      • 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%40gmail.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
