           + a few lines of code vs. 1.5Mb+ of theme
        + do we have SVG sources for all the icons ? (Kendy)
           + yes, we have SVG sources for all, but some keep on their hard-disks
              and not put into git.
AI: + encourage icon authors to put them into git (Astron)
        + multiple repositories with icons (why?) can we flatten that ?
            + can we get git push access to contributing artists ? (Michael)

* LTO / fields concerns (Michael S)
    + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75376#c20 & comment 21 / 22
         + looks like we have an LTO bug in VS 2010 affecting Writer rendering.
    + http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86@47-TDF/2014-04-09_12.09.54/ (lto enabled build)
    + http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86@47-TDF/2014-04-07_11.14.34/ (lto disabled)
         + would love community help investigating MSVC++ LTO compiler bug
         + in particular a unit test to catch that etc.
    + propose to disable LTO on libreoffice-4-2 branch
AI: + agreed - turn it off / push gerrit patch (Michael S)
    + propose to move to MSVC 2012 for 4.3 release builds where LTO does not produce this bug
       + TODO: enable --mergelibs on Win32 for 4.3
       + TODO: need to prevent JVM loading problem https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50584
           + currently happens to work because we use the same run-time as Java does.
           + there is a hack for JVM loading that looks around to manually load the run-time library that
              matches the JVM, apparently used to work with JVMv6 (used an older MS run-time)
              we could perhaps implement that for JVMv7 too - remains to be done.
           + I fixed this bug before, can give code pointers (Markus)
AI: + look into fixing the Java bridge for MSVC2012 (Stephan)
           + should we still target Windows XP ? (Cloph)
                + by default it doesn't.
                + yes, should continue supporting WinXP
           + didn't MS drop support ? (Norbert)
                + not for everyone (Michael)

* GSoC update (Fridrich/Cedric?)
    + still ranking / ordering students, check what's up
          + we've been kindly given 11 slots (whoot)

* Crashtest update (Markus)
    + still manually bisecting the .doc files for the bad one, so no new data yet.
          + just hit it - down to 200 documents ...

* Gran Canaria hack-fest (Bjoern)
    + April 24-25, 2014 (Thu-Fri)
        + see you there ...

* Certification Committee (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy)

* QA (Robinson)
    + holding the unconfirmed count to ~1000
    + BugHunting Session for 4.3 (May 23-25)
       https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugHunting_Session_4.3.0
        + Sophie leading that
    + buzilla migration (Norbert)
        + Tollef responded ! we have a dump ... / sanitised themselves.
        + re-loaded on a VM setup for that; got it working; seems ok.
        + planning to re-do the install/restore so it's scripted
            + to avoid problems when we do it for real
            + also helps for disaster recovery.
        + concerns wrt. scalability (Michael)
            + bugs.fdo. runs on a ~huge machine, we need hardware to back that
            + in 3 years - we're 40% of fdo bugs. (Norbert)
                + havn't looked at that yet; mostly a money problem
            + intention to get to a point: where we can have an automated
               install / restore bugzilla.
            + Tollef agreed to shut-down fdo during the migration to get a
               consistent data-set, change DNS etc.
                + Tollef also wrote a script for individual re-direct.
        + Should we change hierarchy / arrangement ? (Michael)
            + no - lets have fewer moving parts (Norbert)
                + get the data out, and then move it later.
            + can move it later (Bjoern)
    + lots of interest from QA wrt. OpenID support for bugzilla (Robinson)
        + see if others deploying bugzilla can help out there ...
        + scrubbing kept every user that ever interacted with LibreOffice, but the
           user password is a hash; salted with a per-install super-long string.
    + any needinput etc. bugs to highlight ?
