      + this week was OK, but there is a problem with the a11y test on Windows (Cloph)
        + it only affects the branches, which is surprising
        + not sure yet if it's just one bot or not
        + checked 10 failures (Xisco)
          + all of them were from the same bot
        + don't think it's a leftover issue, so either timing or config issue (Cloph)
        + interestingly master is all fine
        + unfortunately we currently don't differentiate bots when they build master vs branch
          + but doable, Linux has this
        + looks like it has a problem when the Writer Insert Frame dialog would appear, times out (Xisco)

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
     + A11y update (Michael W)
     + tdf#70039 WIP convert 3D effects to extrusion (Regina)
       https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/162594
       + see also the mail on the dev list: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2024-January/091501.html
       + it handles geometry (no material or light)
       + you can test it already
       + good idea to provide feedback, e.g. during the hackfest
       + currently converting the properties to 3D extrusion (Regina)
         + text is always in font of the shape
         + ODF spec doesn't describe what to do with text with extrusion
         + MSO has some 3 ways to do this, will need extending ODF later
         + so text is meant to be left unchanged
       + sounds great (Miklos)
     + Rafael's work on the BASIC IDE: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/q/owner:rafael.palma.lima%2540gmail.com (Stephane)
       + during the last weeks, several usability improvements + small improvements
       + syntax highlight schema selector
       + options page to be out of experimental
       + so more people can test the autocomplete
       + also comment folding / expansion (Miklos)

* FOSDEM 2024 - Hackfest Feb. 5/6 at ICAB Incubator
   + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2024/FOSDEM
   + if you attend the community dinner and/or the hackfest, please add your name (Cloph)
     + failing that, at least mail Italo
       - deadline for just wiki passed, so please notify Italo if you decide to attend (Cloph)
