minutes of ESC call ... (actual)

It was kindly pointed out that the minutes I posted bore a startling
resemblance to last week's minutes :wink: the reason is obviously
incapacity :wink: ... please find the real minutes & stats:

* Present:
    + Andras, Caolan, Markus, Michael, Miklos, Ptyl, Thorsten, Kendy,
      Jan-Marek, Cloph, Lionel, Stephan, Eike, Michael M, Michael S

* Completed Action Items:
    + sort out UX / QA call timing conflict (Kendy / Sophie)
        [ meant it differently, good to have translators in
          the ESC call, not the UX call ]
AI: + add Sophie to the ESC invite (Michael)

* Pending Action Items:
    + please file an Easy-Hack this week: just a bug with whiteboard: (All)
            "EasyHack DifficultyBeginner SkillCpp TopicCleanup"
        + thanks to:
            + Stephan, Michael, Lionel, Ashdod, Miklos,
        + http://bit.ly/1Dd4y8b
    + review / amend GSOC ideas page (All)
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
    + look into setting up OpenID proxy after 4.4.0 release (Cloph)

* GSoC ()
    + We need to have new ideas added to the wiki page:
        https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas
        + soon !
    + February, 9th: Mentoring organizations can begin submitting applications to Google.
        + we need a good page before then.

* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
    + 4.4.x bits
        + Mac signing still not satisfactory (Stephan)
            + hope was that re-structuring the app-layout would help here
              the signed app should pass the default settings
                + apparently not so.
                + too many non-executable files; shell-scripts / links etc.
                  perhaps the cause.
            + happy to look at it if there is an easy way to replicate.
                + is there no debug key for testing ? (Miklos)
                    + unclear (Stephan)
AI: + can get Stephan set up on the app-store account (Cloph)
    + 4.4.1 RC1 release
        + scheduled to tag this week & RC2 in 2x weeks time.
    + 4.3.6 RC2
        + in early testing, not announced yet.
    + 4.3.7 scheduled for end of April
        + cf. additional release earlier in the stream
    + Android & iOS Remote
        + patches in gerrit status ?
    + Fixed missing objects stopping us pushing to github / gerrit.
      https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/commit/ and parents
      refs/notes/review not rebased, so history of that is not linear on gerrit itself

* Bugzilla migration update (Cloph)
    + all is well; today a high-load issue, but now sorted.

* Translations problems (Kendy)
    + conclusions on translation.
    + no means for developers to do a large / scripted string changes.
        + just poke Cloph / l10n list.
    + currently unaware of UX people doing large changes just now (Kendy)

* Crashtest update (Markus)
    + VM is working again, result published on Sunday
        + 8x import issues, export crashers & validation not changed much.
        + running an asan build
        + surprised by a few crashers himself (Kendy)
            + using a slightly different script; why a difference ?
            + potentially has some more assert issues from VCL.

* FOSDEM retrospective
    + Brussels, Belgium -- February 2015
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/FOSDEM2015
    + Saturday - dev-room full of LibreOffice talks
        + lots of attendees; say 2x of last year
        + always someone at the booth.
    + Hack-fest good,
        + too many people to fit a single room
        + if people needed help - that was quite possible.
    + Board meeting at the same time a bit sad (Michael)

* Hackfests (Bjoern)
    + initial scheduling for 2015:
        + Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain
            + happy to have us back
            + suggested March 19th, 20th: Thur / Fri.
            + happens during GSOC application phase.
            Date is confirmed, sign up & book travel!
        + Cambridge, UK - May 2015 contact (Michael)
            Poking for dates here too
