+ not on Jenkins, though
+ beta1 next week?
+ late features?
+ 25.8.4 RC1 in this week: after the alpha Windows binaries are done
+ Q: update in https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/issues/3838
+ updated now (Cloph)
+ gerrit upgrade -- new "code style" vote required? (Miklos)
+ already contacted Guilhem (Xisco)
+ would be good to avoid artifical clicking (Stephan)
+ ideal would be for Guilhem to disable this on gerrit
+ workaround: Jenkins to set it (Cloph)
+ Guilhem tried to disable this, but didn't succeed (Xisco)
+ The dialog allows setting both votes (code review, code style) at once
(Ilmari)
AI: look at Jenkins to set code-style+1 (Cloph)

* Outreachy (Ilmari)
+ organisers confirm intern selections on 28 Nov
+ interns announced 1 Dec
* Windows build instructions in the wiki (Ilmari)
+ wsl based build is the official one
+ sprinkled various notes in the articles to point to WSL instead
+ question: should Ilmari take what we have in the WSL article and rework the old
"building on windows" article?
+ could retain the "generic windows" notes, but all cygwin notes can go
+ please note: path should be all lowercase, it matters (Regina)
+ think this was fixed already (Cloph)
+ seeing this is still a problem (Regina)
+ then good to fix this (Cloph)
+ the build also breaks if you build or "e:\r", NSS breaks
+ suggest to keep cygwin (Hossein)
+ suggest: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Hossein/Build (draft)
+ good to separate cygwin vs wsl on different pages
+ proposal was: remove all mentions mentions of cygwin from the default
windows build page (Ilmari)
+ no interest in keeping cygwin in the long run (Cloph)
+ useful to keep it as an archive for old branches
+ for history, old wiki revision is enough (Ilmari)
+ aware of some bugs which affect both cygwin, wsl and even MinGW (Hossein)
+ https://cygwin.com/cgit/newlib-cygwin/
+ think wsl in itself is better than cygwin, though
+ not ideal: mix of linux/wsl + native
+ AI: remove references to cygwin in the default "build on windows" page

+ ODF-TC (Olivier + Regina)
+ Mike Kaganski was a guest on the ODF TC conference call.
We discussed some of his comments:
+ (A) Ambiguity in ODFF 'forced recalculation' definition

+ (B) https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-4178
19.203 draw:page-number: wording is unclear about fixed value
agree, but issue needs some further work
+ Not enough time to discuss his comments on BIN2DEC (and similar ones).
+ docx export validator by default in tests (Xisco)
+ done, it's enabled by default; now need to opt out if really want to
bypass it

(neither raster nor Vulkan), GDI+ works but slow (comment 22 for workaround)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166803

Old:
+ EDITING LibreOffice 25.8.1 keeps crashing when changing the anchor

+ macOS 26.1 only. bisection appreciated
+ New high severity bugs of the week:

+ Crash in: static unsigned int build_argv(struct engine_gpg *, const
char *)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159362
