* Accessibility (Michael W)
+ currently in contact with a blind user who has written to the a11y
mailing list recently, ran into a few issues (uses NVDA on Win)
+ he's motivated to get involved in order to improve the situation,
but not a programmer
+ I'm trying to help a bit, and get a bit of an overview over the topic
of accessibility
+ since I have very little knowledge about the topic so far,
wanted to ask a few questions:
+ Are there currently any plans to do something in the area?
+ e.g. IIRC there was a discussion on board-discuss mailing list
last year
+ Any other specific tips or things to be aware of, people involved in the
area or interested in looking at a11y bugs?
+ or just best to start looking into this, and
ask more specific questions as they arise?
+ there will be some budget for this year from TDF (Thorsten)
+ some funding for a11y work
+ properly triage bugs as a start, the blocker ones?
+ developer mentor hiring is in progress, that will also help at some stage
+ we also have an accessibility keyword in the bugzilla (Xisco) and meta ticket 101912
* Status of Win-Arm64 at tb77-TDF (Xisco)
- Failing since Jan 20 (postgresql update, fails to find/use openssl)
- Job disabled in Jenkins
- Noel disabled because nobody took action
- what is the status?
- can have a look (Thorsten)
* pootle bot to remove >1w old Verified+1 labels on gerrit (Xisco)
+ looked at this a bit
+ loosing CodeReview+1 after a rebase
+ configurable? (Miklos)
+ probably not (Cloph)
+ concern: Verified+1 gets removed due to rebase, then CodeReview+1 is lost
+ plan: first sort out preserving CodeReview+1 first, and only then start dropping Verified+1 labels
* master branch rename (Cloph)
+ https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/3442
+ shout/mail the list if you have concerns/tooling that depends on master name
+ planned for end of March/first week in April
+ flag day or transition period? (Miklos)
+ plan: one-stop switchover in the repo
