+ maybe some general community event around that? (Bjoern)
+ it is a general event, not LO specific (Jan-Marek)
* Mentoring Update (JanI)
+ pretty calm week - working on release & other bits.
+ gerrit: 165 open patches of which 105 can be merged if no open comments
75 from contributors of which 43 can be merged if no open comments
+ Wiki, getInvolved updated with softer wording on license and git commit message
+ Otherwise Work as usual
* xdg-app builds of LibreOffice (Stephan)
+ heads up:
+ would like to eventually provide xdg-app bundle of LO alongside
deb/rpm packages
+ ideally for LO 5.2
+ xdg-app: new format to provide app plus dependencies against a
well-specified platform (similar to apps on Mac, Windows); plus optional
sandboxing
+ <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xdg-app>
+ available for ~all distros:
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/SandboxedApps/Packages>
+ example repo with GNOME apps:
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/SandboxedApps/NightlyBuilds>
+ packaging LO:
+ <http://conference.libreoffice.org/2015/the-program/talks/development/#Box%20Office:%20The%20xdg-app%20sandboxing%20initiative>
+ single bundle with all langs, online help (and just x86-64)
+ still some details to sort out
+ maybe even possible to backport "xdg-app build" to CentOS 6 (to use
same VM as other TDF Linux builds)
+ is a tinderbox needed ? (Norbert)
+ can we re-use the CentOS6 base-line / builds
+ Jenkins is CentOS7
+ Views:
+ hope it works on CentOS6 base-line (Cloph)
+ no problem providing it if just triggering a build/
+ would be nice to have a list of known-issues (Bjoern)
+ tag in bugzilla ? or own platform.
+ love the idea (Michael)
* l10n Update (Sophie)
+ all going well as usual.
+ will create the 5.1 projects for pootle (Christian)
+ early next week.
* Commit Access
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy/Thorsten)
+ pending next cycle.
* Jenkins / CI update (Norbert)

+ pretty good this week.
* Visual Studio 2015
+ originally wanted only 1x version to avoid cross-influence
+ OTOH 5.1 doesn't build with it
+ concerned wrt. switching tool-chain mid-release.
+ if want to build 5.1 and master - need both.
+ what are relative risks of:
+ 2013+2015 vs. back-porting etc. ?
+ different jenkins slaves ? (JanI)
+ budget good, but not that good.
+ would need to do more setup work etc.
+ goals:
+ obsolete old compiler (nicer C++) - new baseline
+ ensure new builders can build it.
+ tinderbox is good enough ? (Michael)
+ problems with combinations; dbgutil, 32bit, 64bit etc. (Norbert)
+ both compilers on 1x machine (JanI)
+ linker problems, depending
+ not a big issue (Norbert)
+ each tree with its own compiler.
+ different libraries linked in etc.
+ about releases ? (Michael)
+ about Jenkins builds (Norbert)
+ release machines are locked down differently.
+ rather go with install both on T-boxes (Stephan)
+ will find problems in official cloph builds.
+ better than switching to 2015 on 5.1 line
=> install both versions
+ install 2015 on 2013.
+ consensus from all.
