[ one more review appreciated for 4-3-0 ]
+ poke potential Boston Hackfest hosters again (Michael)
[ perhaps Xamarin will host us ].

+ eg. bash's builtin ulimit [-SHacdflmnpstuv [limit]] etc.
+ setup some VM's that can be created on-demand (Cloph)
* GSOC Update (Cedric)
+ remind mentors to invite students to the conference,
TDF will pay for their travel (if they book in a timely way)
+ 4/10 is not a great score.
+ also remember to register for the conference:
http://conference.libreoffice.org/2014/registration/
* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 4.2.6 RC1 being up-loaded to staging
+ will announce shortly.
+ then will push to the mirrors for general public
+ 4.3.0 RC3 - final deadline on Monday for this
+ make sure your patches are pushed & reviewed in time.
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/q/status:open+project:core+branch:libreoffice-4-3-0,n,z
+ Android / iOS remotes
+ patch in gerrit for gradle build-system.
+ will investigate that wrt. tools for new android developers
+ requirements (Michael)
1. reproducible - gradle allows explicit versions unlike
black magic / mavern. (Cloph)
2. compliant - need to be able to re-build the same thing
in future - identically
+ virtually no external deps (Cloph)
* 2 minute Umesh / Synezip introduction (Umesh)
+ working on interop. of DOCX, working for last 8-10 months.
+ chart / and other areas.
+ working on combinations of shapes import / export
+ also working on regression tests
+ running scripts on random files from bugzilla
+ see if there is any crash / corruption etc.
+ working on crash/corruption issues too
AI: + can you open-source those and speak on the conference (Umesh)
* Mail Merge (Eilidh,Bjoern,Jan-Marek)
+ Multiple people looking at this (Bjoern)
+ no wonder it is very slow; if you use the std. way of clicking
through the UI
+ it creates one document, then it merges the 2nd one into that &
re-layout
with each step.
+ huge cost for 10k documents - some N^2.
+ one reason - is to remember the page number to split the document
+ really quite insane.
+ naive approach - use bookmarks to split the documents ...
+ could save the re-layout.
+ Have some examples - 16k -> 20k documents (Jan Marek)
+ the copying of the docs gets slower & slower.
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80823
+ layouting is 3-4% the rest is just copying.
+ in the copying of the underlying document.
+ Primary problem cf. mail (Jan Marek)
+ see
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2014-July/062227.html for the
gory details
+ loading of a document is broken: with paragraph-bound anchors.
+ patches in private/jmux/mailmerge-fixes branch - can create copies.
+ before that, copying from A->B is broken.
+ lots of pending patches; want to finish them and write
some unit tests from test docs in mail-merge bugs.
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80926
+ Bjoern's callgrind results are different (Bjoern)
+ with an artificial document, perhaps not representative, but
showed the problem ~all in layout.
+ Something has changed wrt. copying the SwNodes (Jan-Marek)
+ performance is hard to keep good (Michael)
+ be great to have a test we can add to our performance tests
+ working on a branch: private/jmux/mailmerge-fixes
+ should all work on same branch ? (Bjoern)
+ currently doing re-factoring elsewhere (Ellie)
+ breaking down the massive / monolithic mail merge fn.
+ mail-merge is now working correctly (Jan-Marek)
+ problem with anchors
+ looking for free-lancers to do some LibreOffice work with Munich
(Jan-Marek)
+ primary bug fixing Writer
* Asan / Lsan documentation (Stephan)
+ Asan is awesome; helpful documentation is here:
+ <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/-fsanitize>, for a
start
+ code from google, to add instrumentation during compile time
that can do various things, like "Purify" eg. heap out of bounds,
accessing stack after return, an undefined detector, and a
leak-sanitiser [ an area of growing fucntionality ] - work in Clang
and gcc-4.9
+ tell the compiler - to add instrumentation code; and at run-time when
bad, it prints an error msg; and tries to keep on or exit.
+ TLDR; valgrind - but fast... (2->4x slower)
+ some minor open issues:
+ JUnit tests using the Java process - using native libraries built by
us: a process needs to be 100% instrumented or not.
+ locally tell Java to pick up native libs from another build.
+ need to get this fixed before getting a tinderbox building with asan.
+ tried to set up a tinderbox with asan (Cloph)
+ had to build with debugutil
+ doing something wrong (Stephan)
+ Kohei and Markus also using it.
+ depending what sanitisers you want to use, you'll run into different
issues,
sanitize=address: the minimal one works; then tell by an env. var - to
activate
additional check bits.
+ can enable leak checking; started out to get a clean
asan, undefined-san, and lsan build
+ still not through - keep finding issues.
+ fixed quite a number of leaks on 'make check'
+ still finding lots of undefined issues.
+ want to get the build clean first.
+ then turn it on - currently getting a clean build
https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/LeakSanitizer#Flags
https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/Flags
+ much like the coverity things; where we had a high noise
to usefulness ratio - but finds useful things.
* Tinderbox volunteer for using mst's new native win32 make
AI: + switch windows tinderbox to use it post 4.3 (Cloph)
* Performance & tinderboxes - enabling symbols / debugutil etc.
+ need a volunteer to turn on --enable-symbols but not debugutil
+ Bjoern volunteered for six months.
* Crashtest update (Markus)
AI: + can we try adding per-process resource limits (Markus)
* Certification Committee (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy)
+ waiting until ~September
* SPAM problems on freedesktop lists (Eike)
+ unsure that spam is greater than previous times
+ seems to come in waves
+ its sometimes for a few days - more spam than others,
then decreases
+ either drop ability to post without subscribing - or get
more / new moderators.
+ moving to TDF infra has a problem of dropping attachments (Cloph)
AI: + Ask for 1-2 more dev-list moderators & re-visit next-week
+ especially useful on vacation
** Please consider volunteering as a dev list moderator ***
+ poke Eike / Thorsten.
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
+ Boston Hackfest:
+ July 26-27th
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2014/US_Summer_Hackfest
+ Tough to line-up mentoring devs
+ would appreciate developers via Google Hangout etc.
+ QA is happy to recruit programmers for our internal projects,
but would like to share w/the dev team.
+ poke potential hosters again (Michael)
+ (possible) Seattle
+ Oct 25-27
+ Straw poll: Who could make these dates?
+ prolly better to ping people individually (Michael)
+ may have a Munich hack-fest (Jan-Marek)
+ will have a BSP come-together; if someone says they're coming
just show up etc.
+ date not yet fixed; but may overlap with Toulouse (sadly)
+ it's the preference for other KDE hackers.
+ Toulouse Hackfest ...
+ Confirmed for Nov. 15-16th
+ more details:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Toulouse2014
+ Be great to have -really- easy easy hacks for devs (Bjoern)
* QA (Robinson)
+ Unconfirmed count ?
+ Staying stable at ~950
+ Bibisected regressions still increasing slowly ...
+ help wrt. fixing appreciated.
+ around 100x bibisected bugs vs. all-time 50x
+ people are really doing bibisects - which is great, need to dig ...
+ Regression count - spiking (Michael)
+ pulling people onto 4.2.x just as we freeze / do 4.3.0 is a pain.
+ also 14.04 just arriving from 12.04 - so more bugs than normal
(Bjoern)
+ which has 4.2.4 in it.
+ Cloph - happy with the quality based on low ML noise
+ translators have it installed & use it.
* LiMux is getting 5x students in mid. September -> Feb/March (Jan-Marek)
+ who would love help mentoring? - like GSoC for Limux
+ students here for 6x months
AI: + contact me / the list when they show (Michael)
* UX Update (?)
+ [ no Astron / Mirek ]
+ team positions in the design team, took discussion to
<http://www.mail-archive.com/board-discuss@documentfoundation.org/msg03268.html>
* Most serious bug (Caolan)
+ disable the new colors of formatting marks for Mac if this causes it
(Quikee)
* QA stats:
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/page.cgi?id=weekly-bug-summary.html
+198 -119 (+79 overall)
