* Present:
+ Caolan, Thorsten, Cloph, Heiko, Hossein, Justin, Khaled, Olivier, Stephan, Xisco, Michael S, Miklos, Florian, Eike
* Completed Action Items:
+ write to the marketing mailing list, explaining it's a good idea to make that decision now (Justin)
+ disable the problematic part of CppunitTest_sw_uiwriter4 for now (Xisco)
+ send the final LOCOn 2023 workshop dates to Gabriel by the end of the last week (Hossein/Stephane)
+ Done -> 21-23 Sepmtber (conference days)
* Pending Action Items:
* Release Engineering update (Cloph/Xisco)
+ 7.6 status: feature freeze in 1 week + beta 1 / feature freeze
+ rc 1 will be in 5 weeks / string / UI freeze
+ bring up late features if they won't make that date!
+ pin items on the start center (Heiko)
+ gerrit change: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/152136
+ 7.5 status: 7.5.4 rc2 this week, has been tagged yesterday
+ marketing clarified that the next version number is 24.2 (or 2024.2) (Justin)
+ "The one that fits best development: 24.2 or 2024.2 are the same for marketing"
-suggest NOT 2024.2 (either 2024.02 or 24.(0)2 (date-hints are always 2 digit)
-suggest 24.2.0 - 24.2.7 as first stated/hinted at by marketing (Justin)
-safe: no need to require LO or external scripts to handle zero-padded versions.
- concerned about dropping "20" from the "2024" (Stephan)
- jumping from 99 is 2100 would be a possibility
- 2024.2 is easier to recognize (Heiko)
- 24 internally, 2024 externally? (Hossein)
- important point: date-based (Cloph)
- wonder if it'll be always releasing in February / August (Xisco)
- don't think it'll be that confusing (Cloph)
- the version label will reflect the change, if needed
- main reason is to avoid finding arguments for version bump, made up, after the fact
- was it considered to just always increment the major version like Firefox / Chrome does it? (Khaled)
- would avoid completely switching
- was considered, but rejected: would not provide any benefit compared to randomly bumping the major version (Cloph)
- just increasing major version would also follow some projects (Michael S)
- difference vs Firefox / Chrome (Thorsten)
- nobody cares about the version anymore, due to auto-update
- technically, 2024.2 is possible? (Hossein)
- 2024.1, 2024.a or .b?
- 2024 would be possible, but would prefer 24 (Cloph)
- letters are harder (think of app stores)
- not great to use different internal / external versions
- x.y as major had the opportunity to make big noise about a release (Olivier)
=> go with 24.2 / 24.8 (all)
AI: get back to Italo with this (Justin)

* ESC tender project proposal process (Thorsten & Florian)
+ reportedly Ilmari was sharing some list of projects to review, see below
+ Review of the items selected by ESC from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Budget2022 (Ilmari)
+ if anybody has further comments on the above list, deadline to provide your input is 28th of May (Thorsten)
+ couple of new proposals, but no cost estimates for them (Ilmari)
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=Development%2FBudget2023&type=revision&diff=672211&oldid=612682
+ worth estimating one or two of them?
+ process draft, full text:
https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/YprpsFP45z7a7p3
+ next: effort estimates (Thorsten)
+ default would be to just disqualify the items without estimates
+ idea: only do estimates for the ideas which would be tendered
+ if can't find anybody who won't bid to estimate -> also disqualify
+ ideally somebody from TDF staff should own this process (Thorsten)
+ has the info from Thorsten from yesterday (Florian)
+ the board will do the formal decision, based on ESC suggestion
+ need to declare who will bid
+ new proposals will need person day estimates from non-bidders
+ probably Ilmari / Khaled can own the process
+ need to publish the ranking: in read-only mode
+ will work with Italo/Mike on the transparency section, before the first tender is published
+ next steps (Thorsten)
+ for old projects: need to re-do effort estimates by TDF staff
+ good to publish the list of projects that are in the budget (Thorsten)
+ would like the community to participate (Heiko)
+ why not all TDF members do the ranking?
+ assumption behind that was that some projects are extremely technical (Thorsten)
+ internal refactoring: people outside ESC would not consider such non-user-visible changes
+ but e.g. 10% could be decided by TDF members
+ idea was to let the engineering leadership to decide
+ next year the process can be a bit different (Florian)
+ good to improve things next year
+ ranking is decided by the consensus of the non-conflicted members (Thorsten)
+ but the ranking can be done by all ESC members
+ Items currently in the budget draft (Florian)
+ Text layout Cleanup & further improve ODF conformance
+ Rolling Release: Finish MAR-based autoupdater for Windows
+ C++ accessibility tests
+ Support for Editing and Creation of SmartArt
+ Convert Impress slideshow to drawinglayer primitives
+ Writer tables: support cell margins (next to cell padding)
+ Bitmaps in vcl: Merge RGB and A layer into one
+ Stabilize cross-page table layouting
+ Font subsetter for font embedding
+ Bitmaps in vcl: Use a native format/depth
+ ODT export nondeterminism
+ Remove/Replace usages of XOR-Paint
+ Decouple master slide and layouts
+ Look-ahead styleref field for Writer
+ Normalized spell checking
+ Missing ODF Features: Concentric gradient fill of custom-shapes
+ Bridge the gap between drawinglayer and VCL
+ XLSX Aggressive Competitors tracker: gridlines for 3d line charts
+ new ideas (Thorsten)
+ better text justification
+ AI-based text-to-speech, OCR, etc
+ next step (Florian)
+ by next week: have effort estimates checked by TDF staff (Xisco)
+ propose a separate call, for those who want to rank (Thorsten)
+ the week after
+ sorry for the double-estimate, can't avoid that
+ sounds like a good plan (Florian, Xisco)

* Mentoring (Hossein)
+ Two new EasyHacks
+ Split huge complex functions into multiple functions with less complexity
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155628
+ no concerns, if the refactor is really mechanical and not mixing with functional changes (Miklos)
+ not sure if the metric is useful (Stephan)
+ think of a simple long if list
+ if that complex, probably best not to touch it anyway
+ input in the bug is appreciated (Hossein)
+ Deduplicate copy/paste code (reboot with a new tool)
