+ was a normal week (Cloph)
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ multi-color gradients (Armin)
+ Heiko & Regina is creating pre-defined MCGRs, so e.g. rainbow can be inserted
+ document themes (Tomaz)
+ tdf#155118 multi-page floating tables in Writer (Miklos)
* LibreOffice conference Bucharest 2023 (Gabriel)
+ call for papers: https://events.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice-conference-2023/cfp
+ was extended till 15th July
+ what is the status wrt recruiting volunteers for the different parts of the workshop? (Gabriel)
+ discussed this in the team in Munich (Hossein)
+ idea is to present different parts of the workshop
+ will write down who does what
+ most part of the workshop is covered by someone by now
+ general discussions is not covered: e.g. opensource/free software in general can be provided by a university professor if wanted
+ will send details soon
+ great, want to see what parts are uncovered (Gabriel)
+ university feedback was: focus on actual programming
+ other feedback: at the end the students should feel they contributed something
+ easiest to mentor when the solution is already known (Hossein)
+ needs time
+ do you know the number of students to expect? (Hossein)
+ 2-3 students or more?
+ aware of >10 subscribers (Gabriel)
+ will continue promoting
+ would prefer to set a minimum (Hossein)
+ perhaps 5-7 as min
+ already at 12 as of 2 weeks ago, fear not (Gabriel)
+ hope close to 20
+ upper limit? (Thorsten)
+ if hands-on mentoring is needed
+ might also generate interest
+ 2 rooms are booked (Gabriel)
+ probably can't handle more than 20-25 (Thorsten)
+ have experience with ~15 attendees (Hossein)
+ then then can happen that half of them don't come the next day / until the end
+ We have to account for a potential high rate of dropouts (Stephane)
+ A helper is always good
+ We can also encourage peer-learning, students helping each other
+ should think of someone else helping Hossein (Gabriel)
+ expect to be busy with organizing
+ perhaps involve a few students prior to the conference, to help Hossein
+ will raise the idea to the university (Gabriel)
+ experience from Brazil (Xisco)
+ one problem was: many students appeared then many went away in the middle
+ wondering: if the university can give some kind of certificate
+ discussed this with the university (Gabriel)
+ officially this is not possible
+ but something nominal would be nice, perhaps TDF can give something? (Gabriel)
+ something like this happened in Brazil?
+ yes, that was indeed the case (Olivier)
+ could TDF implement something like this?
+ will discuss this later (Olivier, Gabriel)
