* Present:
+ Heiko, Michael W., Regina, Stephan, Olivier, Cloph, Hossein,
Thorsten, Gabriel,
Eike, Stephane, Michael S
* Completed Action Items:
+ Create the https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/24.2
page (Ilmari)
+ Create the
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Budget2024 page (Ilmari)
* Pending Action Items:
* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
+ 7.6 status: rc2 in 1 week
+ 1 review on libreoffice-7-6 is needed
+ late feature request (Thorsten):
Impress text edit improvement:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/154640
Drag threshold improvement:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/154379
+ Both effect how to interact with text quickly in Impress
+ don't introduce new strings
+ do change configuration
+ no concerns from Heiko about the first patch at least
+ but really necessary in 7.6? not well tested
+ fair statement (Thorsten)
+ but gets us closer on par with Powerpoint
+ available to fix things on short notice
+ strictly UI-related (Cloph)
+ lets push to 7.6 and see if there'll be an issue with RC2 (Heiko)
+ will do that (Thorsten)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/154642 (Thorsten)
+ involves a single string change
+ should be OK to make an exception (Cloph)
+ please ping Olivier,Sophi about it
+ will do that (Thorsten)
+ 7.5 status: 7.5.5 released today
+ approved in Mac app store, soon in MS store (already approved)
+ status of bumping Linux baseline to AlmaLinux 8 on master
+ successful Clang build
+ some GCC issues
+ bump directly to AlmaLinux 9?
+ GTK 4 as part of the distro then, => --enable-gtk4
+ otherwise needs to see how to enable that locally for
AlmaLinux 8
+ Kernel 5.4 instead of 4.x, so would affect more users
+ better stick to 8 for now (Thorsten)
+ latest DevTools is 12, use that or any earlier one
+ any reason not to pick the latest one? (Stephan)
+ not really (Cloph)
+ requirements for Qt6? (Heiko)
+ not in 8, not sure if it's in 9 (Cloph)
+ would be nice to have --enable-kf6 enabled by default (Heiko)
+ depends on how much work it is to make it compile on
AlmaLinux 8 or 9
+ tl;dr: continue work to make AlmaLinux 8 the new baseline
