+ this week was rough (Cloph)
+ there were a set of languagetool commits reverted (Xisco)
+ since then, seeing no sw_layoutwriter2 failures on Windows
+ same for Linux
+ if pch are used in CI? (Hossein)
+ pch is used on Windows, it's the default (Cloph)
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ document themes (Tomaz)
+ working on Calc support
+ mostly cell background, text, borders (theme support for these)
+ started with OOXML, then working on ODF filters
+ tdf#155118 multi-page floating tables in Writer (Miklos)
* LibreOffice conference Bucharest 2023 (Gabriel)
+ had a sync meeting on Friday (Gabriel)
+ discussed different parts of the workshop (Hossein)
+ goal is to have some presentation for each section before the conference
+ plan is around LO development, also covers design, implementation, SDK,
core itself
+ split the section dedicated to core: adding things related to design
+ Heiko will present that UI part
+ showing people how UI changes can/should be done
* Change Skia/Raster to enabled by default (Roman)
+ see https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/154322
+ I think we should only make any such change on the release branch (Noel)
+ it would be disappointing to degrade the skia support in LO (Hossein)
+ but if nobody steps up to do the GPU-specific work...
+ interested in svg-in-toolbars using skia (Hossein)
+ the SVG icons are rasterized to PNGs on the fly (Ilmari)
+ we have some kind of graphic tests that we could use to startup to detect
if Skia can be safely turned on with Vulkan, but it needs some work (Tomaz)
+ plan to progress with this, but low-priority
+ but could be a solution long-term
+ toolbar icons: all svgs are turned into png, exactly to help performance
+ our svg import doesn't handle our small icons currently
+ something to fix sooner or later
+ if using Skia for SVG, then it has to be built everywhere, currently
it's OK to disable it at build-time
+ the Debian maintainer is rather unimpressed by Skia (Michael S)
+ Current implementation is 10 times slower compared to Skia (Hossein)
+ hope to have tenders to move this forward
+ svg icons was already a motivation for tendering (Tomaz)
+ would also improve svg import
* Preparations for the tenders for the 2024 budget (Regina)
(1) Will the ESC work again with a Wiki page like
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Budget2023 ?
+ If yes, can we please get that page as soon as possible? Who does it?
+ Otherwise how to collect proposals?
+ will there be budget page for 2024? (Regina)
+ AI: create the page after the board budget is final (Ilmari)
+ would be better to create it immediately (Regina)
+ so the postponed items could be added there
+ no objections (Ilmari)
+ how to get rid of things that are not budgeted? (Heiko)
+ need to filter out no longer relevant items
+ the wiki page is just a selection from bugzilla
+ would like to put all items to bugzilla + add some flags to track them
+ would allow voting in bugzilla
+ ranking has to have a way to get rid of old items
+ we recently agreed to drop some items (Ilmari)
+ so this is already happening
+ we should have some kind of definition what is a good proposal
+ no strict definition, but at least some good examples
+ we took the suggestions from Hossein to require longer descriptions
(Thorsten)
+ hesitate to push this into bugzilla bugs
+ it's for bugdoc + comments
+ documenting a feature is not ideal there
+ think there is agreement that storing it in the wiki is OK
+ one idea is to have an email address alias for proposals + give feedback
on the quality (Ilmari)
+ people would get immediately feedback
+ if there is no wiki page, then at least need a good example (Regina)
+ I would like to keep the wiki page (Ilmari)
+ Documents can be attached to the Wiki, like GSoC (Hossein)
(2) There was the idea of having more detailed descriptions. How long? What
must it contain, what should it contain? If there will be a Wiki page, its
structure somehow needs to consider longer texts.
+ problem: can write a proposal, but have problems with the time estimate
+ would the email address reply help with estimation?
+ no immediate estimation, but help with the proposal (Ilmari)
+ yes, sample would help (Hossein)
+ would like a Writer template with 1-2 pages
+ can refer to past successful proposals
+ also suggest to list the modules to be touched
+ visible benefits for the user
+ also attach actual documents
(3) Is there already a decision which items of the ESC list of this year will
not get a tender from the budget 2023?
+ https://community.documentfoundation.org/t/discuss-2023-budget/9536
+ I want to suggest some ODF related items. Because I'm not able to estimate
the
effort, I would like to start early so that there is enough time for others to
(hopefully) help me in that point. (Regina)
* Update notification / install (Julien)
+ <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74934> "'Install' button in
update dialog is never activated"
+ "Do we still want this feature"?
+ Install button is there, but is never activated.
+ understanding is that this is related to the MAR updater (Hossein)
+ the user doesn't care how the update would happen, but currently we
redirect people to a website, donations are handled there
+ plan is to move the donation nagging to the app, then no problem with
in-app installation
