+ affected both master + libreoffice-7-1
+ the patch in question passed master twice, so it was just bad luck
+ updated to VS 2019 16.10 – not happy with master
+ don’t update if you have no time to fix the problem:
"C:/cygwin/home/tdf/jenkins/workspace/gerrit_windows/connectivity/source/drivers/mysqlc/mysqlc_preparedstatement.cxx(98): error C2228: left of '.bDisposed' must have class/struct/union"

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ idea: coordinate development topics, which are not yet in git and/or not yet advertised too much
+ it is worth mentioning, especially if it failed :) (Caolan)
+ like the idea (Thorsten)
+ have a monthly report (Xisco)
+ those reports are very valuable (Thorsten)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/116038 WIP multi-column shape text (Mike)
+ http://caolanm.blogspot.com/2021/05/libreoffice-gtk4-port-some-more-progress.html WIP gtk4 port (Caolan)
+ more on WASM, a bit more detailed other than “in progress” (Thorsten)
+ fosdem demo, was crashing the browsers
+ decided to strip down the binary size, mostly Armin
+ goal: Writer and nothing else → JMux upstreaming it to master
+ breaking toolchains left & right
* Freenode situation (cloph)
* anyone objecting moving to libera.chat for IRC?
* got worse compared to last week
* think it’s time to move
* ubuntu/centos/python/archlinux/fsfe already moved there
* libera.chat seems to be larger than OFTC
* Guilhem thinks it’s a bit early
* no matrix bridge yet
* would prefer to OFTC ideally, what is managed by SPI (and TDF has connections there)
* which is lacking for libera.chat
* looks better, compared to last week
* anybody objecting?
+ libreoffice namespace is already reserved (Heiko)
+ matrix bridge is already in testing (Eike)
+ no ETA yet (Guilhem)
+ support the idea (Thorsten)
+ don’t mind (Miklos)
+ AI: communicate that in a suitable way (without breaking the topic) (Cloph)
+ or tweak the welcome bot
+ not a split but a move (Thorsten)
+ be on 1 IRC server, access several channels there
+ flag day? (Miklos)
+ not immediately (Cloph)
=> proposal: get ready and by next week switch over (all)
+ will help to move by Monday (Guilhem)
