   + this week was pretty uneventful, didn’t need to fix much manually
     + odd Linux machine is now working (icu failure in the past)
   + surprisingly low test failure rate
   + particular machines are more prone to failures than others (Caolan)
     + if it fails once, then it typically fails multiple builds (Cloph)
     + but not a specific machine
     + lower spec machines are more likely to fail

* l10n (Sophie)
  + work is going on
  + Pennsylvania Dutch language team
  + now running weblate 4.8.1
    + solved some notification problems for a reporter

  + Mentors: please invite your students to the (online) conference (Sophie)

  + the schedule is now public: https://events.documentfoundation.org/libocon2021/schedule/
  + pre-recording deadline has been extended till 21st Sept

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
   + Gulsah adding odfundiff-based ODF diffing in crashtesting, WIP

* ESC meeting on Saturday? (Xisco)
  + not much interested (Stephan)
  + do we expect extra attendees? (Miklos)
     + probably who wants to attend an online call can do it anytime, the conference one will not be in-person, either
  + plan to cancel it if we don’t see benefit
  + agree (Xisco)
=> skip it that week (all)
