* Present:
+ Cloph, Sophie, Stephan, Jan-Marek, JanI, Michael M, Miklos, Andras,
Caolan, Bjoern, Lionel, Bubli, Armin, Michael S, Kendy, Eike, Robinson, Thorsten
* Completed Action Items:
+ UserAgent - drop bundled-languages (Michael)
+ UserAgent - produce a patch for review (Michael)
+ disable openGL by default for 5.0.4 (Cloph)
+ run the sw renaming script just before branch-off (Robinson)
[ needed a fix to a test document, accidentally touched,
kendy fixed for the future ]
+ improve new contributors Wiki, write blogpost, promote git-review etc. (JanI)
[ v. open-ended: in-progress ]
+ setup FOSDEM Hackfest wiki page with dates (Samuel stole this AI 
)
[ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/FOSDEM2016 ]
* Pending Action Items:
+ come up with a proposal for "abandoned" / "insufficient data"
resolution in the bug-flow graph (Robinson)
[ lively discussion, following up, decision by the end of the week ]
+ book FOSDEM conf. room for board meeting (Florian)
[ perhaps after not before to avoid hackfest conflict ]
+ list of developers who havn't contributed in a while (JanI)
+ check mDNSResponder & move it to external/ (Michael S.)
[ hidden 5x directories deep in impress ]
+ double-check libmar/src, update/src, remove the duplicate, etc. (Kendy)
* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
+ 4.4.7 RC2
+ tagged, Linux + Mac built.
+ Windows delayed; since VM died; buying replacement H/W etc.
+ will start build today.
+ 5.0.4 status
+ RC1 / freeze - Monday
+ tagging due later today / tomorrow.
+ all fixes from gerrit are integrated
+ very last minute fixes today / tomorrow.
+ 5.1.0 branch / feature-freeze: this week.
+ branch created, and beta1 tag this week.
+ windows build breakage just before tagging.
+ a buildfix1 tag -> corresponding fixes.
+ re-created tar-balls from this.
+ Avoiding large-scale cosmetic cleanups
+ until when ? (Stephan)
+ consensus so-far; try to do just before branch-off (Miklos)
+ one idea mass-run through code-formatting tool (Bjoern)
+ start with config / code-style we want to use
+ by the time we do the next release: finally look at it.
+ 6 months to bike-shed.
+ afraid, can't agree on include order, not ideal (Miklos)
+ removing parameters, defaulted etc. (Stephan)
+ calming down for a couple of point-release to help bug-fixers (Michael)
+ makes sense (Bjoern)
+ concern, never a good time for doing these (Stephan)
+ concern - size, and non-functionality are deadly annoying when
back-porting bug-fixes (Michael)
+ if a volunteer; doing rename member variables (Bjoern)
+ if 1st commit - makes sense perhaps.
+ agree with a quiet period (Eike)
+ will pile up changes in gerrit; but need reviewing.
+ piling makes them un-merge-able over time (Bjoern)
+ say - we discourage until .2 (as in the past) (Miklos)
+ not black / white - please try to avoid those.
=> avoid large non-functional cleanups until x.y.2
+ Late Features:
+ OpenGL - switch to simpler double-buffering.
+ Slide Transitions: artwork & polish
[ Jay and Andreas making new images - much appreciated ]
+ UserAgent display & tweakage
[ in modulo tweaking, cf. discussing a setting later ]
+ calc s/w interpreter-related patch
[ also got in before the freeze; an 18x speedup on CPU for
some test sheets; currently guarded by a variable - and
subsetting to just some sheets.
+ plan to test with crash-testing sheets & enable by default
Would like to look at it (Eike)
+ dislike env.vars set - avoids the unit-tests
+ plan to remove it before ship (Kendy)
+ turn into normal config & default -> testable.
+ would like to turn it on now - default on for user-testing (Kendy)
+ optional B2 in the release-plan (Cloph)
+ can have an intermediate release.
+ goal of the code - vectors of doubles
+ formula results (Michael)
+ moves big chunk of ptr chasing & branching from inner loop.
]
+ Android & iOS Remote
+ delayed, due to B1 delay.
* Idle re-work (Michael)
+ graphical event processing issue
+ scheduler cleanup
+ true 'idle' behavior - for wordcount.
* Documentation (Kendy)
+ proposed - rename of help files that are main / 000158 etc.
+ quite un-readable for humans.
+ localization community - asked; these get into po files at some stage.
+ needs scripting; but not a high prio. just yet.
+ mainly for non-pootle using translators (Cloph)
+ has some helpful scripts (JanI)
+ message contexts changes (Kendy)
+ not urgent - for now use an XSL file that indicates the
path of the files in the help (Sophie)
+ reasonably easy to find the file to work on.
+ guy interested in editing help, doing good stuff there too.
* UX Update (Kendy)
+ Meeting time moved -> now Friday 2pm European time.
+ based on doodle poll.
+ this friday - 1st time at new time.
+ Impress:
+ don't have tabs above the view anymore.
+ a toolbar button with a drop-down to choose what to edit.
+ makes 'masters' more obvious
+ switch directly to editing masters.
+ NotebookBar
+ discussion with Samuel
+ will re-introduce the work; maybe new name ? toolspace ?
* Crashtest update
+ 2 import failures, 1 export failures, coverity 315
+ import & export now fixed.
+ overall 10x down on Coverity
+ unusually new & helpful issues.
* UserAgent bits (Michael)
+ dropping language piece - from user-agent
+ native lang teams would like that (Cloph)
+ lots of people use English (Eike)
+ NLP care who uses their work (Cloph)
=> add the UI language instead.
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/20125/1
+ what it does (check it out)
+ OS version Win 6.6
+ Threads: 4
+ Render: normal/GL
+ not a technical thing (Bjoern)
+ we host the data at TDF
+ meta-data, identifiable.
+ only a few bits of info (Michael)
+ happier - if not for every ping (Bjoern)
+ do statistical sampling; 1% of users.
+ unclear if we want a "Opt in to share details [yes] [no]" thing
+ usual question - "do you want to update & we will share data" (Kendy)
+ we want people updating -> not attractive.
=> turn it in with some 1% filter of users
* Upload Java URE artifacts to central Maven repository? (Bubli)
+ useful for developing Java extensions
+ already packaged in Debian
+ check if they comply with requirements: http://central.sonatype.org/pages/requirements.html,
sign with TDF key & upload
+ makes building Java extensions much easier.
+ bug from DavidO - 3x years ago; now closed.
+ https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/1629 filed for cloph to deal with it 
+ willing to do the maintenance (Bubli)
+ would be happy for help up-loading -> help appreciated !
+ Can use mis-placed versions of jars to compile vs. (Stephan)
+ can't use at run-time.
+ aware of that (Bubli)
+ concern wrt. non-obvious failure modes (Stephan)
+ Jars need other parts of the URE next to themselves.
+ errors will not be enlightening.
+ is it for TDF vs. distro builds ? (Bjoern)
+ users need educating anyway - just for building (Bubli)
+ like the idea (Michael)
+ LiMux switched Wollmux builds to Maven builds (JMux)
+ has stuff there; used to build public releases.
+ Debian already build some maven goodness (Bubli)
+ artifact ID / ver / jar etc.
+ part of URE package.
+ for local use of Maven -> will point to local machine (Stephan)
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-openoffice/libreoffice.git/tree/rules#n2769
+ lets not kill babies (Michael)
AI: + help with sign & up-load (Cloph)
* LiMux hackfest update (Jan-Marek)
+ about 20 people, JMux split between organizing & LibreOffice.
+ poked at KDE5 backend - will take a while to develop a real one.
+ probably first switch kde4 from X11 to Qt abstraction
+ basically facing all the KWin problems from:
https://conf.kde.org/system/attachments/6/original/we_are_the_one_percent.pdf
+ code in private/jmux/kde5+rsvg
+ "It compiles but doesn't run"
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
+ GNOME hack-fest in Madrid - Dec 2nd -> 4th (Jacobo)
+ Wiki page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Madrid2015
+ FOSDEM / Beta Co-working (Bjoern)
+ next venues / suggestions
+ considering another Gran Canaria hack-fest (Thorsten)
+ March next year (?)
+ Turkey
+ talked to them; lots of enthusiasm & desire for training.
+ Terni (Italy) this Saturday ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Terni2015 )
* Mentoring Update (JanI)
+ lots of announce / interest.
+ Discussed with Italo, to reward people on 1st patch, 10th patch (idea from Bubli)
+ come back wiht a proposal soon.
+ Added new blog for newcomers, will be tips and trix
+ on the planet.
+ started looked at "hanging" patches
+ digging through lingering patches;
+ not clear why they're not merged; just 1 submission.
+ have reviewed a few, comments in gerrit.
+ Preparing for madrid
+ use this as a start for a more active spanish community.
+ wanting Jan to talk about LibreOffice.
+ List of non active developers: next step
+ concern wrt. E-mailing (Kendy)
+ and add 1x more question - ok or not to contact
+ get tone really positive (Michael)
* l10n Update (Sophie)
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy/Thorsten)
+ pending another 3 weeks, then will start a new round soon...
* Jenkins / CI update (Norbert)
+ interest at last ESC on how Jenkins stats are generated
+ can we auto-generate in dev-tools/scripts/esc-bug-stats.pl ?
+ please Linux Jenkins guys build with --enable-kde4 (Bubli)
+ to prevent vcl build breakages
+ check - is 'make check' run by CI ? (Michael)
+ not for gerrit patches; but is done for tinderboxes (Stephan)
