+ Wait for a few hours/days (Hossein)
+ Actually it checks once per 24 hours (Xisco)
* Pending Action Items:

+ Xisco -> Olivier
+ Hackfest for LibreOffice Conference hackfest
+ https://conference.libreoffice.org/2025/ not working
* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
+ 26.2.5 rc2 tag this week (moved one week back from initial plan)
+ HW acceleration issues → raster will be used on win & mac
+ builds delayed a bit, on mirrors later today
+ Announced for next day
+ 26.8.0 RC2 tag in 1 week
+ off-by-one errors on arm64 (cross-platform)
Chart2XShapeTest has various failures
- Expected: 3819
- Actual : 3820
- Delta : 1e-08
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171858
+ Regina: No Windows daily build since 2026-07-14. Problem is?
+ builds failing (host crashing/hw issues) along with long build
queues recently so no empty slot to retry
+ Likely a windows licensing issue prevents fixing/moving to
different HW
+ along with hetzner massively increasing setup-fees and
monthly fees makes experimenting a lot harder
+ Create a auto-retry rule for the bot.
+ ~60 min of windows build time today, similar for other
platforms/our hard limit, moving to different hardware/other systems
will increase windows time a bit
+ Builds w/o test is 30 min, but risky for release (Xisco)

+ large amounts of builds being submitted at once along with
rebases/rebuilds because of the windows failure clogged the queue for
windows, but normalized again
(please when you submit large series of patches at once, please
submit as WIP and only set the topmost one to get built by CI/set the
other to ready in off-hours)
AI: + Write instruction on WIP in wiki (Hossein / Cloph)+ Maybe here so that new contributors will see it https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/gerrit/SubmitPatch
+ Throttling users ? (Jonathan)
+ Have a special chack in pipeline (Cloph)
+ Bad if we punish active devs
+ if we tell them to manage, then enforcing that isn't
punishing
+ Dev time is more expensive than hw expenses (Hossein)
+ CI does not replace local builds (Cloph)
+ in a normal week, we're within the "build results in less
than 2h" benchmark
+ if scaling windows, then macOS will be close behind, and
that's also hard to scale up since not available at hetzner or other
providers/would need to self-host more hw.
+ Windows build is usually OK, except some peaks.
* Weekly report (all)
+ A11y update (Michael W)
+ Qt welding and fixing some preexisting a11y issues along the way,
e.g. missing a11y relations (see tdf#119931)
+ RTL/CTL/CJK update (Jonathan)
+ tdf#163912: Remove static conversion for ch unit
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163912
+ Made candidate patch, but other work is needed first
+ Remove or finish the WIP patch? (Hossein)
+ Default config in CJK; want to rule out complaints (JC)
+ macOS / UI (Dan)
+ My Mac Qt quit fix got broken, debugging that again
+ Patched GTK on my Linux machine to help debug theme
spacing/margins
+ Mac-specific parts of the Qt plugin merged last week
+ Still looking at Patrick’s highDPI patch
+ Touch Aqua or Qt for fixing?
+ Make both UI to work (Dan)
+ We should think about possible ways to measure/test widget
size/spacing (Hossein)
+ Making sure widget size/spacing is fine on different plafroms
+ Or at least, make sure that things does not change much
+ Had new issues on sidebar size, not sure about the source
of that change
+ Saving the window size does not consider scaling, so expect big change from one plugin to another
+ Base (Vissarion)
+ Polishing and fixing issues in reportbuilder C++ first
implementation https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/208316
+ New dialogues for maintaining SQL comments merged
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/208198
+ Work in progress poll about base
+ Scripting (Neil)
+ Fixed and merged the patches mentioned last week to
implement the XCopyableBrowseNode interface for the QuickJS-based script
provider.
+ XAggregation is no longer used by the master script provider
so language script providers can detect when a node is one of their own.
+ ODF-TC (Olivier + Regina)
+ Improvement of TYPE function (Regina)
https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-4201
+ Bug fixes now possible for tdf#73085, tdf#171183,
