+ Image lifecycle re-work (Tamas)
+ an OpenCL subset for whitelisted drivers by default (Tor)

* Crashtest update (Markus)
+ futures / Manitu ordering update ?

+ a number of image-format import crashers
+ TIFF & other misc. obscure binary formats

to get memory protection issues sorted out.
+ XML / validation numbers:
+ much improved over time (thanks to Eike, Markus, Michael S)
+ one element Sun/Oracle forgot to include in the std. in 1.0
+ written by every version of OO.o / LibreOffice
-> 30% of Calc validation errors.

+ docx import crashers mostly gone; otherwise similar.
+ more files included in the runs now; 64k docs on import.
* Hackfests
+ Toulouse Hackfest [ This Weekend ! ] (Arnaud)
+ Confirmed for Nov. 15-16th
+ more details: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Toulouse2014
+ budget reserved (Eur 2k) - poke Bjoern.
+ Munich hack-fest [ Next Weekend ! ] (Jan-Marek):
http://www.it-muenchen-blog.de/2014/07/bug-squashing-party-2014/
+ jmux (IRC) can add you if you don't want to create an account
+ will have a BSP come-together; if someone says they're coming
just show up etc.
+ November 21st-23rd, 2014
https://wiki.debian.org/BSP/2014/11/de/Munich
+ 35 or so registrations - looking fun.
+ Need further offers [!] ... (Bjoern)
+ propose Collabora / Cambridge (Michael)
+ should consider Las Palmas de Gran Canaria/University again (Bjoern)
+ Freiburg - also an option (prolly better in summer anyway (Bjoern)
* FOSDEM bits
+ https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM15
+ 20 minute slots (good to collect talks)
+ please consider filing by mid. December !
+ Volunteer needed to book / run the hackfest afterwards.
* library bloat (Michael S)
+ not really an issue for release builds - --enable-mergelibs
+ big library + --enable-symbols -> OOM
+ especially problematic CppuniTests with use_library_objects
+ perhaps a barrier to entry to new developers
+ Calc: (with debuginfo) 4.1 - 413Mb, 4.3 - 512Mb, master - 600Mb
(stripped) 4.3 - 26.8Mb master - 30Mb
+ linking in parallel gives OOM issues.
=> avoid making libraries even bigger.
+ new calc engine uses lots of templates (Markus)
+ mdds usage is restricted to only a few modules: (Kohei)
+ 5-6 translation units only.
+ whole code-base is using lots more templates (Markus)
+ compilation speed also got more than 2x slower (Kohei)
+ use of own templates & container -> STL
+ recently turned a lot of methods to inline methods left/right (Kohei)
+ some data needed: how many people show up at hackfest with <= 8GB ram to build?
+ ask people at hackfest.
+ include what you use patch from Riccardo (Michael)
+ the real sol'n to compile time is not including so much.
* UX Update (Kendy)
+ lots of controversy sorted out, minutes posted
+ lots of nice UX related patches went in
+ Caolan's "delete in masterpages"
+ drop-downs for insert-bullet / numbering
+ default to Sifr on Mac/OS [ should be in late-features ]
+ reminder: UI-Freeze: week 51/Dec 15
+ Heiko from user-prompt should publish surveys
+ 2x new people joined yesterday: Ahmed & Stuart
* Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy)
+ page updated.
* Bugzilla migration update (Robinson)
+ data in a test VM, VM getting migrated today
+ anyone interested in becoming an admin / helping out
+ please ping Robinson, starting to hand out accounts
on the test VM.
+ also salt-stack work planned this week.
+ migration plan depends on release dates: early January ?
+ co-ordinating date/time with Tollef
+ offered to shut-down fdo to get a nice clean snapshot.
+ kindly offered to have a re-direct for old bugs
+ backup, X, cleanup with scripts, backup of that, we re-load that.
+ X: projects read-only for LibreOffice
* Jenkins update (Norbert)
+ gathering enough machines to do all 3x platforms
+ Aquinetic for Linux next week
+ Bytemark for Windows
+ go in & select which platforms, and a git ref, and it builds
+ allows testing feature branches too.
+ Jenkins on our infra needs migrating to new infra.
+ will start to make it run directly from our infra.
+ login/pwd usual suspects.
+ incompatible autogen changes
+ problems wrt. 1.0 vs. 0.10 - gstreamer change
+ no config file we can put up that works across 2x months
+ could we add these to distro-configs/ ? (Michael)
+ how much solved by removing fatal option checking ? (Michael S)
+ might work; some --best-effort option (Norbert)
+ once they're changed, we get several days of issues
+ introduced with good intentions but ... (Michael S)
AI: + tweak autogen.sh to not add that parameter (Michael M)
+ going to nine boxes, will need more machines
+ plenty of TDF owned machines out there; some at-home
+ creating a mode whereby you can disable jenkins if you need
+ will need an external ssh in from outside to manage jenkins.
* A Coruña University student project update (Jacobo)
+ thank you for your ideas 
reviewed GSOC ideas & ML contents.
+ propose one project, and I will act as a mentor.
+ learn from the experience to maybe run more projects later
+ The chosen project will consist on revamping the gallery tool
as described it GSOC page [1]. Feature-development ideas are the
ones that better fit the goals of these end-of-degree projects
as defined by the University.
+ Currently the students are applying for the projects they prefer.
Once it's assigned to someone, work will start in January/February
and ideally finish in June.

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Bibisect#Versions
mirrored on dev-downloads: http://dev-downloads.libreoffice.org/bibisect/linux/
+ Baseline for 4.4: Ubuntu 14.04 (any reason to change?)
+ Input on an older bug:
"Startup failure: XDM authorization key matches an existing client"
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76742
+ obscure, XDM specific, waay off the beaten path; unusual.
