+ [Bug 155839] When propmpted about missing hyphenation data - I should be
offered a download link
+ [Bug 151976] missing Standard Toolbar buttons when editing chart
+ [Bug 155737] EDITING a cell: can't undo back to overwritten contents
+ [Bug 80188] Undo after Cut/Paste does not restore original cell contents
+ [Bug 155834] Unnumbered entries do not move together with their main entry,
when list's "move item up / down" commands are used
-> + [Bug 154756] Vertical text direction results in rotation, not vertical
text direction
+ current behavior looks OK (Khaled)
+ opt-in / new way would be possible
+ [Bug 155729] Set paragraph style drop down is able to create new styles,
which is unconventional (and not fitting the label)
* ESC tender project proposal process (Thorsten & Florian)
+ propose a separate call, for those who want to rank (Thorsten)
+ suggest to re-use the ESC call timeslot for this if it works for everyone (Miklos)
+ no objections, let's decide next week (Thorsten)
+ today Xisco updated the ESC-aimed sheet, on nextcloud (Ilmari)
+ categories: drop, on-hold, do it, split it
+ worked on the budget 2023 page, dropping already done items
+ proposal: Ilmari will update the final voting result sheet (from Feb)
+ keep the votes there that people added
+ drop "done" items
+ in the call next week:
+ discuss what to drop, what to postpone, see if there are any objections
+ would speed things up if people are happy with existing votes
+ dropping items -> some may want to re-consider the vote
+ who to attend that call:
+ 22 members in the ESC
+ typical bidders: allotropia & Collabora is 9 members, so no majority
+ understanding is that the people who attend that call, there non-bidders have to have majority (Thorsten)
+ this is for discussion, not yet voting
+ how to do that: list everyone, potential bidders mark themselves, then see what has to be done
+ for people who usually participate, may not be a problem
+ for the vote, exclusively non-bidders (maybe a week later)
+ need to clear all the bidder votes? (Ilmari)
+ different reading: can have all input still (Thorsten)
+ but follow the process: meeting, no non-bidder majority there
+ suggestion: discuss it with Florian and if he sees this problematic, tweak it (Thorsten)
+ one step remaining (Xisco)
+ internal refactors, mostly proposed by Armin
+ really hard to evaludate the cost estimate of those tenders
+ what to do? leave them apart?
+ for staff, it's really hard to evaluate
+ many of these items really hold us back (Thorsten)
+ what is needed here is a plausability check
+ the intention is that nobody can play games with over or underestimating there
+ but it's not optional, somebody has to take responsibility
+ if not possible in time, there is a way to contract this out, but it's out of the question for this round
+ when a description has code pointers & bug reports, it's easier (Ilmari)
+ having more description + more details would be great (Hossein)
+ 1 page description for a tender would be much better
+ it helps judging
+ listing bugs is already helpful (Thorsten)
+ hesitate to say it must be 1 page
+ history of that was sometimes everybody knew what was the thinking there without more details
+ we won't have any problems if we let TDF members decide (Heiko)
+ if there is a good description -> then members can decide more easily
+ this is not the purpose (Thorsten)
+ rework stuff that is useful, but not necessarily instantly user-visible
+ e.g. Android project -> no instant end-user-visible app was there at the end
+ can't propose pie-in-the-sky projects here, people will see
+ idea: 10% of newly added project budget to be decided by members/community
+ bugzilla voting can be used there
+ orthogonal to ESC projects
+ with respect, disagree (Heiko)
+ if explained, members would do understand the details
+ good example: gbuild (Thorsten)
+ is a massive boost to dev productivity
+ no direct impact for users
+ if you have a concern, best to discuss that for the next year instead
+ justification for 1 page doc (Hossein)
+ this is a formal process
+ having a longer description to justify the tendering is good
+ tenders are worth a lot of money -> better description can be expected
+ tend to think: we had small and large projects (Thorsten)
+ fixed 1 page is not optimal
+ instead: more details is great
+ next step: ranking discussion next Thursday in the ESC timeslot (Ilmari)
+ can lead that call (Ilmari)
+ no objections (all)
* Crash Testing (Caolan)
+ 31(+4) import failure, 5(+5) export failures

+ 5 ossfuzz issues

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ multi-color gradients (Armin)
+ what will we have UI for this? (Regina)
+ in 7.6?
+ don't think so, not in core (Thorsten)
+ wonder if gradient preset / template via ODF would be possible
+ started to think about release notes (Regina)
+ a document to the release notes that has some shapes with MCGR
+ so users can copy&paste
+ other idea: extend the normal palette with 1-2 MCGRs
+ that is possible in time, e.g. rainbow
+ not easy to have a nice rainbow :)
+ input from design team would be really good
+ once have a fix on master, can somebody help with 7.6 backporting? (Regina)
+ Xisco is open to help
+ that's a great service (Thorsten)
+ seconded (Miklos)
+ document themes (Tomaz)
+ Writer DOCX filter is free from grab-bags
+ added some more properties that are now theme-able (to Writer)
+ tdf#155118 multi-page floating tables in Writer (Miklos)
+ Added some basic SVG filters support (Xisco)
+ blur and colormatrix is added
