu language
  + lots of work towards 7.2 release

* GSoC 2021 ongoing (Heiko/Thorsten/Ilmari)
  + project page: http://g.co/gsoc
  + next steps: 
    + June 7, 2021 - August 16, 2021: Coding ← we are here
    + 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, 1 week to go)
    https://events.documentfoundation.org/libocon2021/cfp
  + encourage everyone to submit talks!

* What’s cooking (Thorsten)
    + some background discussions ongoing wrt improving a11y
    + Olivier working on converting guides into something easier to update or     access (e.g. pure html). Will submit a conference talk on the topic
    + caolan still hacking on gtk4, currently on drag and drop. Good progress.
    + Heiko pushing for a Calc survey – e.g. word wrapping and other
      features seem confusing, be good to get more data here
    + Xisco trying to get uitest error reporting better, improve diagnostics


* change.mergeabilityComputationBehavior=NEVER for gerrit.libreoffice.org?
  (Stephan)
    + http://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/3.2.10/config-gerrit.html#change.mergeabilityComputationBehavior
    + the new default since Gerrit 3.4 (we have 3.2.10), as the old default “has
      a O(N^2) runtime computation complexity depending on the number of open
      changes on a branch and on the size of the changes” (https://www.gerritcodereview.com/3.4.html#ismergeable-predicate-is-disabled-per-default)
    + hope is that it could improve performance for us
    + downside is that we lose merge conflict information from the dashboard
      page (but not individual changes’ pages) and the is:mergeable predicate
    + if people are OK with that, I’ll ask Guilhem to give it a try – can switch    it back on if need be
    + → no objections, go for it!
